Big Bob Young: Music

Best of a Bad Situation

(Big Bob Young)
INSPIRATION; this song was just for fun. I never really came home to find my belongings in the yard, but I have been through my share of break-ups due in large part to the strain being a musician puts on a relationship.

LYRICS:
Best of a Bad Situation

Came slippin’ home late last night it was almost dawn
Oh but what a shock I got when my headlights hit the lawn
There was everything I owned stacked neatly in the yard
With a note pinned to my guitar that said this time you’ve gone too far

CH I’ve got to make the best of a bad situation
Now that I think about it I don’t need the aggravation
When the cat’s away the mouse can play some
I’ve got to make the best of a bad situation

Freedom is a funny thing now I’ve got all I need
But all I do is call her up and cry and beg and plead
Asking her can I come home she says no way son
She made the best of a bad situation

CH She made the best of a bad situation
Now that I think about it she didn’t need the aggravation
I guess I always knew this day would come
She made the best of a bad situation
Oh she made the best of a bad situation
