What did i do with my time

What did i do with my time on earth?

What did i do?

I spent most of my teen life chasing after woman

Got them pregnant with kids i could not feed

Got a job the salary i had could not help

Went straight to the bank to borrow money i did not have

Got to buy thinks i did not need

Forgot things i should have thought about

I even started drinking money i did not have

Then i got old

Asked myself "what did i do with my time"

Where did i go wrong?

Wanted to go back to where it all started

Funny i never got the answer

I could only get more questions then answers

What did i do with my time?

All my friends were married

Other were married for the second time

Kids growing

People talking

What did i really do?

I did what i was not here to do

That is to look at fruitful things i did not need

Like having babies at a younger age

Drinking beer i did not need

Instead of being at church on Sunday

I was at the bar trying to stop the headache.

I did nothing with my time
