Workin' Real Hard at Forgivin'

This is the first song I wrote after I bought my guitar in August, 2010. Until then my only music experience was playing in a California band fresh out of high school, except - I did own some equipment back in the mid-'90's for about 2.5 years.

Workin’ Real Hard at Forgivin’.table
Copyright: 2010 by Keith Birmingham

Well, I’ve come a long way in the past year or so,
But, I’ve still got no reason to smile.
And, learnin’ to live like a free man again,
Well, it’s something that just takes awhile.

CHORUS:
I’m just workin’ real hard at forgettin’
About the bad things that’s happened to me.
I’m just workin’ real hard at forgivin’
The one’s that have done them to me

And, the passing of time still brings no sign
Of what my future will be
But, I’ve made a new start in a place far away
From the things that were killing me.

CHORUS:
I’m just workin’ real hard at forgettin’
About the bad things that’s happened to me.
I’m just workin’ real hard at forgivin’
The one’s that have done them to me.

And, the future is not what I’m after.
 I’m just living from day to day.
I’m not searching for all of the answers.
I’m just living from day to day.


CHORUS:
I’m just workin’ real hard at forgettin’
About the bad things that’s happened to me.
I’m just workin’ real hard at forgivin’
The one’s that have done them to me.
