The idea for this came from my friend who said let's try to write a country song with urban characters and situations. So his truck gets replaced by a Prius. I guess I should have him taking Zoloft rather than drinking....work in progress.
Gmaj7 / / / Gmaj7 / / / Em7 / / / Em7 / / /
I drove my Prius down the block to get a laté
Amaj9 / / / Amaj9 / / / Dmaj9 / / / Dmaj9 / / /
I’d been working on my graduate thesis and I was beat
Gmaj7 / / / Gmaj7 / / / Em7 / / / Em7 / / /
When I pulled into the lot I saw her standing
Amaj9 / / / Amaj9 / / / Dmaj9 / / / Dmaj9 / / /
She finished locking up her bike and took the seat.
She was thinner than a meth addict’s shadow
Dressed all in black with hair dyed blue
On her feet she wore those new bright orange Nikes
And I wondered how she smelled and her gender preference too.
CHORUS
C / / / Dmaj9 / / / Gmaj7 / / / Em7 / / /
What the hells a city boy to do?
C / / / Dmaj9 / / / Bm / / / Bm / / /
When his mentor says he’s lacking self respect?
C / / / Dmaj9 / / / Gmaj7 / / / Em7 / / /
But go back to his apartment and meditate
C / / / Dmaj9 / / / Gmaj7 / / /
And look for possible answers, on the internet
Solo? 2nd Chorus?
I wondered how I’d feel to wake up in her arms
Read the Times together, and talk ‘bout politics
Would she respect my position on Atwood’s later works
Say I looked like Downey in the latest Marvel flick
And I wonder whatever became of her
Last I heard she was auditing a course in Indigeous Herbology
Well I hope those those Ivy League boys understand her
Respect her rights but make no apology…
CHORUS

This is a fun take on country songs. Some amusing lines in there and all in all good parody.
