there are Grey clouds in the sky

and these movements hurt

but I will not quit

I have made another song

while I make a point of not bleeding

and I have the tools for the job

and I will not quit

I have traveled many turns

took care of what I needed to and

brought home the meal

once I put it in the heat

and give it a moment

While I growl to clear

the yard of debris

yet I will not quit

I have a sharp ax

for tomorrow

and a good sunrise to look

at my face as I rise

and complete the

tasks which I ache by

but I will not quit

lots of scrapes or scars

are OK as long as

the fuel is there and

the dueling is completely done

a little whiskey to the head

and a sunset appreciation

while I will not quit
