THREE MINUTE VACATION

(Elvis Nash , Sandy Ramous Terri Burch, Brent Baxter)

6-22-2021



V1:

Ridin’ into work, I’m hittin’ nothin’ but red lights

Prius cuts me off and I’m ready to fist fight

‘Cuz the coffee in my cup (is) burnin through my jeans now

Thank God I got the radio to calm me down


CHORUS:

I take a 3-minute vacation when I hear me a Country song

Puts me right in a vibe and I’m good as gone (to)

Summers at the lake and starry nights above

Got my girl and a blanket on the tailgate (bed) of my truck

It’s a little bit of right when my day goes wrong

Hearing a country song I take a 3-minute vacation


V2:

I’m walkin’ downtown tryin’ not to get mugged

Yeah, the crowds and the car horns ain’t lettin’ up

‘Bout losin’ my mind, losin’ all my good ‘ole boy

Put my earbuds in to drown out the noise


CHORUS x 2

    @ElvisNash - refreshing lyrics... you choose country as uplifting, I've always find this to cheer me up :) https://youtu.be/7Zt0JjhFS9g?si=9kYHAE3pVwLjuDZx 😂

  • Looks easy doesn't it ? , that took a billion rewrites

    Thanks

  • I can imagine

  • Some new hits have 10 writers , I don't know how the hell they do that , 10 people on the same page

  • what a nightmare

    ha ha ha , probably , I like my line better , No this is better , 10 people doing that. Then %'s on who gets what probably . Maybe the artist wrote 2 words , hard to say on the big boys and %'s

    I've learned to ignore dark ideas , in the trash they go , unless I got a good solution in the song to resolve it

  • The vocals are far better here in my opinion than any other songs by you that I have listened to. The harmonies are perfect. It sounds like a major release for sure. It has a little hip hop or rap sound to it in places. like at 0:16 to 0:19. It also sounds similar to that very popular song a couple/few years ago that was used in Applebee's commercial. I'm sure you have heard the one I mean.

    Far better I think I’ve been insulted lol
    Yeah he’s a good singer , it’s 5 years old now
    There’s a story behind this song on drama , I won’t bore you with it . Clayton is his name , that's all these guys do day in and day out sing demos
    Thanks

    Oh, I wasn't sure if that was you just doing a different style.

    t's a really good song. Working with these guys would certainly put you in major territory.

  • Yep! @ElvisNash ! Great message, great tune! Roots Radio is my getaway! Nice collaboration; Nashville style!

    Naw my voice is like Tom Waits met Dylan in a bar . Major Territory ? That was the dream man


    Thats me and will be promoted with a new promotion company , Thats the new dream , Pitching songs is kinda a dead dream, 20 years and about 300k trying. So much for dreams
