Just One More

My mind is trav’lin’ elsewhere 
I don’t know what to do 
I’ve got three days to finish 
Come up with something new
Life’s full of these distractions
They just get in the way
I start another project 
Songs come another day

But the finish line is coming
Will I cross it and succeed?
If I put the pen to paper
Will the words come, those I need?

The melody comes later
The words are all that count
No instrument can play it
That’s a task I must surmount
I try a diff’rent rhyme scheme
It all still sounds the same
If I can’t get this out there
No longer in the game

But I stare, the clock is ticking
Every second fading fast
Why a month with so few days left?
Just not sure I’m going to last

But I’ve noticed that I’ve written
Verses, bridges and they rhyme
Music’s bug has once more bitten
Got one more before it’s time
