While I'm out here in Montana I decided to write a country song. This idea may prove to be genius b/c 1) Country songs are corny 2) I'm corny and 3) you can make a country song about anything, like spilling your beer. (Which I would never do b/c I like beer, but if I did, I might write a country song about it.) Also, I could be wrong but I think successful country songs are built around a lot of repetition and familiarity, (like most pop), simple enough. The chorus is the song.
It was funny writing this b/c I had to fight the urge to think with my mentality, and instead rely on my newly developed "country mentallity." For the record; I can get down with anything, but I'm not country at all.
This song has a pretty straight forward 1-2-3-4 country rhythm. Anyway, turn on your twang and enjoy!
Now, I've drove home after one too many...
I have regrets, made mistakes aplenty...
I aint got much - dont got much money..
Coulda saved more, shoulda pinched my pennies...
But I'm here at home out in the country...
Lord...Take. Me. Home______
(Please)
Lord...Take. Me. Home______
Now I've gambled too much
good times sure are spendy
At the tavern
drinking bourbon whiskey
Put it on my tab,
sure it's getting hefty
No excuses
but My wallets empty
I'm so sorry, should I stay or should I go_____

Square Dancin' on a line
Now, I've done alright

I just read that with the best twang ever.. Livin in the dirty south has paid off.
ReplyDeleteYeeeHawwww!
same here, my new surroundings gave me the perfect insight on how to enjoy this song. One of the pilots here is as Texas as they come, i gotta get him to read this out load and record it, it would be stereotypically hilarious!
