A Guitar and A Smile On My Face © Ed Francis 2022 BMI, (310) 918-5884 EdFrancis2004@aol.com

Life is strange - no doubt
I’ll start with that fact
From the day we are born,
Til we’re flat on our back

We all do our best
To survive the good fight
Stepping into life’s ring
With gloves tied-on tight

CHORUS
I don’t have many toys
I don’t own any place
But, I’ve got my guitar
And a smile on my face

Not sure why I jumped
From one job to the next
When I’m trapped in a cube
It’s like taking a test

Don’t know why I moved
From one love to the next
All that preening and pecking
Made me fly from the nest

CHORUS
I don’t have many toys.
I don’t own any place
But, I’ve got my guitar,
So, check out my face


The biggest factor in all of my life
I’m easily bored – the restless type
Starting in school
They called my answers a joke
I couldn’t stop dreaming
Had to let my mind float
I have studied so many
Their pain and their needs
My cure is my music
Roaming free is my creed

CHORUS
I don’t have many toys.
I don’t own any place
But, in the last 3 seconds,
I’ll have a smile on my face

In the last 3 seconds,
My guitar by my side,
I’ll have a great, big smile, on my face
