Worryin’ ‘Bout the Little Things (02.03.10)
(V) Sometimes my thoughts go underground. My face grows long and wears a frown. Feels like I’m tangled up and caught up in a trap. Walk around all in a funk, buried beneath all of my junk. Where everything that’s piled up ends up on my lap.
(V) Blinded by what’s botherin’ me. Refusing to hear and cannot see. What’s going on and how some people really hurt. Forget to count my blessings. Hear the tune my world sings. ‘Stead of cryin’ over spilled milk, that there’s no dessert.
(Chorus) Everyday the sun rises and I have someone near. What I need is there for me and I have little fear. Water flows from every tap, Sunday noon’s I can nap. Worryin’ ‘bout the little things and they’re all just little things.
(V) Can get myself all worked up, if I break my favourite cup. Or just when I’m in to it the satellite goes down. Toilet needs a plunging’, my house feels like a dungeon. Worryin’ ’bout the little things and they’re all just little things. (Chorus)
(V) Sometimes my thoughts bring me down. Each leaf I see is turning brown. Feels like I’m drowin’, struggling’ for air. Forget to count my blessings. Hear the tune my world sings. Worryin’ ‘bout the little things, when they’re all just little things.

Hi Doug..
This flows along pretty well and the story will relate to many. I surely need to follow the singer's advice. Minor nit: In VS 1 you might look at paring a few words for flow. I am always amazed at how many writer's can produce tunes at the pace required for these challenges. I can't ever spell correctly until my third cup of coffee...lol.

Thank you Larry. I will look over what you suggested. (That's why we post em.) Doug As for forcing the Muse. Hey. They need the exercise and I find that the more you write the more you write.

So true Mackie but they really are little when you compare them to the real problems a lot of people face everyday. I can get worked up over the fact that the sink drips, forgetting that I have access to something a large part of the world does not.
