My New Song! I Think I've Broken Out of My Slump!

[GarthLVR88]

Well well well...I think I've finally found a song I like! It's not about anyone I know..lol, but it could be later in life! Just pray that it won't be, okay? LOL. I'd love to hear your comments and SUGGESTIONS! Don't be shy..I'm not! ;) So.."Give me everything ya got, alright?" ;)
<br>
<br>I’d Rather Be
<br>
<br>The day you proposed
<br>I thought I was going to die
<br>Just as you expected
<br>I started to cry
<br>
<br>But unlike you thought
<br>They weren’t tears of joy
<br>Tears from thinking to myself
<br>“Boy…oh boy.”
<br>
<br>You’re a drunk. You’re a cheat
<br>I’d rather walk on nails with my bare feet
<br>You’re a loser. You’re a liar.
<br>I’d rather bathe in a blazing hot fire
<br>I think I’d rather be eaten alive
<br>Kept behind bars for the rest of my life
<br>Stabbed in the back with a thousand knives
<br>All of these things, before being your wife
<br>
<br>My mama always told me
<br>That you were no good
<br>You did everything I didn’t
<br>All the things no man should
<br>
<br>After a few terrible dates
<br>I started noticing what she’d said
<br>I’d play along with you for the night
<br>Then go home and wish I were dead
<br>
<br>Bridge:
<br>I cried crocodile tears into my pillow at night
<br>Wondering if I’d ever find my Mr. Right
<br>I thought maybe you’d be a prince, but you’re still a frog
<br>Now I’m little Mrs. Me married to my Mister Wrong
<br>
<br>So shoot me now, lay me down to rest
<br>I must’ve been drunk when I told you “yes”
<br>I just can’t seem to get this ring off of my hand
<br>Now I’m your woman, and you are my man.
<br>
<br>Of all the things I’d rather be
<br>It’s just this one that still gets to me
<br>Out of everything I’ve said before
<br>I’d really rather not be…… yours.

LMAO! We're not bitter, are we? j/p
<br>
<br>Like I said before, Rach, I like this one! And that it plays to me like a Shania Twain/Danni Leigh hit..with that "dark twang." ;) Ya know, I couldn't think of it before...but the twist at the end Does fit...It reminds me of that Alan Jackson song...not sure of the title, but...the one where he accidentally marries the "wrong" waitress and he doesn't know her name, LOL.
<br>
<br>Keep it Up! Talk to you soon!

That's a great song. The Alan Jackson song that was mentioned goes "I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name." I imaagine the actaul title is probably one part of that sentence. I remember the video for it features Jeff Foxworthy.N

[AlwaysaGBFan]

See Rachel....I told ya I'd come see it and I even did it tonight! So if I don't get the paper work done it's your fault! lol Well about the song...I already told ya it was great but I'll tell ya again. Rachel it's GREAT! Talk to ya soon! Ohh..and Ward said hey! :-)

I'll just let him write to ya.....Hey Rachel Allen let me read the song. I really like it. It looks like you've really got some talent and you need to be sure and use it! Good luck!
