Salesman of the Year
He's got the wife, the house, the car
High school All Star quarterback
could have any girl he'd want
Married young with the girl next door
His friends all say
What could you want more?
Your life is truly blessed
But every night when they're all asleep
He goes to his garage
Opens up a bottle of Old No. 7, in the car
He says: Is really life worth living
When you're not living it at all?
As he slowly loads
the chambers in his gun
Mother of the Year
puts on a smile and wakes the kids
Waffles in the shape of hearts
like the youngest daughter wished
A kiss goodbye and then out the door
Her friends all say
What could you want more?
Your life is truly blessed
But every night when they're all asleep
The bathroom door's ajar
Her tears silently falling
in the water, in the tub
She says: Is really life worth living
When you're not living it at all?
As she slowly moves
the razor up her arm
One day they will go through with it
One day they will be free
Missed by friends and missed by work
and mourned by family
But the higher up the narrow path
it really doesn't take that much to fall
But is really life worth living?
