Just an accoustic I wrote and performed with Dan Sleeps Queen B 4 string cigar box guitar tuned to E ,live with no rehearsal as always.....livin on the edge,...sorry, gang ,tried to change thumbnail multiple times... sorry...lol.

Waiting for Monday Morn

Feeling stretched to my limits
Feeling right and feelin wrong
Sometimes I feel a little twisted
As I sit and sing my song
Stepping lightly through the mine field
Still fighting the good fight
Seems like something strange is brewing
Getting hard to sleep at night

Chorus

But I sit and count my blessings
These broken crowns I will adorn
I will try to breathe easy
Waiting for Monday Morn

I can’t lose my optimism
Cause I need to keep it light
I must tell myself
It’s gonna be alright
Lately the anchors are pullin
As I’m bending from the weight
As I take it as it’s dealt
And just pay the going rate

Chorus
One more time I get my boots on
Heading out to let it roll
I can change only so much
So I reach inside my soul
I keep on climbing upward
Looking to a better place
One thing thats never changing
And that’s the smile on my face
Chorus (Repeat Twice)
