ALL IN By Tom Jensen
When she said her cell phone was on
“I’m too far gone” was my response
I just might tell you something
I’ve mentioned a time or two before
How a meeting in the middle
Might really be a step forward
But I don’t push it…
Nah, I don’t go there…
Since there’s so much at stake
I hesitate as I pull back in fear
So there I go painting myself into a corner
Looks like I’m in for one long afternoon
Lately I been feeling like a musician
Every instrument I touch is outta tune
I went for a long walk in the sun
Far away from everyone
With just my music,
My past and my soul
A big book of poems
And a head full of dreams
That are beyond my control
All this blue sky and sunshine
Hasn’t been wasted on me
While some might say I’m past my prime
I guess they’re not seeing the same picture as me…
Since I try to get a little better with every day I live
My best day shall be my last on this earth
I don’t mind being taken once I’ve got nothing useful to give
Once I lose my value and my sense of self-worth
Until that day…
Don’tcha know that I’m in it to win it…
Yeah, I’m all in…all the way!
