Still Got the Cat

(Verse 1) Life’s been kicking me down again, Bills stack high, got nowhere to stand. Turn on the news, it’s the same old fight, Feels like the world's lost all its light. (Verse 2) Lost my job, my car broke down, Friends moved on, no one's around. Even my coffee’s cold today, Guess that’s just how life’s gonna play. (Chorus) But I still got the cat, still got those purrs, Still got those eyes that see through the hurt. When the whole damn world is falling apart, At least I got a furball curled up on my heart. (Verse 3) The landlord's knocking, rent’s overdue, I swear my phone just gave up too. But there’s a tail flicking in my view, Reminding me, “Hey, we’ll make it through.” (Solo – full of bluesy sorrow but with a hint of hope) (Bridge) Maybe I ain't got fortune, maybe I ain't got fame, But I got a tiny tiger who loves me just the same. And when the night feels cold and long, A little meow says, "You're not alone." (Chorus – with more emotion) Yeah, I still got the cat, still got those purrs, Still got those eyes that cut through the blur. Let the whole damn world just crumble and crash, At least I got a friend who don’t care ‘bout cash. (Outro – soft, reflective) So let the rain fall, let the dark clouds stay, As long as I got you, I’ll find my way. Yeah, life’s still rough, and that’s a fact... But at least I still got the cat.
