One For The Road

FAWM calls for 14 songs. This is song #15. I wrote the music on the 24th, one day after deciding I was done with writing music. Go figure. The lyric is about writing a song after you’ve decided to stop writing songs. We’ve all been there, right? Right? Just me? Okay.

The guitars are all ES-335 and the amp is my flammable old Fender Stage.

Trying to squeeze this last one in
No time left so why begin
Trying to make this last one fit
One more time and this is it

with a deadline looming can I get it done on time
when the clock is ticking can I find the perfect rhyme
with the moments fading can I have the final word
and with no one listening do I care that it’s unheard

If I cross the finish it won’t really mean a thing
If I am I winner still no one will hear me sing
now the ends in site and I can’t seem to let it go
though it doesn’t matter no one else will ever know

with a deadline looming can I get it done on time
when the clock is ticking can I find the perfect rhyme
now the ends in site and I can’t seem to let it go
though it doesn’t matter no one else will ever know
