NOTICE ME

Words and Music by Danny Oertli ' 3/92

Well I've been driving all night and I'm feeling allright
I drown my troubles inside of this can
Things are out of focus on the road and in my life
I'm just an average guy on an average high
trying to soak up the fun while it's there
And don't tell me mom's waiting up cause I don't care

I left the house at four but now it's probably one
But I can't find my watch to tell
All I can hear is my fathers voice
Tellin' me I'm on the road to hell

But I'm not the one you think I am
I'm not the deviance from your plan
I'm trying to get both of you to see
The love starved boy inside of me...

I know the clothes are strange and you don't like my hair
But it's gets me some attention so I don't care
It doesn't matter much now any way
You used to be around when we moved to this town
But now you don't have time for me
It's just your daily dose of righteousness
Your reprobating looks at us
Oh why can't you just let it be

I know I may be trouble now and then
But it sure wasn't long ago
You and dad held close in your arms
And said that you'd never let me go

But I'm not the one you think I am
I'm not the deviance from your plan
I'm trying to get both of you to see
The love starved boy inside of me...

Well the lights aren't on but I know that Your home
You'll be waiting for me in the dark
You'll have your lines all rehearsed expecting the worst
So you can finish before I even start
You'll tell me how I'm wrong and then you'll tell me how your right
And just as I'm about to go

I'll turn myself around and look you in the eye
And tell you I know, I know, I know

I've been trying to tell every way I could
But I just can't seem to find
The words to tell you how I feel
When your leaving me behind

I'm not the one you think I am
I'm not the deviance from your plan
I'm trying to get you both to see
The love starved boy inside of me
