Prologue and Preamble

Tumbling down and catching up
     while cashing in and clocking out,
We can fall behind together
     and forget to get ahead

So give your horse his head
Cover my back--I'll lend a hand.
And, though I may have 2 left feet,
     on my 2 legs I can stand

So I'll grant an extra ince
If I can follow you a mile.

'Cause through a million faces frowning,
I can always find your smile

And I know that while I'm laughing,
I won't have to see you cry

Though you may try to take the low road,
I'll keep calling from the high.

So we can wear it, if the shoe fits--
We have tried on many hats.
And we'll never mind the turncoats
     stealing shirts off of our backs.

I'd buy them for a dollar,
     but a penny for your thoughts--
You tell me, "Money can't buy happiness,
          which I've already got."
