Song Information:

This is a Folk-Rock song. Sitting on my couch late one night strumming my guitar this song just started coming forth. I wrote some lyrics and recorded the basics and sent it over to Craig. He sent back some additional lines. Slowly, along with Craig and some much appreciated input from Ejh. rschletty, and thetiler this song has reached it's current version. Thanks guys.

Song Lyrics:

Lyrics:
Reasons to get weary
Reasons to give up
Reasons that tell you
Youre fresh out of luck.

I could tell you a story. I could bend your ear.
But its all too familiar, the reasons all too clear.

If you could walk just one mile in my shoes,
Youd be thinkin, Hey, whats it all been for?
All the roads lead to that same old dead end
And thats where I find myself, once more

Reasons to get weary
Reasons to go on
Reasons to keep moving
When expectations gone.

Bridge:
Its a story thats so very old.
Every man knows it well.
Wheres the path before me leading to?
It might be heaven, but I fear I might be hell.

Reasons to get weary
Anxieties to spare.
Reasons to keep grinning
When you just no longer care.

Somewhere through the mysteries a light must shine
But its never shone for me.
Still I wake every morinin, drag myself outa bed.
And keep on searching, searching endlessly.

Reasons to be hopeful
Few and far between
Those reasons keep me going
You might know what I mean.

I could tell you a story. I could bend your ear.
But its all too familiar, the reasons all too clear.

{Bridge} repeat

Reasons to get weary
Reasons to give up
Reasons that tell you
Youre fresh out of luck.

I could tell you a story. I could bend your ear.
But its all too familiar, the reasons all too clear.
