Backstory:
Lyrics are 100% authentic. Melody is AI generated. Why? It costs me $5,000-$8,000 per 10 demo’s. My last BMI report showed thousands of streams for various songs. My songwriter and publishing checks totaled $72. I am primarily a lyricist and don’t have access to pro track guys using synth programming and drum loops. AI helps me level the playing field. I don’t have a strong melody co-writer on some songs. I totally respect your decision on whether to consider my song or not. In the end, it’s a demo, not a record. Thank you.
Lyrics:
NEVER GONNA BE A SAINT
Copyright 10/12/24 Pat Kelley, BMI pk2@vermontel.net
Verse 1
Lookin' back, I'm amazed that I'm alive
'Tween the car wrecks, hell raisin' and the bar fights
Drove momma near half crazy
Said I'm too much like my dad
Gave me her love for Jesus
So, I didn't turn out half bad
Chorus
I'm better than I once was
Still a million miles from perfect
Say my prayers, go to church
But, I can be a hot head redneck
I ask God for forgiveness
Bout a hundred times a day
Yeah, He and I both know
I ain't never gonna be a saint
Verse 2
When I curse, I shake my head in shame
Bet God just laughs, as I do my best to change
Think my 20 bucks helped that mom
Countin' quarters at the pump
Then I drove away-threw the bird
At the guy that cut me off
Chorus
Repeat verse 2 (optional)
Yeah, he and I both know
I ain't never gonna be a saint
Bridge
If God's keepin' score
My game is prob'ly tied
Gotta live my life
Like it's the bottom of the 9th
Yeah, he and I both know
I ain't never gonna be a saint (x2)
