Jeff Martin - Danny lyrics

[Intro: Jeff Martin] Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah Uh Straight jacket, world wrapped around me This a game but will this game set me free And what a shame that I know It's got me in a trap Snap back, it's like that Restricted by these f**in' straps on straps They think that I'll attack but, man, I ain't like that Come on I'm sane, just let me explain I control this thing I'm wearin,' man, it's all in my brain Don't choose the life, don't choose the pirson Don't choose the way that I'm livin' It's not the things that I'm given It's just the things that I'm missin' [Verse 1: Jeff Martin] Danny was twelve when his mother sad suddenly pa**es away A drunk driver swerved right into a middle lane and k**ed her, that's what they say Danny never would think that this would all be over in a snap and then a wink Damn, how did this happen? The kids were jokin' and laughin' Attckin,' constantly lastin' and graspin' whatever happened And not a singular day could he go without gettin,' down The kids were kickin' and hittin' and pushin' him to the ground But the only thing that he wanted was to see his mom again So he turned right to the d** so that he could play pretend By fifteen, an addict, he'd got in a lot of sh** Gettin' in fights with dad and gettin' severely hit So Danny left the place he always had called his home He thought that he could make it all the way on his own Not knowin' where to go, he wasn't even a grown man He missed his mother and now he was gettin' sad Problem solved, now he had finally hit the bottle Sellin' d**, bein' homeless, he'd run away from his problems He didn't know how else to hide all his emotions With no devotion, he erupted just like a f**in' erosion And that's when Danny had a dream of his mother from up above So beautiful and so gentle just like a flying dove She said, "Son, you know what you are capable of This isn't the old Danny, the one that I always loved Now get your life together, Dan, pick yourself up Make yourself a man, you know that your time has come I know too soon I let go of your hand But I'll always be here with you, I'm still your number one fan Look into the past, try to understand Well mama's gotta' go, I love you so much Dan" Dan woke up and knew what had to be done He opened up his dresser and pulled out a pistol gun He co*ked it back Suicidal thoughts had begun Still the voices in his head he couldn't even outrun Feelin' that he failed as a singular son Put the throttle to his head, the battle wouldn't be won With the pull of a trigger, Dan's life would end In the note, he was happy to see his mother again Damn, he was happy to see his mother again Damn, damn, uh, yeah, see his mother again [Outro: Jeff Martin] See your life ain't bad Just think if you were Dan From now on make a goal to do wit' what you have Stop complainin' 'bout the money, stop complainin' 'bout your life that you livin' Just be happy that you live the life you're given Yeah, yeah, that you're given Just be happy that you live the life you're given Uh, yeah, that you're given Just be happy that you live the life you're given Yeah, thank you all Love life
