Country Song Challenge

[hwmabire3]

Okay, this is going to be too much fun, but let's do it anyway. Anyone and everyone can participate.

Write a country song and post it in this thread. It can be serious, funny, lovey-dovey, whatever you want. You don't have to write any actual music, you can just do lyrics. How far you want to go with this is entirely up to you. The only rule is that there has to be a title and at least three verses and a chorus somewhere in there.

That's it!

I dare you to do this. I double dog dare you! Come on, let's have some fun!

Okay, here's mine. I'm posting first because if I wait until I've read everyone else's, I probably wouldn't have the courage to post. There are some good writers on here! Just for the record, don't worry, this song is in no way based on my life, LOL.

Eat My Dust

You stumbled in at three,
Hopin' I'd be too tired to see,
Her lipstick on the collar of your shirt
When I asked you, "Where you been?"
You just walked right out again,
Fell down the steps and landed face first in the dirt.

You mumbled under your whiskey breath,
I nearly laughed myself to death,
At the thought of you breaking up with me.
I'm sure some girl, somewhere,
Might actually care.
But, you didn't cheat on her, you cheated on me.
All I have to say is:

CHORUS:
So what!
I'm through with us.
It's been too long, and I'm too strong
And I'm leavin' your butt.
So darlin', please don't think I care,
Cause I won't lose one little hair.
Feel free to get down on your knees and eat my dust.

Speeding down the drive,
I've never felt so alive.
These tires can't spin fast enough for me.
I'm leaving you behind,
And it gives me peace of mind,
Just knowing you're too far away for me to see.

This storm was brewin' for a while now, it's true,
I had to rid myself of you,
But I was waiting for that one last little straw.
You stumbling drunk into our shack,
That's what broke the camel's back,
And now you're just lying there in awe.
Like I said:

So what!
I'm through with us.
It's been too long, and I'm too strong
And I'm leavin' your butt.
So darlin', please don't think I care,
Cause I won't lose one little hair.
Feel free to get down on your knees and eat my dust.

Two weeks later and it still feels good.
I'm having fun just like I should.
You want me to call you, but if I would,
All I'd say is:

So what!
I'm through with us.
It's been too long, and I'm too strong
So I left your butt.
Darlin', please don't think I care,
Cause I won't lose one little hair.
Feel free to get down on your knees and eat my dust.

Hwmabire3 that is good. You need to send that off to be recorded cause I would listen to it. Wow. I'm not good at this stuff. Can't wait to read more.

Sadly, writing isn't one of my talents but I do love listening to Country music. Here's one of my favorite songs by Keith Urban

Days Go By
Whoah!

Oh and a yeah...


I'm changing lanes and talkin' on the phone
Drivin' way too fast.
And the interstate's jammed with gunners like me
Afraid of comin' in last.
But somewhere in the race we run,
We're coming undone...

CHORUS:
And days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...


Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by,
Headlights, taillights,
Running through a river of neon signs.
Mmm-hmmm...
But somewhere in the rush I felt,
We're losing ourselves...


CHORUS:
And days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now,
And days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Yeah, the days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo!


We think about tomorrow then it slips away.
Oh, yes, it does.
We talk about forever but we've only got today...

And the days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window as the cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin',
You better start livin',
Better start livin' right now!


CHORUS:
'Cause days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now...
'Cause days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Yeah, these days go by...
Oh and a woo-hooo!

Oh!
So take 'em by the hand,
They're yours and mine.
Take 'em by the hand,
And live your life.
Take 'em by the hand,
Don't let 'em all fly by!

Come on, Come on now...
Yeah!
Come on now!
Oh and a woo-hooo!
Don't you know the days go by...
