Life Go's On

Jennifer Pettit 1969 (Kingwood)

As I walk down
A gravel road.
I'm wondering if there was
Something better than this?
I don't know
What to do?
I see the tree's swaying
In the wind.
I want to feel
Free like the tree's.
It's hard to
Love someone that
Don't appreciate you.
It's hard to trust
Them for the
Way they are.
So I walk on this
Gravel road.
Trying to figure out
What I'm going to do
If I'm going
To stay or go.
