LIFE AND TIMES words & music by Lenny Solomon

© L.Solomon 2005

 

It’s morning, I’m crawling, just heard the news

That leaders, and other schemers, went on a cruise

To nowhere, on a dare, got matching tattoos

That showed that, they’re best at, acting like fools

Where am I going tomorrow

What am I doing today

Need more than jive, to keep me alive

From sitting back and wasting away

 

Gamblers, they tell me, just place your bet

Wheeling, and dealing, is just a duet

‘tween winning, and losing, so don’t get upset

When best plans, you’re making, are never kept

Where am I going tomorrow

What am I doing today

Need more than jive, to keep me alive

From sitting back and wasting away

 

(Bridge)

Life and times, you win some and you lose

You do what you can, to shake those blues

‘cause when you’re done, you want everybody to say

You tried your best, you tried your way
