We Shared A Home, On A Street Named Rome.
Once We Were So Complete, Solid As Concrete.
I Remember When We First Met, That Feeling Inside Me I’ll Never Forget,
Now Replaced With Regret,
If Only I Never Placed A Bet.
While She Was Selling Stainless Steel,
I Was At The Roulette Wheel.
My Gambling Became An Obsession,
Soon It Turned Into Depression.
Fearing Her Life Was Going To Be This Way,
Till She Was Old And Grey,
She Told Me She Gave Me All She Could,
Thinking I Understood.
Putting Aside Her Wedding Vow, Her Love For Me She No Longer Would Allow.
Now Out Of Work, I Couldn’t
Even Find A Job As A Clerk.
After Losing Her Trust, It Was Hard To Adjust.
Once I Lost Her Respect, Our Marriage
Would Soon Be Wrecked.
Looking At The Balance Sheet,
She Saw A Dead End Street,
Taking A Window Seat, After Boarding A Plane,
She Found Herself In The Fast Lane.
Out Of Town On Her Own,Using Her Cell Phone,
She Called Her New Boyfriend,
To Avoid That Dead End.
It’s No Debate,That Day She Went Out Of State,
Sharing His Bedroom Suite,
This Was Where She Would Cheat.
By Going Out On That Date, She Decided Our Fate.
Instead Of Telling Me Straight,
No Longer She Wanted To Wait,
She Left The State, And Found A New Soul-Mate.
My Dream Turned Into A Nightmare,
Once I Knew Of Her Affair.
It’s Her Husband She Should Have Stuck By, When Things Started To Go Awry,
Instead She Fell For Another Guy.
We Would Always Disagree,
When She’d Come Home From Tennessee.
When She’d Visit Nashville,
My Body Would Get A Chill.
When She’d Go To Oklahoma,
I Would Fall Into A Coma.
I Would Go Through A Withdraw,
While She Spent Time In Wichita.
What Hurts The Most, Was Being So Close,
And Having So Much To Say,
While Watching Her Walk Away.
I Prayed To The Heavens Above,
For All I Ever Wanted Was Her Love.
I Miss The Boys, With Them Playing Toys. I Miss Thier Smiles, Now Apart By Miles.
I Miss The Boys Voices, If
Only I Made Better Choices.
I Miss Taking Ronnie For A Flu Shot,
Believe It Or Not.
To Often I Was At Work, Now
I Feel Like Such A Jerk.
Those Times At The Park Playing Ball, Or Just Going To The Mall,
Is What I Will Miss Most Of All.
Weather By Car, Plane Or Ship, With My Boys Gone On A Trip,
I Always Call To Say Hi,
Even Though Sometimes I’ll Cry.
It Was The Greatest Blow, The Loss Of Miko.
Like An Everlasting Glow, There Is One Thing I Know, He Will Always Be My Bro.
On The Basketball Court, It Was Just A Sport. To Me, He’ll Always Be,
My Number One Pick, Patrick.
I Know One Thing For Sure,
And I Hope I Can Endure,
Facing The Simple Fact, That I Got Sacked,
And Someone Else Will Be:
Teaching Ronnie His Baseball Swing,
Helping Patrick Buy An Engagement Ring,
Putting A Bandaid On Matthew’s Bee Sting.
I Ask Myself Why, What Have I Done,
Am I That Bad A Guy, To Have Lost All This Fun.
