My Old Crummy Life. Lyrics/music: D. Bernal

Some Days
I get to missing her… Feel like kissing her
When I know I’m better off with what I’ve found
It seems strange, because life was so rough then
But I miss the struggle
The feeling we may not make it out.

Makin’ every dollar
Last as long as a dollar could… (In our hands it did)
We could almost stretch it… To the next check
And every now and then we would.
I don’t miss the pain
I don’t miss the broke
But I miss how close we were
When both of them combined
Wonder to this day
After carrying such a heavy load

Why we left it all behind
And I miss… my old crummy life.

(I recall) that night,
When you said “take me out, just like couples do
To a fancy dinner, and a show.”
I put the card down on some three-dollar wine
From Ralph’s on Riverside
And peeled the label so you wouldn’t know
The speakers up on a milk crate
The traffic louder than the radio
While we were dancing, I think we burned the rice
But I wouldn’t trade that dinner for all the caviar in world…

After all of the trips and falls
Baby we could always find a way to work it out.
(Yeah, we’d work it out)
And often times I’d fantasize
Of another life without you
Now all my thoughts are about you…

So here we are together
You in your veil, I’m in my tie
And though it may be years til we meet again
There may be hope in death
Where it was lost in life.

Just Dave Band Los Angeles, California

Hi, Just Dave here. OK, here's the deal, here at Just Dave Band we don't have 'fans', only friends who like to hear our music. I work hard on stage, I crack jokes, I put my life stories into my tunes, and try to support a family playing and selling my original music. (and I try to keep the guys in my band busy, too!)
