Live By Your Word

© 2011 by Eric Dahl

Got a friend, he’s a car mechanic
Says fixing broke-down cars is not his niche
There are so many mechanics
and he’s not trying to get rich.
He’s an honest man, that’s a lifelong position
His niche is being an honest mechanic
He says there’s no competition.

These are some broke-down days
In case you haven’t heard.
Gonna get confused and lost in the maze
Unless you live by your word.

Came here looking for a job,
stranger said she’d get me on track.
When she called with work, I was so grateful and surprised
She said, “Did you think
I wouldn’t call back?”
I said, “Maybe I’m not used to
people doing what they say.”
She said, “In these parts
you better do what you promise
Or you have to move away.”

These are some broke-down days —

The way you waited to attack
until I’d given all I’ve given
And the way you went blank
as you knifed me in the back
Are the true signs of the times we live in.

These are some broke-down days
In case you haven’t heard.
Gonna get confused and lost in the maze
Unless you live by your word.
