about

It WAS a hell of a year, wasn't it? But I'm strangely optimistic sometimes. Note to the uninitiated...includes one cuss word and one pithy political comment. It can't be helped, I'm afraid.

lyrics

DODGED A BULLET

People tell me tough times are coming,
People tell me tough times are here
I say I don’t need convincing
I think I’ve seen it all this year
Fate had one with my name on it this time
And he knew I had no place to hide
But I guess I just must’ve got lucky
I moved off to the side

I dodged a bullet this time, dodged a bullet this time
I say yeah, yeah, I dodged a bullet this time

Coulda been that I ate my oatmeal
Coulda been that I thought good thoughts
Coulda been someone’s smiling down on me
Coulda been that I didn’t get caught
The Man In Black is looking at me sideways
And I think that I can hear him say
“I got a lot of other things to do
You get a pass today”

I dodged a bullet this time, dodged a bullet this time
I say yeah, yeah, I dodged a bullet this time

I hear that the meteor missed us
So far, I haven’t caught the Plague
And those assholes didn’t take over the government
No, Satan, not today
Got some time to make things better
Out here in the land of the free
And any day that I’m waking up breathing
That’s a good day for me

I dodged a bullet this time, dodged a bullet this time
I say yeah, yeah, I dodged a bullet this time

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
