Chasing Pepper

Just a kid conducting Pepper 
on my living room floor 
Drove dad crazy, Mom held the book
As I learned all the chords 

I’ve been chasing Pepper all of my life
They're both gone now and it stings like a knife
And I really don’t know how the time just flies
I’m still chasing Pepper …all of my life

Life got hard, So many things
Didn’t go my way
You know It just wasn’t in the cards
But I had something to say 

I’ve been chasing Pepper all of my life
They're both gone now and it stings like a knife
And I really don’t know how the time just flies
I’m still chasing Pepper…all of my life

Bridge:
Dad said I’d never make it
But I could never shake it
Chasing Pepper…all of my life

I’ve been chasing Pepper all of my life
I stuck it out through odd jobs and a wife
And I really don’t know how the time just flies
I keep chasing Pepper...All of my life
