Spiritual Pursuit

(album: Normal As The Next Guy - 2001)

I've been trying for so many years
To find a meaning in this vale of tears
Sometimes it's lonely sometimes it's tough
Sometimes I wonder if I'm strong enough

But I'll keep on holding on
Gonna squeeze this life 'til the juice is gone
Gonna find the answers that you can't refute
Gonna live my live in a spiritual pursuit

Met a girl in gorman and it lit the torch
So we read the bible on her dad's front porch
All my prayers were answered as the flame was burnt
If her daddy finds out I'm gonna wish they weren't

But I'll keep on rolling on
No I'm never gonna stop until they carry me home
Sometimes temptation is blonde and cute
You meet all kinds in this spiritual pursuit

Trying to get to heaven takes a piece of discipline that I lack
It's long tough ride when you gotta decide on the keys to the kingdom or a shiny cadillac

As the days grow shorter and the lights grow dim
Will I see St. Peter wave a welcome in
Will I go to heaven only time will tell
But from now 'til then I'm gonna raise some hell

And I'll keep on rolling on
No I'm never gonna stop until they carry me home
From here to heaven is a long commute
Gonna take my time in this spiritual pursuit
