Heart Of Teflon®

Wish I had a heart of Teflon®
So the sadness would just slide
Wouldn't stick inside of me
Would get off this bumpy ride

The vultures had their turns
The really licked me dry
Got all that they needed
Just left me there to cry

It's every person for themselves
When will I ever learn?  
Guess my needs don't matter
When will it be my turn?

At least I know God loves me
And a special someone, too
One day I'll get to the Promised Land
And be happy when I do
