Following Through

It could a been good

It could a been something special

It may have had real potential

It never could show

It could a been great

It could been something alright

But we never did keep it that tight

So whaddya know

I get up at 5 am I so don't need those dreams

That I used to have

It could a been swell

It could a been off the hook now

If we ever had what it took now

I haven't a clue

I think it's as well

We may have been on the right track

Finding all the pieces we lack

But what can you do

Now I see that these are cards we drew some time ago

So if you don't know

I can do it anywhere with anyone

At anytime don't you forget

This is my life and it's going to be good

Don't you know

Not a promise or a threat or an ultimatum

Though I can do those too

I'm just telling you I've got this life

I've just got to live

I'm just following through

I dishonor the past

Being so loose with my time

I could stand accused of high crimes

In the court of the dead

And I could be next

On a page about to turn soon

So I'm movin' my ass at high noon

You heard what I said

I could say I hope I'm not misread

But that's all right

I'm quite okay with losing that fight

I can do it anywhere with anyone

At anytime don't you forget

This is my life and it's going to be good

Don't you know

Not a promise or a threat or an ultimatum

Though I can do those too

I'm just telling you I've got this life

I've got to live

I'm just following through
