What Life Will Throw At Me. (Neil Cotton)
Used to be a selfish guy, lusted for my pleasures Fast cars, sure women, no financial pressure But I fell for a gal who didn’t fit my schemes Found there was more, in love and family
I'm not sayin' it's all easy But it's made a man out o’me A strong mind can overcome What life will throw at me.
Sitting in the kitchen, table piled with bills We always figured we used our money well That scene has been repeated many many times The kids and us don't feed from the welfare line
I'm not sayin' it's all easy But it's made a man out o’me A strong mind can overcome What life will throw at me.
B~ During my selfish years I learned one thing Nobody but you can do your bidding. When lay-offs come and jobs are rare Get off your butt and start over
I'm not sayin' it's all easy But it's made a man out o’me A strong mind can overcome What life will throw at me.

Hi Neil, I like this one also. Short, to the point, and well written. You know I'm gonna fuss about the same word rhyme in your chorus. I've of the mindset that a better word can always be found, lol. I wish I had it for ya! I like your bridge but had a thought for that last line. I don't know, see what you think. KOS. David B~ During my selfish years I learned one thing Nobody but you can do your bidding. When lay-offs come and jobs are rare Don't let that fool be you, you're kidding

Haha! You'd think if a guy complained about a rhyme, he would at least offer up a fix! Oops
