lyrics

I Choose To

Sweat rings on the bar
Smoke rings in the air
We used to joke about this being my second home
Well, it’s in first place now that you’re not there

I wrote it all down how I feel about you
I wrote it all down on a napkin for you
The most perfect metaphore
The napkin wadded and stained on the bar room floor

Should I forgive myself for losing you
Or drink some more and choose to forget you
I should
But I never do
No I never
Though I choose to

I watched home movies of out first vacation today
You almost seemed happy that day
Sometimes I’d see a smile
A smile I didn’t see when you walked down the aisle

Should I forgive myself for losing you
Or drink some more and choose to forget you
I should
But I never do
No I never
Though I choose to
Should I pick myself up off the floor
Remind myself how I tried and tried some more
I should
But I never do
No I never do
Though I choose to

26 Years
by Allen Thompson

Allen Thompson is true Americana. Like myself, it's not hard to figure out that he's spent hours mesmerized by the recordings of artists like Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan. Dead Leaves
