Pictures of My Pocket
© 2009 Alan Ross Haynes
Verse 1: My cell phone’s taking pictures of my pocket
I wish that I could find a way to lock it
It’s clear I’m not a scientist of rockets
‘Cause my cell phone’s taking pictures of my pocket
Verse 2: I can’t see the numbers on my remote
I can’t read the letter I just wrote
I blow up my music just to see the notes
I’m not sure this is the right remote
Verse 3: I forget to save things on computer
Especially when I’ve been drinking shooters
My text goes down the tube like rotor-rooter
When I forget to save things on computer
Verse 4: My memory’s not doing all that great
My mind sometimes goes to another state
My learning curve is way outside the plate
My whatchacallit’s not doin’ great


Verse 5: I can’t remember where I was drivin’
I guess maybe I’ll know when I’m arrivin’
My GPS is the reason I’m survivin’
I sure hope it knows where I was drivin’
(Repeat First Verse)
