Life’s A Struggle
My brother Tom was playing a song a number of years back and I thought it sounded pretty good. I asked him....Hey Bro.....where did you hear that one. He looked at me a little puzzled and said ......You wrote it.......It is one of his favorite and this is for him and his son Jeff.

I remember stories he would tell
He taught about life and he taught it so well
He spoke of beggars and kings And the best of all things
Be wise cause wisdom sets a man free
Life’s a struggle like a small child’s dream
You got a woman’s love and don’t know what it means
She’s soft to the touch and mellow like wine
And she loves her Burley man….oh…… she loves her burley man
As he spoke his eyes grew dim
He whispered son love comes from within
My songs will live on ……...in the soul of you
Be wise cause wisdom sets a man free
You can hear him singing in my song
When I sing about right when I about wrong
When I sing about beggars and kings and the best of all things
I sing be wise cause wisdom sets a man free
Life’s a struggle like a small child’s dream
You got a woman’s love and don’t know what it means
She’s soft to the touch and mellow like wine
And she loves her Burley man….oh…… she loves her burley man
