Livin’ in the Pocket

I am not the man… in my songs
Sometimes I try to be
I paint my thoughts…light, dark, blues…and mystery
They’re a part of me 

I let it go…I ease into the stream
I let it flow through me
All around…I see liquid poetry
And Baby, I feel free 

Refrain:
(You know) I’m rockin’ to the rhythm and the rhyme
(You know) I’m happy most of the time
Livin’ in the pocket
Livin’ in the pocket
(You know) I’m rockin’ to the rhythm and the rhyme
(You know) I’m happy most of the time
Livin’ in the pocket
Livin’ in the pocket 

 When I look…when I look into your eyes
I read the book of time
We are a verse…in the Uni-verse…of rhyme
Hear the carillon chime 

 Oh baby…we give each other love
Can’t take that away
But if you change yourself…just to try to make love stay
It’ll go anyway 

Refrain 

People say you lose…if you fall short of your aim
Baby, that ain’t so
When you take a chance…You ain’t just watchin’ the show
Win or lose you grow 

 And when the curtain falls…and the last page is turned
Nothin’ left to say
You’ll be surprised to find…there ain’t no end of the day
At the end of the day

Refrain
