Lovely Mess
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2020, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP

If you want to find me, I’ll be at my grinding stone
It’s where I make a little something for my own
Can’t say I really mind that each day’s a bit the same
I just want to leave a good mark on my name
Sure, I’ve laid all my cards out on the table
And I’m neck deep but ready and able
We’re all in it, yes, you’re in it, too

And if I’m honest, I really must confess
I find the whole affair to be a lovely mess

Each and every day I’m behind the plow
I’ve got mouths I need to feed some way, some how
I’m no man’s judge, I’m no man’s jury
I harbor no blame, harbor no fury
But it’s plain to see there’s too many kings, too many thrones
And hearts turning to stone
We’re all in it, yes, you’re in it, too

But if I’m honest, I really should confess
I find the whole affair to be a lovely mess
