Song for Carter
Journey Through Life's Lessons: Song for Carter by The Pollies
Lyrics
I met your mother when i was 16
I first met your mother at the age of 16.
with a pocket full of nothing and a car that wasn't clean
I had little material wealth and drove an unclean car.
she showed me things that i had never seen
She exposed me to experiences I hadn't encountered before.
she was always looking at the good looking boys
She was attracted to good-looking boys.
she stand in a corner and use them as toys
She would use them casually.
never did i watch and nor did i avoid
I neither actively observed nor avoided her actions.
She's always looking for friends in high times
She sought companionship during prosperous times.
and every time i think of her you still cross my mind
Thoughts of her still cross my mind.
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
Her affection wasn't enjoyable for me.
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
Reiteration: Her love was not something I could find pleasure in.
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
-I moved on out at the age of 18
I left home at 18 years old.
with a pocket full of nothing
I had little material wealth.
and nothing but a dream
All I had was a dream.
i would wash for a buck and i would fill in all the seems
I would work for a small amount and try to mend all the imperfections.
she was always working at that store on the hill
She worked at a store on the hill.
worried about nothing but a thing called a bill
Her concerns were centered around bills.
never did she lie and nor did she steal
She was honest and didn't resort to theft.
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
Reiteration: Her love was not something I could find pleasure in.
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
-but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
-we were all scared we didn't know where to start
We were uncertain and scared about where to begin.
we had you when we both were apart
We had you when we were not together.
with 2 broken families but plenty open hearts
We came from broken families but with open hearts.
son i tell you now that this life is real hard
I advise you, son, that life is tough.
and do what you do but don't ever fall apart
Do what you need to do but don't let yourself fall apart.
live how you live but don't ever stray too far
Live your life, but don't stray too far from the path.
