I'LL SWING WITH EVERYTHING THAT I'VE GOT words & music: bill mallonee (admin BMI 2014)
With a suitcase full of blues and a notebook full of secrets most of 'em I'd say are pretty dark And that plot of dusty earth? that one over-grown with weeds? Well, that dirt lot is a lonely heart
chorus When it comes to fates & furies? It's hard to get on base when yer playing every game in their park Ah, but ever since my eyes beheld your beauty & your grace I'll swing with everything that' I've got
There was a hall I'd frequent on New York Friday nights to buy a beer & dance away the blues To laugh out loud with friends and wink at all the ladies and maybe even steal a kiss or two
Now, they say life's a game and most are bound to lose because the deck has been stacked from the start But lately, i've been wondering if life is what you give away and what could more precious than your heart?
There's a story that I'm writing Would you help me hold the pen? On every page you will shine just like a star And if that deck is stacked? We'll just laugh & leave the table And leave the dealer all alone there in the dark
