'The Pantry'

I just finished this song today. Hope that you approve...

Verse:
Been down on my luck for oh so long.

The pantry is empty with everything gone.

The creditors keep pounding on my door.

Don't know what to tell them other than I have no more.
Verse:

My mortgage company is bearing down.

They say pay up now or your house will be gone.

Been paying them for many years.

But they have no sympathy only threats in my ears.
Verse:

My car is next to be repossessed.

Can't make the payments and the bank is upset.

I made a commitment to pay this loan.

Because my car took me to things that are the best.
Verse:

I have tried to do everything that is right.

Went to school and learned a trade.

Raised four lovely children and watched them grow.

but they are now out there on their own.
Verse:

Soon I will be homeless and out on the street.

Searching through garbage for something to eat.

Hope that I can find a place that is warm.

And a safe place that won't cause any harm.
Verse:

I will overcome all that has gone wrong.


I don't plan on being here very long.

I will be back on my feet before too long.

So, don't count me out because I am very strong.

Steve

Sad sad story... I hope you're not trying to tell us anything!

You are on fire! I've never had much luck writing lyrics... You got it going on!
