Of travel I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.
I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart.
I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.
Come on boys, you must listen unto me, lay off the whiskey and let that cocaine be.
It makes me so mad that some people underestimate the wisdom and energy of young people. All because they don't look the way older folks think they should look. I'm working on a song about it. Maybe some of those closed minded people will realize long hair and tattoos don't mean they should be ignored. Close minded people are part of what's wrong with this world.

Saying, 'Good morning, John. You made it, John.' I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down. I'm thankful...

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
