Left Behind

by @durt3113

Lyrics

We love to rock n roll
All night and every day

You could have been something
But you got a job
And hid away
You could have been someone
But you quit your life
And ran away

You really had it going
Destined for the top
But you gave yourself away
Three kids two jobs
Two ex husbands
And never-ending misery

My old best friend
Now best friends with the bottle
Such a horrid sight
These are people
I used to know
They left me behind

I’m better off now
I’m well on my way
I’m taking to the skies

Love this storytelling! It’s so interesting because you could read the three verses as three separate people you used to party with, or one and the same person you were close to, whose life descended into addiction. I like your guitar chords too.

You have a great guitar part here it supports the lyrics really well. Interesting poignant lyrics.
