And Cancellations

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

fine lines

and cover-ups

free time

and pickup trucks

bad rhymes

just short on luck

sweet limes

in whiskey cups

soft eyes

and ornery grins

tongue tied

chances are slim

rolled dice

aces with twins

sounds nice

run while you can

flashin' smiles

and troubled times

flashin' lights

are close behind

change up lanes

or change your mind

please, explain

why you're in a bind

ya stop fast

then you rewind

I'm a mile past

leavin' you behind

it's the same story

the same old lines

you're history

better say goodbye

had a good thing

and let it go

some country singin'

for a closed out show

nobody's listening

on the radio

guess you've been cancelled

and you didn't know

washed up

and washed away

save your glow up

for another day

I'm just too tired

to play this game

I'm uninspired

and you're kinda lame
