I BROKE UP

(Ben Krahne, Brent Baxter)


4-6-2021


V1:

I bet you think you just saw a dead man walking in

But here I am, still alive, high-fiving all my friends

I know it’s been a minute

Since you’ve seen me grinnin’

Like I’ve got it made, but hey, it’s the weekend

So why shouldn’t I be here

Buying myself a beer (cuz)


CHORUS:

I broke up

Yeah, I’m free

Ain’t nobody got their claws dug in me

I’m unchained

Up off the floor

Nothing’s got me tied down anymore

I can smile at who I want to

Dance with who I want to

And tonight’s feeling right so far

‘Cuz I broke up

I broke up with my broken heart


V2:

The night she left, I found myself dating misery

Under it’s thumb, worn out and numb, rewinding old memories

They didn’t like me gettin’

Too close to pretty women

I was tired of all that dyin’, it was time to quit it

My pain had a jealous bone

So it had to go (and)


CHORUS


And there’s that girl

With the come-here eyes

I’ve been seeing around

And I can do something ‘bout it now

Right now (cuz)


CHORUS

  • Spoilt today! Two crackers, This one intrigues me the most, the song structure, (or the lack of it), convention is thrown to the wind and I love that! You do your own thing and you pull it off no problem. Both songs today are top notch, great listen with lots in there to pick out and enjoy, So much good stuff to learn from. Love it,

  • I don't think I could pull it off vocally , Tuff to beat Matt Dame , I'll just let Brent pitch it

    Thanks Sid

  • I like how you can write what’s in your mind without babble. Conversationally. Concisely
  • Babble , well that's not good news lol

    Probably be in wheel chair before one gets on radio

  • No, not you. I tend to babble and have a short attention span 😂
