Feb 2022 country-folk
Blatantly inspired by watching the Beatles in Get Back amd I am pretty sure it rips off something but it's late and I can't think what. Maybe it's one of my own songs. I hope it's one of my own songs...

Why don't you leave him behind
He's just another state of mind
It's just a matter of time
C F
Before he fades away
C F
Take the monkey off your back
Put the presents in the sack
You know you're on a better track
G
Now you don't have to stay
C F
There's another road to run
And all the songs you've sung
Like the smoke inside your lungs
That never floats away
It takes time to get it right
You know it's love at just first sig ht
And there are times you'll have to fight
To make it through the day
But you know you are strong
He always got you wrong
But every time you got along
Was just a price to pay
So slip your foot into your shoe
You know me like I know you
We didn't take it all too soon
It's a life time away
So climb down from the cross
You ain't got to look so lost
All the chains you tossed
Just to get away
Why don't you leave him behind
He's just another state of mind
It's just a matter of time
Before he fades away

The feeling of disillusion in the lyrics go like hand in glove with your weary performance. Good one.

@emory ah, that might be it. Not a total rip-off, but an echo of that Stonesy vocal lilt for sure. But maybe there's other echoes too :-)

I like it! It kind of reminds me of the verses from "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in the best way.
