I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW words & music bill mallonee 2020
published by "Once More, This Time With Feeling" Music. BMI c.2020

I suppose it couldn't last; outcomes can be delayed
and the tables are surely turned when you look the other way

I was trying, just trying to live a little more on the bright side
Hope is a friend...but sometimes drifting...and her smile it is elusive.

Took to the road; Took to the streets
I wrote it in the sky for everyone to see
You roll your eyes; You shake your head
You're not listening & it shows but I wanted you to know...

You sharp fedora-ed Bodhisattva; Ah, you little Aztec king
your eyes brimming full of kindness
"Truck-chita" skidding Sunday gravel

Took to the road; Took to the street
I wrote it in the sky for everyone to see
You check your phone just like a tomb
You're not listening & it shows but I wanted you to know...

Took to the road; Took to the street
I wrote it in the sky for everyone to see
You check your phone
Just like a tomb
You're not listening & it shows but I wanted you to know...
Took to the road

Takes a little courage, takes a little faith.
Sweetheart let's get to the bright side
