A Man On A Mission (co-write w/ Greg Johnson) - 09/18/20 11:16 AM
Greg Johnson asked if I wanted to join him for a co-write for a pitch requesting a late 70's style Coutry song.
So we're stepping back about 40 years for a little Outlaw Country...
A MAN ON A MISSION
if i had a dollar for every good choice that i’ve made
i'd be just as broke as i am once my rent's been paid
i ain’t lived the life that most folks say that i should
but balance it out i'd have to say i'm on the right side of good
i'm a man on a mission
so don't get in my way
'cause that's a dangerous position
and there can be hell to pay
i don't need your permission
and i don't care what you say
i'm a man on a mission
to get through one more day
been a month of sundays since i sat in any church pew
i don't ask that you forgive my sins, though there've been quite a few
the devil's tried his best, but i never took that branding
me and the man upstairs have got our own understanding
i'm a man on a mission...
i've had my heart broken, i broke one or two in return
been knocked down so many times you'd think that i might have learned
some just for fun, but, you know, i've loved me a few
so i keep getting back up and jumpin' back in 'cause that's what a man's got to do
i'm a man on a mission...
