Ain't the End of Me
by Tim G. Young
Moonlight over my shoulder
Brake lights in front of me
Headlights glare on the other side
And life won't let me be
Running down these broken lines
I hear the highway roar
While I'm stuck with these sounds
Inside my head
And just can't take no more
But even if the truth
Never sets me free
I'll know this ain't the end of me
Later when I drink my beer
Step back to touch my face
Feelin' like a merry-go-round
Still standing in one place
The night flies by
I ain't gonna cry
But even when I wish I could
The things you did
Make me wonder why
How I ever felt this good
But even if the truth
Never sets me free
I'll know this ain't the end of me

This is lyric to a brand new song. I uploaded an iPhone demo over at Soundcloud so you can get the whole picture, more or less!

Thank you, James.
"Make me wonder why

I especially admire this construction in context. It jars a bit and works well to total effect, to me.
I appreciate that. Thanks, Dianne.
Good sense of hope here. Enjoyed.
Yes! Thanks, Sam.
Gotta love that resilient heart.
thanks so much, Matt!
Excellent. Two things: I'd change I'd get rid of "it" in line 9. For a cleaner sound.Line 14--take out "I" for same reason. You continue to Wow us, brother. Great stuff!
Many thanks, Darryl!
You had me with you with the very first line. *
Oh Beate, you're the best!
