Thumpin’ & Grumpin’
Someone is making way too much noise, son of a bitch I
stepped on one of my kids’ toys
Who is that driving way too fast down my road? I swear one
more time and I’m gonna explode
Went outside to holler and I stepped in fresh poop, on my
slides of course it ain’t the kind you can scoop
While I’m sittin’ here waitin’ on my baby to call, on my way
back in I missed a step and had a nasty fall
Sometimes when I have days like these
Simplest thing takes me to my knees
I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’
An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ &
grumpin’
Turn on the TV and news drives me mad, too many people die
and man that’s so sad
Guns and money, use one to get the other, shoot a stranger, hell
even shoot your brother
It gets me so angry I yell at the screen, hurling insults at
the bad people I get so obscene;
I stop and think for a minute and sadly realize, all this
anger ain’t much better than the bad guys
Sometimes when I have days like these
Simplest thing takes me to my knees
I try to clear my mind and think of my special somethin’
An image of my babe in my mind stops my thumpin’ &
grumpin’
I’m just going to take a minute to relax and chill
Ease my tensions and let everything be still
Just clear my mind and think of my special somethin’
That’s you babe, come on help me stop my thumpin’ &
grumpin’
