I Got Sick

I Got Real Sick One Time

'Bout drove My woman

Right Outta Her Mind

Yah, I Got Real Sick One Time

Drove All My Loved Ones

Outta there Minds

It started out with 'bout 7 days in Bed

Starin' at the Ceilin' goin' Outta My Head

I thought about All of My Life

All My Children - what's goin' on in their Lives

You Know I Thought About Livin'

I Dreamt About Dyin'

Didn't No if I Should Laugh

Or just Keep Cryin'

Spent many Hours on the Phone

Just Tryin' not to Feel Alone

20 weeks I was off Work

Wonderin' if they all thought I's a Jerk

My Brother Said it's a Crazy Thing

He's makin' up for All those Years of Silence

So Many Times I Felt the Sting

What's In Me - is it Really Science

I Remember Talkin' to My Sister One Day

I said the People at Church are so Much Better

She said Gary Here's the Way

I See it - One day we'll all come Together

You See - your Comparing Your Insides

To there Outsides, to There Outsides

You gotta think About what your Doin'

And Realize there Ain't No One you're Foolin'

On that Day I learned she wasn't So Dumb

All those People they Helped -

She helped them to See they were the One

All through the Pain and All those Years

Buryin' her Loses - Steppin' beyond her Fears

She Said Gary - your comparin' your Insides

With There Outsides

Only what they Show the World

Not within them what Turns and Stirs and Whirls

You Know - One time I got Really Sick

I could not Walk - Felt soooo Thick

You Know your Liver it's a wonderful Thing

But when it gives Up - it Leaves a Sting

It'll take ya weeks, fore you can walk the Block

And Your Life - It Will Rock

So if you ever find Yourself lookin' at the Ceiling

Remember what she said bout how I was Feeling

Your Comparin' Your Insides

To Their Out

Thank you Bonnie for all that You Said

It came me some Comfort from My Own Head

And now Years Later I look back at It

And I'm Happy with All a My Bits
