Satisfied
(Mikel K Musik)

Well, sometimes, it tastes bitter,
but she keeps me satisfied.
I could probably look around,
and find better,
but she keeps me satisfied.
I might be settling for less,
but she keeps me satisfied.

If you got what you need,
why look for more?
When you already bought your groceries,
why go back to the store?
When you packing a pistol,
is there any need to carry a knife?

I got a letter from the dating service,
saying that they got a girl for me.
How can that be, I already got a girl
that keeps me satisfied.

I'm satisfied.
I'm satisfied.
She cooks me dinner at leat once a week,
and when she's getting ready for bed,
she sometimes gives me a peek.

If you got what you need,
why look for more?
When you already bought your groceries,
why go back to the store?
When you packing a pistol,
is there any need to carry a knife?

Yeah, I'm satisfied.
I'm satisfied,
that woman used to drive me out of my mind,
but we're both getting old,
hell, I'm almost blind,

but I'm satisfied,
yes, I'm satisfied.
I surely am satisfied.
If you got what you need,
why look for more?
When you already bought your groceries,
why go back to the store?
When you packing a pistol,
is there any need to carry a knife?

I like people who tell the truth

I like it when songs are real, and singers tell the truth.
I like it when a man says if you give him your vote,
that he will look out for your interests, and he means it.
I like it when my waitress smiles at me,
and makes me feel like she is glad to see me.

I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.



I like it when my mechanic doesn't
try to screw me over when fixing my car.
I like it when the deejay shuts up
on the radio, and mostly plays songs.
I like it when someone believes in God,
and they are not putting a collection plate in front of my face.
I love a love story with a happy ending,
especially when it's between you and me.



I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.



I like it when my children come to see me,
and it's not a recognized holiday.
I like it when my dog wants to bark,
but he shuts up because I tell him to.
I like it when the mailman brings mail,
that is not going to cost me anything.
I like it when the van brings the man
selling ice cream. Ring a ding ding.


I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.



I like it when people talk about Revolution,
and they don't mean one that will be bloody.
I like it when politicians do things for the people,
though I know it's not their golden rule.
I like it when the guy or gal at the grocery store
smiles at me like I am somebody.


I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.


I like it when I hold the door for you,
and I like it when you hold the door for me.
I like it when I hold my hand off the horn,
when I feel like laying on it because of you.
I like the idea of love, and I haven't quit wishing
that it will come true for you and me.
I like ice cream sundaes, made the old fashioned way,
like they were, when I was a kid.


I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like people who tell the truth.

I like the way I feel right now,
writing this song down, and
I'm going to like the way that I feel
when you are listening to it.

I like straight shooters,
and I like people who tell the truth.

Leave your mind alone
and just get high.
Leave your mind alone,
and just get by,
on information that they
won't give you.

You fought for it,
you bought it with your time.
Your mind told you
that it was important,
thought they told you
that it wasn't so.

Keep moving on

You got a little hair on your face;
in a fancy place they might not serve you dinner.
You're hair is kind of long; most places won't hire you,
but you don't say that something's wrong;
you just keep doing what your doing,
having faith in The Lord, as you keep on moving on.

Keep on moving on.
Keep on moving on.
Have faith in The Lord;
can't be nothing wrong
if you keep on moving on,
if you keep on having faith in The Lord.

Women keep telling you no.
All you want to do is to sit down,
and have a cup of coffee, talk a little bit.
She don't like the amount of money that you make,
the fact that you ride a bicycle instead of a car.
She don't believe that, one day,
you're going to be a superstar.

Keep on moving on.
Keep on moving on.
Have faith in The Lord;
can't be nothing wrong
if you keep on moving on,
if you keep on having faith in The Lord.

They told you a long time ago
that you could never do what you do now.
I guess you made the impossible come true.
All it took was a little perseverance,
and the ability to tune out those telling you no,
you can't do it, it won't get done,
why don't you settle down, and get a job,
like everyone else.


Keep on moving on.
Keep on moving on.
Have faith in The Lord;
can't be nothing wrong
if you keep on moving on,
if you keep on having faith in The Lord.

They also told you that you would never find love,
and for the longest time you agreed.
There were an awful lot of no's until you found the one
who could look inside you.
Now you've got a family of your own,
and you never tell your kids no.



Keep on moving on.
Keep on moving on.
Have faith in The Lord;
can't be nothing wrong
if you keep on moving on,
if you keep on having faith in The Lord.
