Billy Mick - Take It As It Comes Lyrics

Daddy up and left when I was just twelve
Didn't mind though life with him was hell
Everybody thought life was gonna fall apart
But I knew then it was only the start

Gotta take like as it comes
Some people stick it out some are still on the run
Some it aint easy some of its fun
But whatever the hell happens gotta take it as it comes

Daddy did a lot a drugs he tried to kill his wife
Always was a runner all of his life
Felt sorry for my mama with her broken heart
But I knew then it was only the start

Mama left alone with two mouths to feed
Nothing on his mind but his foolish greed
Living her life for everybody else
Put herself in a box and away on a shelf

Mama picked herself up forgive and forget
Nothing on his mind but his dumb regret
Always living his life with pain strain and strife
Beat himself up and dropped out on life

Many years have passed hard feelings are gone
But the memories in my mind they live on and on
Gotta learn from the past if you wanna make a start
I got where I am today by listening to my heart.
