It's sometimes kind of funny how songs come along. I was just explaining to a friend what happened because he noticed my knuckle bleeding. His response was to tell me that it sounded like a song and well sir, now it is. How I scraped My Knuckle by Reggie Miles © 2005 I scraped my knuckle Tryin’ to pry up a nickel, That was stuck in the tar, Run over by a car, In the middle of the road. And things don’t ever seem to get better. Damn! This is getting’ old! Now I don’t mean to bore ya, With another sad story, ‘Bout a good man who can’t get a break. Who thought that sooner or later, His luck would change, for heaven’s sake. I tried everything I could. It didn’t do any good. Nothin’s turnin’ out like it should. And I don’t know how much more of this This poor man can take. It ain’t my choosin’ Seems I only win at losin’ It’s enough to drive a sober man to drink. Hey, beer tender! Keep it full. While I sit here and think. All these dead end jobs They leave me feelin’ kind of robbed Nothin’ to show for the time that I’ve spent I don’t even have enough left over To pay the landlord’s rent You call this a livin’? All I do is all the givin’ And I don’t get a thing in return Except another sad story About a good man getting’ burned I know it sounds funny But I ain’t got no money And these blues they’re a wearin’ me down That’s why I’m scratchin’ like a hen for a worm In this asphalt ground And that’s how I scraped my knuckle Tryin’ to pry up a nickel, That was stuck in the tar, Run over by a car, In the middle of the road. ------------------ [email]reggie.miles@verizon[/email] www.ezfolk.com/audio/reggiemiles www.geocities.com/nobro www.cdbaby.com/cd/reggiemiles www.motagator.net/bands/129 www.myspace.com/reggiemiles

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
