Scratch my back

Scratch my back Some days seem, to be full of rain and just drag on forever You pound your head and search your mind for something clever To erase the hopelessness which has taken up residence in your mind If you’d only be able to open your eyes, there’d be a chance you could find Validity to keep you going, running full speed ahead into your latest endeavor Sometimes you feel like the whole world treats you like a bitch Annoying you worse than that spot in your back you can’t itch Run those long pretty nails across me mama, scratch my back And then I’ll scratch yours, and honey we’ll be on the right track Sometimes even your friends seem to make you want to scream Crawl under the covers, close your eyes, pretend it’s a bad dream You have had your share of downs, been a part of too many bad deals But do you remember baby, the man who drives the rusty set of wheels? Sing a happy tune as the two of us blaze along following the headlight beam Sometimes you feel like the whole world treats you like a bitch Annoying you worse than that spot in your back you can’t itch Run those long pretty nails across me, mama scratch my back And then I’ll scratch yours, and honey we’ll be on the right track We might scuffle a bit here and there, hit a pothole or two But when the dust has settled baby, I’ll still be loving you So, you just run those pretty nails across me mama, scratch my back And then I’ll scratch yours and honey we’ll be on the right track Scratch my back Tim Windisch 09/16/2021
