Okay, I got this idea to start practicing in a normal bedroom with just an I-phone and no electronic toys. Funny thing, no matter how soft I play the guitar, it's the one thing the phone picks up loud. I specifically wrote this one to practice using an accent on the bass line repeatedly (and I left in the errors), and I figured I am so ingrained in other things and I took everyone's suggestion to work on playing my acoustic softer and not like a Sex Pistols les Paul.
And as I still hate doing vocals with a passion, I have been forcing myself to do what I hate........................so, is this one a one to keep writing and working on, or a tosser ?
Looking Back
When my daddy was a young man
he worked hard for what he owned
Tough on the kids till the day we're grown
Sent him off to fight in a foreign land
Did what he had to do in Vietnam
Momma would cook and clean almost every day
still had a 9 to 5, there were bills to pay
momma would do her best not to be unkind
every now and then we would cross that line
CHORUS
sometimes you gotta stand and take the fight
do what you have to do to do whats right
looking in the mirror see where you stand
in the end you answer to one man
Now I'm all grown I got kids of my own
blink of an eye I looked and they were grown
thinking about all the things I've seen
I never really care what could have been
CHORUS
Gonna live forever thats the biggest lie
you cant outrun a man called father time
I wouldnt change a thing baby if I could
theres a few things I probably should
