This is kinda typical of my melodic style...
Well I thought I'd look at this like an assignment,
like in sixteen bars I'd have a story to tell.
So I figure here's a rough draft without refinement,
and if It all goes wrong, baby what the hell...
*chorus*
I was born in Massachusetts
in a beachfront little town
and since then I've been halfway around the globe
Playing songs and making smiles
for anyone who's down,
and if I couldn't, baby, I'd explode.
So here we are we're halfway through the story,
and I keep playing chords on this guitar
I found you only need four Chords
to bring your song to glory,
Because folks' ears they don't stretch so very far.
*chorus*
I was born in Massachusetts
in a beachfront little town
and since then I've been halfway around the globe
Playing songs and making smiles
for anyone who's down,
and if I couldn't, baby, I'd explode.

Now I'll take you on a side trip
to say a thing or two
about some of the dangers in my life.
Every now and then some cute girl
will smile and wave at me,
and I think that I might blow it all
and ask her to be my Wife.
*chorus*
I was born in Massachusetts
in a beachfront little town
and since then I've been halfway around the globe
Playing songs and making smiles
for anyone who's down,
and if I couldn't, baby, I'd explode.

Well that was just a damned delight! The light and easy humor just rolls with that melody. Rock and roll!
