Starting humming, then penned this, in less than 10minutes:
There's a light at the end of the tunnel Gotta keep crawling to There's an answer to all of these puzzles Just gotta keep piecing through Just when you think you have all the answers Another shoe gets dropped Surrounded by all this verbal cancer How many more feet to stop? So have a seat and just let it all pass Or maybe next is the place where I ask Chorus: No rest for the wicked No easy road to take Just remember no limits Than only those you make. So keep reaching for greatness Leave your legacy behind No rest for the wicked For wicked is losing time (End chorus) There's a moment in weakness Just gotta keep breathing through Live your own life uniqueness Ignore the hate; keep doing you So when you think you're alone now Look up and keep holding on to faith Wipe the sweat from your brow now Keep ahead of the doubtful demon's chase You must keep reaching out for more You cannot imagine what's still in store Chorus No rest for the wicked Remember who you are No rest for the wicked Latch on to your shooting star Chorus There's a light at the end of the tunnel Just gotta keep crawling to There's an answer to all of these puzzles Just gotta keep piecing through No rest for the wicked One day, one step, one breath at a time. No rest for the wicked Keep your smile and save your rhyme.

All your bags are packed; getting ready to go
Sitting here with you on the pen floor I hate to wake you up just to say good-bye But the car is running, the crate is warm So I'll pick you up inside my arms Already I am crying and I kiss you quick So kiss me and bark for me Tell me that you’ll wag for me Remember me and all the games we shared You’re leaving on a jet plane A new adventure waits for you there Leaving on a jet plane Your new family waits for you there Oh, pup, I hate to see you go There's so many things we couldn't do So many things they will now do with you I know you will have so much fun with them Every place you'll go, I'll smile with you Every scent and sound, I'll feel with you So please don't fret; go and meet all your new friends So kiss me and bark for me Tell me that you’ll wag for me Remember me and all the games we shared You’re leaving on a jet plane A new adventure waits for you there Leaving on a jet plane Your new family waits for you there Oh, pup, I hate to see you go But you're... Leaving on a jet plane I’ll miss you and all adventures there (Softer) Leaving on a jet plane But I know you’ll love adventures there (Softer) Leaving on a jet plane Please know I send all my love with you Oh girls, I hope you know... I’ll miss you. Doberman Kisses (sung to the theme of Butterfly Kisses by: Bob Carlisle)
My modified lyrics: There's two things I know for sure She was sent here from heaven And she's daddy's little girl As I drop to my knees to hold her tight She prances forward ... and I close my eyes. And I thank the Gods for all of this joy in my life Oh, but most of all, for Chorus: For Doberman kisses and tail wags galore Sweeping up the fur and wiping muddy pawprints off the floor. "Walk me in the pet store, Momma, I hear it's fun there to shop" I know I'm sposed to walk nice on leash, Momma, but I like to hop" Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right To deserve those tail wags every morning And Doberman kisses each night Sweet baby plays today She fights just like my Guinea A little feistier each day One part angel; one velociraptor From snuggles to bitedowns And my heart is captured Trying out all of her teeth in this wonderful, big world... But I remember... Chorus We make it official today. I make a promise That I'll never go away. Watching her out in the yard Just staring at her She carefree stops and looks to me And I know she is sure. There's no way that I'm leaving this Beautiful Girl... And she comes racing over To give me... Chorus I couldn't ask The Gods for more, man, this is What love is And now I'll always remember... Every tail wag in the morning... And Doberman kisses at night. |
