Thumpin & Grumpin

Thumpin’ & Grumpin’

Someone is making way too much noise, son of a bitch I

stepped on one of my kids’ toys

Who is that driving way too fast down my road? I swear one

more time and I’m gonna explode

Went outside to holler and I stepped in fresh poop, on my

slides of course it ain’t the kind you can scoop

While I’m sittin’ here waitin’ on my baby to call, on my way

back in I missed a step and had a nasty fall

Sometimes when I have days like these

Simplest thing takes me to my knees

I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’

An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ &

grumpin’

Turn on the TV and news drives me mad, too many people die

and man that’s so sad

Guns and money, use one to get the other, shoot a stranger, hell

even shoot your brother

It gets me so angry I yell at the screen, hurling insults at

the bad people I get so obscene;

I stop and think for a minute and sadly realize, all this

anger ain’t much better than the bad guys

Sometimes when I have days like these

Simplest thing takes me to my knees

I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’

An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ &

grumpin’

I’m just going to take a minute to relax and chill

Ease my tensions and let everything be still

Just clear my mind and think of my special somethin’

That’s you babe, come on help me stop my thumpin’ &

grumpin’
