Maybe Not
This is a song about Homer Joy - a criminally underrated songwriter in the country-music genre, who wrote the hit song "Streets of Bakersfield," and a whole lot of other songs. Though it's also generally about a man who led a troubled life and tried hard to walk a straight and narrow path. Like so many of us, sometimes he stayed on it, sometimes he veered off.

Lord, what's a good man
What keeps him laughin'
You see his feet movin'
That don't mean he's dancin'
Maybe he's ramblin'
Could be he's pickin'
But probably he's writin'
'Bout the effects of hard livin'
Do you all turn to Jesus
And do you pray to do good
Still find yourself wanderin'
Not doin' what you should
Did you raise solid sons
Did you love on your daughters
While boys might be like you
Girls think you walk on water
(Chorus)
When there's only 12 chords to ever be played
And reasons to sit down, but you can't stay in place
When you know what to say, still can't give it a voice
For others, an option; for you, it's no choice
Maybe Jesus, he might understand
The plight of the tormented man
And the joy and the trouble he's wrought...
But maybe not
Do you only see the blue
When you stare at the sea
Is it only white noise
When the birds start to sing
Do your memories paint
A joyful bright past
Do you accept forgiveness
Or grab stones to cast
(Chorus)
