I wrote most of the lyrics for this the morning of Feb 1, first day of FAWM. However, I got stuck on a few things and then a few smalls things got in the way. So, although it is my second post this year, it is technically the first song. I hope you enjoy the simplicity of it.
When I woke up this morning
I knew I’d be writing a song
At first it started pretty good
I didn’t think it would take so long
It had to tell a story
To which most could relate
Although I tried to hurry
Some things just have to wait
I could sing a sad song
About me having the blues
It could be a breakup song
And wearing my walking shoes
If I were a singing cowboy
Well, I could sing about that
Riding on my Tennessee stud
In my 10 gallon hat
CHORUS
We could all sing Shanty songs
Of life out on the seas
The hard life of a sailor boy
And the girl he could not please
But I think I’ll sing a simple song
And move on to the next
So this song can be finished
It’s gotten too complex
When I woke up this morning
I knew I’d be writing a song
At first it started pretty good
I didn’t think it would take so long
It had to tell a story
To which most could relate
Although I tried to hurry
Some things just have to wait

A perfect first song for FAWM even if it’s the second one posted. I’m glad you worked past a couple things and were able to finish it, sometimes those little things need a little extra time to iron out and it sounds like you did, great tune!

Metasongs are always wonderful FAWM offerings. And this is no exception. Great little song. :-)

Nice little tune!

Good start for 2022 fawming days. Got a lot of possibilities in a variety of genres. I can't wait to here what you do with them!

I giggled and tapped my toe through the whole ding danged thing! I love the cowboy verse. I’ll be tuning in to you, Bud. This is delightful!

It definitely tells a story I can relate to! ha ha. Well said and sung!

Nice upbeat song here, which is ironic given some of the lyrics. It engaged me from the start, which isn't easy. Great balance of elements. Great job!

The song has a comforting, take your shoes off by the door feel. Good introduction for the month, particularly like the refrain.
