lyrics

It's all downhill till you get to the bottom
Then it's all uphill till you get to the top of the rock

There's a million ways to tell me I'm not living up to expectations
I am squandering all my opportunity
Talking all that tomfoolery

Tell me what it is you want from me my friend
Tell me what it is you think I should do instead
I may be a little crazy but it's my butter and bread

I bet one day you're gonna regret it
I bet one day I'll come to my sense
Life's so long when your're living in tenses
I think I just wrote me a life sentence

Tell me what it is you want from me my friend
Tell me what it is you think I should do instead
I may be a little crazy but it's my butter and bread

Laughter captures the general mood
Sadness strikes me from out of the blue
Down to the black and into the red
You left me for dead so you could lend me a hand

Tell me what it is you want from me my friend
Tell me what it is you think I should do instead
I may be a little crazy but it's my butter and bread

Tell me what it is you want from me my friend
Tell me what it is you think I should do instead
I may be a little crazy but it's my butter and bread

It's all downhill till you get to the bottom
Then it's all uphill till you get to the top of the rock

Mike Cavanaugh Boston, Massachusetts

I'm a singer/songwriter from Boston who met the Lord Jesus Christ at 29. My new full length studio album 'All that I Ever Did' is set to be released Friday April 19th which will tell my story. The album title comes from a Bible verse. After the women at the well encountered Jesus, her life changed forever and she went and told everyone, "Come and see a man who told me all that I ever did." ... more
