If This Is It

Workin' the late shift.... at a dead end job

Just another name.... on the time sheet log

A million places..... I'd rather be

Like playin' in a bar.....drinkin' rot-gut whiskey

As my night ends..... and turns to day

My car knows the road...turns in my driveway

I open a beer.....tastes mighty fine

It's simple pleasures....that help pass the time

If this is it....life's called my bluff

If this is it....it's been rough

If this is it....I won't trade up

If this is it....that's good enough

Where did the years..... all disappear?

Gone like a lady...... fallen like tears

This is the path..... I'm stuck with

My rising star..... is a long gone myth

If this is it....life's called my bluff

If this is it....it's been rough

If this is it....I won't trade up

If this is it....that's good enough

I have my memories...of the good times

I should write a book.....fill it with rhythms

So many stories......so many places

Brings on a smile.......like holding aces

(Inst. solo)

If this is it....life's called my bluff

If this is it....it's been rough

If this is it....I won't trade up

If this is it....that's good enough

"If This Is It" is the song that got me The Mix Artist Of The Month and Song Of The Week awards way back in 2012. I thought it would be a good idea to include it in my song list again. So here it is without any changes or re-mastering.

Credits : Kevin Marcey (Buddrumming) on drums and drums engineering.

Farrell Jackson : Songwriter and all the rest.

Cheers!
