It Dawned On Me Then

  I was walking down the road
  through the woods by my house
  thinking of the load
  and how sometimes I'm a louse

  and it dawned on me then
  as a crow flew above my head
  that life could be a friend
  or I could easily be dead

  ain't it funny how we are
  on days that seem not so good
  and we think loves away so far
  and luck needs a knock on wood

  and ain't it funny how we cry
  when all seems so damn lost
  a little love will answer the why's
  and ease the pain of some of the cost

  Well I sat on an old log
  and thought it over awhile
  noticed in the ravine sat a frog
  and wondered why he wore a smile

  and it dawned on me then
  as a fly sat down on my knee
  it wasn't about back when
  and it was never about me

  ain't it funny how we are
  on days that seem not so good
  and we think loves away so far
  and luck needs a knock on wood

  and ain't it funny how we cry
  when all seems so damn lost
  a little love will answer the why's
  and ease the pain of some of the cost

  So I got up and headed home
  to the girls and dogs I love
  and off to the side noticed some bones
  and wondered what animal they were of

  and it dawned on me then
  how strangely harsh life can be
  and how senseless it is to not bend
  unless you really need some misery

  ain't it funny how we are
  on days that seem not so good
  and we think loves away so far
  and luck needs a knock on wood

  and ain't it funny how we cry
  when all seems so damn lost
  a little love will answer the why's
  and ease the pain of some of the cost
