My first attempt at a song. It's a slow and bluesie number

Verse 1
I walk thru life's yard
Jumping from patch to patch
Sometimes it gets really hard
I've got the blues to match

Verse 2
I lost my job, just last month
It doesn't seem long enough ago
You see, I only liked it once
That place was a freaking hole

Chorus
Be careful, they all know you
Everywhere you walk, you walk as one
Don't step in number two
Yeah, look out for number two

Verse 3
The voices let you know you're not alone
You told your sister you're an only child
I Don't pick up that phone
The voices have gone wild

Chorus

Verse 4
The doctor says I'll be OK
They tell me it's true
I think their right, but only yesterday
I landed, in number two

Chorus

Hey, neat blues song Parker. I really like it. First, I liked how you played off of the saying "Looking out for number one" but I also liked how you played this line:
I think their right, but only yesterday
I landed, in number two

into it.

Good stuff

Thanks for the kind words. My first attempt. Was nervous.

That saying you mentioned was inspired by the late-great Rodney Dangerfield. The end of the movie Back To School.
