misting rain

Right place wrong time same story as ever before,
Misty rain coats my brand new hoodie,
Lights flood the field Friday night football,
Toddler in tow pre-teen walking talking with friends,
My high schooler sitting with the band all suited up.
Drumbeats sound much the same as before,
But now they know now they have been told,
Not gonna stress about that for now too much,
Too much on my heaping plate,
Gotta gain strength and momentum for the next wave.
There is disagreement about the cadence,
Music director trying to get technical on me,
That’s alright that’s o.k. keep playing and see,
See what happens when Nokomis decides to call in AIM,
Gonna have some real redskins in your house.
Its on you you been told don’t blame me,
Someone’s gonna have to show you how its done,
Don’t give me no crap about studying us back-in-the-day,
We been studying you from the very first,
Hairy light stinking strangers out of the east.
You play your role I’ll play mine its understood,
Gonna take some time gonna be a process,
So I’ll ride this wave tuck my knees wave my arms,
Do what I must to stay afloat to stay above the water,
Gonna keep on keeping on keep on living and enjoying.
This place gets so packed so many kids so many people,
Good kinda energy reminds me of my youth,
I’m sitting here breathing it all in and enjoying,
Possibilities so many possibilities and we’re all here,
Having fun poking fun watching the football game.
