Simple Pleasures

[joro]

This is a new one for your scrutiny.........
Upbeat Country...........
Let loose the dogs of critique


Simple Pleasures
V1
Married me a gal, she's a real Country beauty
Bred with Country values and a real sense of duty
One smile from her and my heart skips a beat
Big City girls just can't compete

V2
Never cared much for Big City girls
With their fancy cars,
and their diamonds and pearls
Manicures and stylish clothes
Big City ways and painted toes

Chorus
We got a simple kind of life
One that's easy to measure
Working each day for our simple things
When the sun goes down
It's time for simple pleasures

V3
Wake on up at the crack of dawn
To the smell of bacon and her morning song
Get myself ready for a brand new day
Of clearing fields and rolling hay

V4
Work the land till the sun don't shine
I head on back to that woman of mine
Chores are finished and the day is done
And she let's her hair down
And we have some fun........

Chorus (x2)
We got a simple kind of life
One that's easy to measure
Working each day for our simple things
But, when the sun goes down
It's time for simple pleasures

Joro, Cool song. I love real songs by real people. Contemporary country doesn't do it for me but your stuff is cool. I think it would of been nicer to hear a little more harmonica though. Liked Right or Wrong by Willie McColluch too.

 

[Buffalo Bob]

I dig it. The only thing I would like to hear is a little mandolin. I totally agree with the sentiment, too. Pick on.

Howdy Joe,

I have been hitting ****.com listening to others song and resinging them acapella just to add my flare to it and see what I can do with them. Was wondering if you minded if I did that with yours? I sing new country style and not the rockabily style of this though I tend to swing my voice a bit more here and there than long notes...awsome stuff..great tune

Thanks man....
