Bungled My Life

I bungled my life in the service of others

Betrayed by those I helped my sisters and brothers

Told by those I loved that I smothered

It’s a wonder I recovered,

I bungled my life thinking I did what was right

No arms to hold me tight

At times there was no hope in sight

Nothing changes when you’re high as a kite,

I bungled my life but I wouldn’t change a thing

Can’t even find my old wedding ring

Don’t even remember all those tears that sting

Living by the grace of God without any strings,

I bungled my life

In the midst of all this strife

Memories that cut like a knife

Bungled my life trying to hang onto a wife,

Bungling my life I can’t take back

Just trying to operate in the black

Enjoying an occasional snack

Staying a step ahead of the wolf pack,

When finally I’m done

From being under the gun

Just let my spirit run

Bungling your life is really no fun.
