Desperation

I've been on the front step
Looking for a cigarette
Bummed it off some guy
Don't got regret
I've been thinkin bout the old days
When I wasn't so afraid
To get up and live my dreams
And now I'm thinkin
I can't even afford jeans
"Chorus"
I've been sitting on my front step
Lookin down
Lookin down to my feet upon the ground
I never thought I would lose all I had
I never thought that life could be this bad


Got up from the step started movin around
Looking for my money so I could go to town
Counting change on the counter top
I never knew, a dime would mean so much
And here I am with a bag full of change
Heading to the bank for an exchange
I never thought I would do this
I couldn't believe I was nervous
"Chorus"
I've been sitting on my front step
Lookin down
Lookin down to my feet upon the ground
I never thought I would lose all I had
I never thought that life could be this bad
"Bridge"
The man at the bank gave me a look
I looked at him shook and spoke
A mans got to do what a mans got to do
And except the fact that he's got no clue
When we stumble to the ground
We got to know there's no one to bail us out
We have to do it ourselves so we can learn how
"Chorus"
I've been sitting on my front step
Lookin down
Lookin down to my feet upon the ground
I never thought I would lose all I had
I never thought that life could be this bad
But today I'm destine to find a way
To survive in this sea of disarray
Some how or another I'll get out of this
And go back to vacuuming up my dimes

LOL it makes me laugh because 1. Its so true and 2. I cant even tell you how many times ive been in this situation xD I love you! Another good one, of course!

This is very Dylanesque.(if I spelt it right)Wow....first the Beatles,now Dylan!Your in good company,my boy!

Here you go again,John. Great to read, though full of Unmeasurable Misery and the floor trembling underneath your feet obviously.
I do not know if you speak from reality or from other peoples reality, but this is a situation far 2 many of us have to go through,I'm afraid.
It actually makes no difference: you plunge us into it with full unmistakable force and I like it! THANKS!

I actually have counted change and taken it to the bank so that's what inspired this song I added the everything else. It was a desperate time I needed money it was embarrassing but I got over it and have 80 bucks in change
