A bluesy little 12 bar number of mine. All instruments besides the guitars were homemade, including my cigar box lap drum, penny-and-tomato can snare, and rebuilt foot tambourine. I didn't have an exact artist or song influence this one, but after listening to the finished track a few times, to my ear it's a little Roger Miller and a little Duane Allman. Hope you like it!
Lyrics:
Take all my folding money, honey,
Get a bottle from the liquor store
If there's any change left over,
Go ahead and pick up some more
Because we got time
Might as well spend it with whiskey and wine
It might seem sophomore
But it sure beats walking the floor
There's a whole lot of good times sloshing around in those bottles you bought
Find a spot in the sunshine, and work on being a lush
What say you
Maybe smoke a little, too
You've already got one sparked
Bless your heart
Let go of the troubles, baby, leave all those worries behind
Put our drunken heads together, see what kind of trouble we find
Try and feel free
Even just temporarily
You're ready to depart
Bless your heart
