Back On My Feet

Lyrics

Back On My Feet John Kumjian (ASCAP ©2006) Got a call about a week ago from an old friend of mine Just checkin? in, seein? what?s new. Guess I?m doin? fine Been ten years or longer, been a long, long time. Well I?m?. Chorus Back on My feet again No lookin? back at where we?ve been Back on my feet again? Did a little time, for dealin? dime, rehab after that Got so drunk I nearly died when I burned down my old flat Lost my wife; lost my job; nearly lost my hat. Well I?m?. Chorus Well I?m callin just to let you know, I?m moving to your town Hope to come a-callin? soon and I hope you?ll be around Should be there in a day or two, your address I have found. Glad I?m?. Chorus Well he said good-by and I said, ?Good luck, Joe? and we wished each other well, I was lookin? forward to my friend and the stories we would tell Instrumental Well I got another call about an hour ago, from another dear friend of mine Did you hear about old Joe, he just died from a life of crime? Robbed a liquor store just the other day, for a measly bottle of wine Now he?s buried six feet my friend, never lookin? back again Buried six feet my friend Well there?s a lesson to be learned from this, and it isn?t very hard to take You can?t be lookin? at the past, lookin? at every mistake Take a forward glance, a forward stance, live a decent life for heaven?s sake So we can stay on our feet my friends, no lookin back at where we?ve been Stay on our feet my friends.
