Not really rock, not really folk, not really country, not really pop, just music.

Story behind the song
This song reflects my attitude concerning the music business. I have nothing but respect for music, but I have little to no respect at all for business.
Lyrics
I'll Be Fine ©Shannon Morris 1998 And if I got up and went somewhere Found myself soaring through waves of air I hope someday I would come around To get my feet back down on the ground I don't know if I'll see what I like But I know I'm gonna like what I'll be And I'll be fine if nobody ever knows about me Some day I never want to be a big success Gettin' blowjobs from the press I'm just happy to spend my time Singing a song with a simple rhyme I don't know what I'm trying to do But I noticed you're a little lost too And I'll be fine if the last one ever found is me Some write contracts, some write poems Some paint feelings, some paint homes Some play all night, others work all day Some people cry, others like it this way Some like lasers and sunlight beams Some build bridges, some build dreams Some gather water, some spill oil Some 'til Tuesday and some till soil I don't know what I'm trying to say But I understand it better that way And I'll be fine if nobody ever does but me And if I got up and went somewhere Put on my suit and I combed my hair I hope someday I'll still be around With both my feet right there on the ground
