Swill A Beer

I couldn’t get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don’t shower or shave and have a beer!
Swill A Beer
I sit in this summer heat
In borderline obscurity
The part of me that wants to reach out
Has packed up and gone
No one can see through my window
It’s covered with a filthy sheet
No friends visit or call on me
Chorus
Run my fingers through my hair
Take a deep breath of this hot dusty air
Then swill a beer
Sit back in my chair
The sun comes down again
With overbearing certainty
Leaving me deep in thought
As darkness falls in
I don’t want to ponder the questions
That most people have
Chorus
Ahhhhhhhhh
Oooooooh
Chorus
Do you think it’s safe to go out
Do you think the coast is clear
Is there someone waiting in the shadows
To swallow my fear
Better not take a chance
Better play it safe
Chorus

There's a quality to your songwriting/chord progressions, etc that I really, really like. I knew within 2 chords this would be really good.
Thanks for checking that. YOU have got some tasty things, man! How are you recording this stuff?

"The sun comes down again With overbearing certainty" Now man, **sound of beer can being opened** that's poetry. Pure poetry. (You know, if you would just take that filthy sheet down off of your window your friends would be much more likely to drop over for a cool one! But on the other hand, they would have to promise not to ponder over any those questions...)
