PICTURE PERFECT

If I had money I'd send for you
We'd have all them things people want
A big house, white fence, things to flaunt 
But for now this is what we got

One day we'll take a picture together 
But for now this one will have to do
One day we'll take one together 
One before the nights through 

I been trying, working to find work
I'd take any job, you know the ones
Where people make you out to be a jerk
Where the line is thin between saints and sinners
The difference is clear amidst momma's boys and drifters, I'd take that walk for you
As for now unemployment will have to do, we'll make due

One day we'll take a picture together 
But for now this one will have to do
One day we'll take one together 
One more before the nights through 

Last night I thought of you
And of all the things I would do
Just to have you with me
All the things that could be, something new, one more dream 
Just one more before the nights through

One day we'll take a picture together 
But for now this one will have to do
One day we'll take one together 
Last one before the nights through

Great lyrical piece Anthony.  

Oh how we keep mentally chasing that one day and often fail to get around to physically chasing it and then it slips away (well, in my experience anyway)

All the best in the contest. :)
