Better Half

Sometimes the work-a-day world seems to be splitting me down the middle

Part of me wants to be a big success and the other part wants to play fiddle

Part of me wants to get drunk every night and float down a river of waste

Part of me is writing a symphony rhythmic and sweet to the taste

And it's true that I've slept in an alley or two but now I'm sleeping where I want to be

It took a better half like you to bring out the better half of me

I hear it from my single friends nowadays they say

What is it like in prison?

I raise an eyebrow look back at them and say

It feels like I'm finally living

One of my sides is still one of the guys and I don't have to bury the past
