He spent most his life in prison
He lived his life one day at a time
He left his wife and two sons
All he wanted was just to get away
But I guess that's just the way the story goes.
He told me that he loves his boys
But he couldn’t stand the pain of a life that is going nowhere
I guess he just didn’t know how to play the game
And before too long he was back in prison again.
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes.
He lost his father when he was five
And his mother did her best
But she just couldn’t put out the fire
in her little boy that lived one day at a time.
So he would paint the sky with colors
And dream of things he always wished he had
Life at home and his father to hold
And a heart that never felt so sad.
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes.
The last time he left prison he stayed with us for a while
Then he found a friend that kept from the cold
Living in an old trailer the needle made him fell whole
Like life was good for just a little while.
A few years passed and tried to see the dream
He reached for a star and call his boys
But by then they forgotten who he was
And he would sit alone and cry
Wondering why this life left him so cold and dry.
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes.
He called me on Monday morning
But I had missed the call
And when I called him back there was no one there at all.
They found him a lonely hotel room
Lifeless in his bed
They say he died on Monday
And that was all they said.
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes
Now he’s home and he will never be cold anymore
He’s left this life where he thought nobody cared
He finally found his dream.
And they say that’s the way it goes.

Coincidentally, I was just thinking yesterday that I hope I die on a Sunday. I like Sundays. I really hope its not a Monday.
this was actually about my brother-n-law who just passed 2 weeks ago,sunday he was at our home and mowed the lawn for us and other than seeming very tired I thought he was fine,he was a year clean from drugs and trying to put his life back together.,.what a trip, I gues that's just how it goes.
