I really enjoyed reading your lyrics. So many great lines and an excellent story too! A fine opening verse -
If he could bet faster horses, Drive bigger cars,
Meet Faster women in higher class bars,
Oh, he’d be thanking his lucky stars
if he could have all of these things.
This verse informs the reader about the desires/values of the central character. however, my favourite lyric of yours which, also possesses great wisdom, is -
“Son, it isn’t what we have that makes us happy,
it’s what we take the time to enjoy.”
A very good write!
