Sorry that it's taken so long to write. "Life is what happens..."
Pass it around to anyone who might need to hear it.
Careful
Copyright 2004 Mike Littrell
On a cold, snowy day
Momma watched as he played.
Snowballs and sleds sliding away.
Momma started to pray,
Chorus:
Be careful out there.
Know somebody cares.
Can't be with you everywhere.
Losin you'd be more than I can bear.
Be careful out there.
Teenage son wantin' the car keys.
Friends are ridin' "Can I have them please?"
Hit the show, maybe have some Chinese.
Momma passed them with a sense of unease.
Chorus:
Soldier man goin' off to war.
Right to Freedom what he's fightin for.
Flyin' off to a distant shore.
Momma's tears began to pour.
Chorus:
"Da*n your bolt-brained bearings!" Rod Gallowglass to his faithful, epileptic robot, Fess.
"As you wander through life, wherever you go, keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole." -- Paul Osteen (brother of Joel Osteen)
very nice....
I likey just the way it is.
I don't think I'm a lot dumber than you think that I thought I once was - White Goodman (Dodgeball)
First up - never say sorry for a song taking time to create. There are no deadlines here.
The line lengths took some work, but overall I think it's very good.
Best,
A :-)
"Be good at what you can do" - Fingerbanger"
I have always felt that it is better to do what is beautiful than what is 'right'" - Eliot Fisk

My uncle has been stationed north of Fallujah since January of last year. Before he left, the family got together at least three times. All I could think of was "Be careful out there." Rich Mullins once said that songwriting is the way that he put the world in order. (Paraphrased)
I'm just trying to make sense of the situation, my feelings, and everything.
To Alan, I'm not real satisfied with the phrasing, myself.
Thanks, guys.

I was looking at old posts and Alan was right.
Chorus:
Be careful out there.
Know somebody cares.
Can't be with you everywhere.
Losin you I can't bear.
Be careful out there.
I'll try to put some mp3 on tomorrow for the melody.
