about

Found a cool rhythm and chord progression on my guitar. . .the lyrics came later!
Born out of frustration of feeling like you are not making much progress.

lyrics

Life is a little like a rocking chair
Life is a little like a rocking chair
Life is a little like a rocking chair
Moves forward, back but
Goes nowhere
Oh life is a little like a rocking chair

Life is a little like a water drop
Life is a little like a water drop
Life is a little like a water drop
When your mouth is dry
It ain't enough
Oh life is a little like a water drop

I move one step forward
Ten steps back
hmm
So many times I'm losing track
Hmm
One of these days all will be mine
One fine day my light will shine
Oh, life is a little like a rocking chair

I'm going down to the river where the waters flow
Down to the river where the waters flow
Going down to the river where the waters flow
Gonna rest my mind
Ease my soul
Going down to the river where the waters flow

I move one step forward
Ten steps back
hmm
So many times I'm losing track
Hmm
One of these days all will be mine
One fine day my light will shine
Oh, life is a little like a rocking chair
