STILL KICKIN? ( 9/11)
words and music by Eliot Osborn

INTRO
Dum dum dum dum dee dum dum deedle-y Dum dum dum dum dee dum
For givin? this all I got sure made a mess of it
But even if it ain?t goin? so hot gotta get up and make the best of it gotta get up
So long as the sun comes up So What So what if I?m hurtin?
And even if I aint makin enough least I?m still workin

and I am
CHORUS I
Tired and achin? This close to bacon but I aint quittin?...and if I?m not mistakin? I?m
Beaten and battered but it doesn?t matter That?s just the way that it goes
And I?m doin all right I s?pose... Cuz I?m still
Kickin... I?m still kickin Kickin it

INTRO

VERSE
Ain?t the winter just draggin? on... can?t say as I love it
No I really don?t know what?s wrong.... but? I?m tryin? .... to rise above it
Feel lucky still breathin? ... after September
Just give me somethin? to believe in ... and I will not surrender

Cuz I?ve been
CHORUS II
Caught in the jungle I?ve tripped and stumbled That aint nothin?... I?m a survivor
Flat on my face and I have felt out of place but that?s just a day in a life
And I must be doin all right.... Cuz I?m still
Kickin? I?m still kickin? Kickin it

Solo...

CHORUS III
And I am...
Lost in the crowd and I am cryin out loud and I?ve been a victim of my own behavior
Given up for dead and I have hung by a thread.... but if you thought I?d just dissapear
Hey looky-here...

I?m still kickin? Kickin? it I?m still kickin? Kickin? it
