Feb 2022 country upbeat guitar
Has anyone listened to / watched the video for ABCDEFyou?
I need to adjust my perceptions of what's acceptable. That's a terrific song from a songwriter's point of view.
This is my attempt at making my adjustment, and to be more accepting of Gen Z.
It's also an attempt to target Tim McGraw, believe it or not.
The Kids are Alright
2022 Bob McKillop
Verse 1
My little girl dropped an F-bomb
In front of her mom
Gonna be hell to pay
But she’s a sweet kid,
She didn’t mean it
It’s not a habit
She let one get away
She’s got a little heart of gold
It was no big deal, I’m just getting old
Chorus’
We all need to keep it light
Don’t get uptight
It’s a different time, consider the soul inside
Before you pick a fight
The kids, yeah the kids are alright
Verse 2
Our son scrolling Pintarest
Showing no interest
In talking to us
But hang on,
I hear my phone ping
Now he’s messaging
‘Love you Dad, hey what’s up’?
We’re together in the same damn room
When he texts me ‘you want to shoot some pool?’
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
My old man, he hated
My music, clothes and hair
But he knew he’d raised a good man
As for the rest, he didn’t care
Repeat Chorus
Outro

Cool 180-degrees to the Who song of the same name!

Love that strumming pattern. This is crisp and catchy and fun. I definitely agree with the sentiment. I'm the father of a 17 y/o and I spend a lot of time working in high schools. The kids are doing great as far as I can tell. Old folks definitely need to keep it light...the kids are fine

Very sweet. A nice reminder to try to understand our kids' intentions before flipping out over their every action.
