Drink You Off My Mind....some Blues for y'all...

[joro]

I was lucky to write this to existing tunage....
You can listen to it at NoWhere.......


Drink You Off My Mind....

Give me Whiskey,
Give me Gin...
Give me something to wash away the sins...
My Old Lady sure has done me wrong....

Try as I may and try as I might
Gonna try and empty these, ....these bottles tonight....
But, I just can't seem to drink you off my mind...

Keep em' coming, coming tall and strong....
Keep em' coming,..........
coming all night long....

Got up this morning all hurt and dazed....
On my knees to the Porclain gods I prayed...
Had to pick myself up from that cold hard floor

Grabbed my coat and I grabbed my hat...
I headed back down to where it's at,
I'm Gonna keep trying to drink You off my mind....

Keep em' coming tall and strong....
Keep em' coming, coming all night long....

Give me Whiskey give me Gin...
keep me three shades to the wind
I don't care what kind of shape I get in

Gonna see if I can drink this place dry
Gonna give it my very best try...
But,...I just can't seem to Drink you off my mind...

Holy Hell...I thought I WAS listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Sounded great. Is that you singing? (I know this is the songwriting forum, but I don't have any songwriting comments...you should post this in the clinic.).

Mad, cool chops.

Hey Chris,
No man,..........


Not me.............



Small animals (and most people) flee at the sound of my singing voice....I just write the werds......

sometimes the music too........

Glad ya dug it,
Joe

Nice one Joro

Here's another drink song for ya. Straight 12 bar, obviously!

The Bottle Song

The bottle doesn’t care what you do
The bottle don’t make allies with your blues
And when it floats there
Getting lighter in your hand
There’s the one thing you have to understand
It ain’t the bottle
That’s laughing at you

You can tell me any kind of tale
Tell me why-y, all the time you fail
And when the world has
Done you down so wrong
I know the one thing helps you carry on
Your friend the bottle
Is smiling at you

You can take me, leave me that’s OK
It’s up to you now, work it your own way
But if your lover
Whisky lets you down
There’s always red wine round my side of town
I’ve got a bottle
Just waiting for you
