The Jumping Rope Of Life

Bobby had a moment
back in grade school I recall
The young girls they were cheerin
somehow he stumbled didnt fall

Now, I was the better athlete
with a tendency to choke
i stood and watched them smile
yeah bobby was no Joke

seems like yesterday....

I'm starin at the sidewalk lookin at the sky
seekin out the spaces thinking maybe i could fly
how my gettin in there, how will I survive?
standin on the outskirts of the jumping rope of life
standin on the outskirts of the jumping rope of life

I fin'ly joined the Facebook
After years of saying no
It's exactly what I thought it was
It's a life achievement show

Everybody's got a photograph
A little story they tell
My life is more than half over now
Where'd it go pray tell?

I still do it...

I'm starin at the sidewalk lookin at the sky
seekin out the spaces thinking maybe i could fly
how my gettin in there, how will I survive?
standin on the outskirts of the jumping rope of life
standin on the outskirts of the jumping rope of life


I wanna be a part of this big blue world,
of this big blue world
I hope y'all understand, I fought to be a man
I miss her voice, "fella you can", she said "fella you can", she said "fella you can".....

I'm starin at the sidewalk lookin at the sky
seekin out the spaces thinking maybe i could fly
how my gettin in there, how will I survive?
standin on the outskirts of the jumping rope of life
standin on the outskirts of the jumping rope of life
