An Empty Hope Chest
Stuck in a sad country song I detest
Wailing the beat of this damn road test
Kicked to the curb away from life's blessed
Locked inside an empty hope chest
===========================
Feel like a sad clown played a cruel jest
Too clumsy to ride this cycle to the crest
Mismatched pattern of fabrics unaddressed
Locked inside an empty hope chest
===========================
Corrosion holds my wheels in arrest
Puttin' it in gear faces a rigged contest
Timekeeper in the rearview mirror to attest
Locked inside an empty hope chest
===========================
Changing the tune, time to give it a rest
Tired of life on the cusp of depressed
Cryin' in my beer is too hard to digest
Steppin' outside an empty hope chest
=============================
