Half the Time

Here's my "motif" song:

Half the Time
Copyright 2003 Narciso Lobo

Half the time I’m drinking gin
The other half I’m drunk
Half the time I’m telling lies
The other half is bunk
Half the time I’m half awake remembering your skin
Half the time I lose the game
The other half I can’t win

Half the time you’re not around
The other half I’m alone
Half the time I’m smoking weed
The other half I’m stoned
Half the time I wish I hadn’t done half the things I do
Half the time I’m seeing red
The other half I’m blue

Half the time I need some cash
The other half I’m broke
Half the time I miss the the 8 ball
The other half I choke
Half the time I ain’t half the man that you wish I could be
Half the time I’m blind as a bat
The other half I can’t see

Half the time I’m so bummed out
The other half’s no fun
Half the time I walk away from love
The other half I run
Half a chance is all I need to show you I can change
Half a line’s all I got left
Won’t you please meet me halfway?

I know who John Prine is!!! I'm not that young!

Wait - Why am I protesting my youngness??
