Happy Home (Keep On Writing)

There was a time in my life that I felt so all alone That I never thought that someday I would have a happy home A family and a four track Radio Shack microphones A backyard and a hammock and a paid off student loan A backyard and a hammock and a paid off student loan So if you see me and I'm dreaming about selling socks on eBay Shake me hard till I'm awake Stitches will unravel, the stitches will unravel The stitches will unravel if you knit with fishing line Though your cast will be refined, you'd be better off with twine When I was a kid we would play Annie at recess I was always Sandy because I was the smallest From all that crawling on the blacktop There were holes in all my jeans In the toes of my bowed shoes but I never complained Because I didn't think that I could sing See I never perfected that nasally thing But all the kids sang in the school play Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same So if you hear me and I'm screaming about auditions for Annie I hope you will try out with me, there are parts for everybody And you don't need to be the dog unless you like being the doggy He's up against a team that he has never seen before And they march into the outfield like they're marching off to war It's a good one out to right field but they're quick and make the play And as the curtain closes he just bows and walks away Singing, "If you're breathing, you are living And if you're living, you are learning So write and write and keep on writing Just make sure your life's exciting" So if you see me and I've joined the roller derby Know that I've become something I always wanted to be Fast and strong and part of a team Teacher, thanks for everything You said, "If you're breathing, you are living And if you're living, you are learning So write and write and keep on writing Just make sure your life's exciting Write and write and keep on writing Just make sure your life's exciting Write and write and keep on writing Just make sure your life's exciting Just make sure your life's exciting Just make sure your life's exciting
