Proud to be an american 2/21/2008

I have to close my eyes
to keep from seeing you take
all the things I have given
to you that you now forsake

I have to find red haired women
to keep from getting blue
even though I know they go
100 miles an hour right through you

I have to go backwards
to keep in front of you
always relegated
never gaining or starting new

I want to just be
and need not rhyme anymore
for this strain is not worth it
and I am walking out your door.
