SOUNDS LIKE A COUNTRY SONG
Sounds like a country song
Verse 1]
It's a song about living
It's a song about a beer on a Friday night
It's a song about fishing
A song about buds 'round the old campfire
It's a song about firewood burning, crickets chirping all in the breeze
Sounds like a country song to me
[Verse 2]
It's a song about playing
In this same old smoky bar
It's a song about singing
Like nobody here knows who you are
It's a song about packing all your stuff and moving to Tennessee
Sounds like a country song to me
[Chorus]
It's a song about love
If you mean it to be
trading those city lights for guitar strings
When you've had enough and figured it's time to start chasing some dreams
It's the only kind of song you'll wanna sing
Sounds like a country song to me
[Verse 3]
It's like baby don't worry
We can slow it down and still make it on time
We don't have to hurry
Like we've been doing for most of our lives
Trading that rush hour traffic in for a front porch swing
Yeah, sounds like a country song to me
[Chorus]
It's a song about love
And I need it to be
It’s a song playing over and over
But you still put it on repeat
I've had enough of this grind, I'm gonna start chasing my dreams, I'm gonna start chasing my dreams
It's the only kind of song I got to sing
Sounds like a country song to me
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh)
Smell that breeze
(Ooh-ooh)
Heard a new high
Like I've never seen
Wherever you're going, wherever you've been
What you've seen
Colorado, California, back to Nebraska, New York, now in Tennessee
Starting to feel like home to me
[Verse 4]
It's a song about life
If you want it to be
A simple life and a country road, that’s all I need,
When you've had enough of this grind and finally start chasing some dreams
It's the only kind of song you'll sing
Sounds like a country song to me
Song completely written by Benny Thomas.
Demo was helped by Ai

HOLD MY PURSE "WATCH THIS"
Hold My Purse. Watch This
Let me show you a little trick of mine
Those boys over there in the mood for buying
Experience has made me a badass chick
Hold my purse. Watch this.
Verse 2
You boys ain’t ready for this
Let me show you how I get my kicks
These boys, they try to show me up
As I hit that last red Solo cup
I said, hold my purse — watch this
Either beer or wine or a pink martini with a twist
Hold my purse. Watch this.
Bridge
Then there’s Rita — goddamn Rita
She’s always in the middle of some guy’s fingers
How about Tanya?
She ain’t getting Anya as drunk as you are
She gonna go home and vomit
I promise as soon as that Broadway band quits
Hold my purse and watch this
Hey boys, make some noise
Have you ever seen a cowgirl rockin’ hits?
Hold my purse — watch this. --- END ---

HEY SUMMER
Hey Summer
Hey summer, when are you gonna come around?
Knowin’ I love the sound of a boat in the water,
The click and the spin when you caught her.
We like to take it slow.
Hold that sunset way past nine, yeah.
Chorus
I taste the freedom,
Make me believe I’m livin’.
Wine or tequila,
Whatever you need to relax,
Whatever comes what may.
I know parts of you aren’t tan yet.
Verse
Summer,
When you gonna dump that weather?
You’ve been holding in forever,
He never lets you change.
Get your triple digits again, ’cause
I’m ready to sink or swim,
Ain’t got much choice now, do I?
Whatever comes what may.
Chorus
I taste the freedom,
Make me believe I’m bad.
Wine or tequila,
Whatever you need to relax.
Bridge
The sun’s been hiding behind clouds for way too long,
April showers lingered and May just dragged along.
Now it’s July and the heat’s just starting to shine,
But it feels like summer’s late, just like she’s been on my mind. --- END ---

DID YOU KNOW THAT IN TENNESSEE?
[Verse 1]
Did you know that in Tennessee you can drive around while your riders drink
As long as the cops don't see your open can
did you know that in Nashville you can go downtown see twenty bands
Starting their shift right about ten a.m.
You know down on Broadway
if you buy the band a round a drinks
they'll play your favorite song all damn day
[Chorus]
Did you know you were falling out of love
Did you know you were planning to leave
Now I'm just a lonely man still chasing crazy dreams
Did you know that in Tennessee?
[Verse 2]
We moved to town we were the perfect team
You got to work and I would play and sing
Those Broadway bars can wear you thin
I guess drinking it became a thing
[Chorus]
Did you know you were getting bored
My jokes just weren't that funny no more
Did you know I'd never change
DID you find that out on the plane or
Did you know that in Tennessee
[bridge]
Now you're somewhere people sleep at night instead of trying to hide what they feel
And I'm still here in Tennessee with empty bottles and a heart that's never healed
you said you needed steady, needed someone who could show up every day
But I kept on choosing smokey bars and old guitars and hoping that you'd stay
[Bridge]
(Instrumental Violin Solo)
[Outro]
Did you know that in Tennessee you can't buy wine on Christmas Day
Or before 11 At liquor stores or at the bar after 3
Did you know that in Tennessee --- END ---

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT "BELLA'S VERSION"
She's got a better Job
She's got a better Hat
She's got a better truck and I bet he thinks she's a better plan
She's got a better smile
She's got a better grin
She's got a better love for God and I bet she's got better sin
[pre chorus]
tell me about this girl you finally met
Said she can give you everything I can't
[Chorus]
Some boy might like these girls with a heart on a sleeve and dirt on her two boots
Like a midnight ride bonfire, sleeping bag in a truck under the big blue moon
I might move on someday and find a better man than you
Who's got a new house, new car, new life, new friends, new jokes to make me laugh
New gold-plated buckle on her hip you say you got a new girl?
Good luck with that
Good luck with that
[Verse 2]
Don't say that I told you so oh no but you go around gambling hard
You were happy on a tractor last year now you're driving that electric car
Remember those nights we were sitting around the fire and I played your favorite song
in the full moonlight you gave me those eyes like baby we got it all
[pre chorus]
Yeah I heard about this girl you finally met
I bet she's never seen you smile quite like that
[Chorus]
Some boy might like hanging out on a hill with a blanket and a Coors Light can
Dancing around in a bar to a song that was ours when you didn't even know how to dance
I might move on someday and find another boyfriend too
Who's got new hopes, new dreams, new family to meet, new friends to go out with
If you ever start to think I'd want you back?
Good luck with that
[Bridge]
My finger used to wear that ring
The one that made my finger green
Don't care what your mama thinks I threw it in the pond
I try not to dwell on the past
But there's things that I won't forget
That laugh, those eyes, bet I find a new guy who wears a cowboy hat
Don't call me when you're drunk at the bar
like twenty beers deep and you probably can't find your car
I should be moving on
But here I am standing at your door
[Chorus]
Somewhere in my life these girls with a heart on a sleeve and dirt on her two boots
Like a man in my right mind fast as you can back a truck under the big blue moon
I might move on someday and find a better man than you
Who's got a new house, new car, new life, new friends, new jokes to make me laugh
New gold-plated buckle on her hip - you say you got a new girl
Good luck with that
[Outro]
Good luck with that
Good luck with that --- END ---
