Feb 2022 acoustic-one-take country guy-with-guitar
This song title came from a couple of coworkers from years ago (Megan and Kaitlin, this one's for you). I'd like to come back to this for a fuller production, but it any good country song should work well enough as an acoustic one-take so I'm calling it good for now,
Quittin’ time on Friday
The weekend has begun
It’s time to let her hair down for a spell
Her décolletage is on display
Those jeans are painted on
Time to head out to the local well
She’s new back on the market
Hoping for a midnight rodeo
But the only thing she can tie down
Is a herd of “no’s”
Hope turns to desperation
Rejection to despair
As round and round the rounds of whiskey go
Shots without cessation
Til she falls out of her chair
Hits the barroom floor and she’s out cold
She was looking for a good time
But it looks like she’s outta luck
The only thing she’ll get tonight
Is potato sacked into the truck
Another week has come and gone
It’s Friday once again
She’s ready for another go-around
Her girlfriends there to cheer her on
She’s feelin’ like a ten
Lookin’ for a stud to horse around
She’s found herself a winner
About to leave the premises
When she sees her ex there
Making out with her sis
Her lust gives way to raging
Her new beau nopes on out
And round and round the rounds of whiskey go
But before she starts rampaging
She’s down for the count
Should have stopped at least four shots ago
Missed the rebound once again
Tonight was a dead duck
Once again, by her friends
She’s potato sacked into the truck
Next week she hopes the third time is the charm
She won’t drink ‘til someone else buys her a round
Before long she’s got a man putting drinks into her hand
Soon as they’re set up she knocks ‘em down
And the talking leads to flirting
The kissing leads to more
And round and round the rounds of whiskey go
She thought her luck was turning
When he hit the floor
A third act twist that she’d rather forgo
Tonight she didn’t get her way
But she’s not all out of luck
Tomorrow is another day
So he gets potato sacked into her truck
Tomorrow is their lucky day
Because she potato sacked him into her truck

Nice one-take, nice story!

This flows so well and your melody and vocals deliver the lyrics so well. What a crazy fun story and hook!

I LOVE the whole premise of this song and the idea that unceremoniously hefting someone into the truck is "potato sacking" them. Great twist at the end, too!
