The Bug
A simple song about wanting the things that you gave up and ignoring the ones you got…

I have the bug
and it is worse than any drug
pulsing down every nerve
I just can’t unplug
pulls me back in, throws me back out
makes me yearn to be on the other side
it is shredding me from within
and I just can’t hide.
I was in love once
but all I wanted was to play the field
to the lock on my heart
give no one the key
now standing here in this bar
with every type and kind
with the hottest ones, one can find
and all I can think of
is the warm smile and the tight hug
from the woman I once loved
my grave of sorrow so well I have dug
I have this bug
And it is worse than any drug
pulsing down every nerve
I just can’t unplug.
I was free once
living without a care in the world
I was going so easy, blithe, and loose
the lifestyle of the Gods
that only a wise man could choose
but I got the smell of money
and what comes with it
all that comfort and oh that honey
I climbed, I climbed, I climbed so high
now sitting in this Bentley in this ten-thousand-dollar suit
how I yearn to run free
walk the Earth, without any worries, without any root
this bug pulls me in, throws me back out
makes me yearn to be on the other side
it is shredding me from within
and I just can’t hide.
I was a kid once
every thing was exciting and new
every day was a present
no fights would last for more than a minutes few
but all I wanted was to grow up
do the big things, make the big calls
now that I am big and old
all I wanna do is go back
and be that innocent kid again
the present why do I disdain
I wanna be that innocent kid once again.
I have the bug
no matter where I am
someplace else I wish to be
I am my own jailor
so how can I ever be happy
how can I ever be free?
