Small win—wrote a song!
I’m not a country music fan (rock and metal for me) but you have to admit, that country vibe can be pretty dang catchy. I grew up with it always in the background, and some of it must have stuck.
So this morning, I’m in the bathtub (sorry TMI) and all of a sudden I’m singing lyrics I’m just making up as I go along! And it’s hilarious! A dive bar, a pretty woman, heartbreak, way way too much whiskey… it all just came rushing out. I got out of the tub and wrote that sucker down, and sang it into my iPad! Later I told my wife about it and of course she hounded me until I sang it to her. She just about passed out laughing but also said, that’s good, you should sell that!!
It struck me how these sad country songs, like, my wife walked out and now damn if I’m out of Lone Star, are not only soulful, they’re also full of humor and good cheer for your fellow sufferers in this life.
I plan to work up this song for my next 90 days. Maybe I will even find the courage to record it for… y’all.
