Best I can
https://suno.com/song/e9fcdac9-65cc-446e-bdd2-155ea6ac0fab
Verse 1
Pills on the counter, whiskey in the sink
Promises I made start to slip when I drink
Got a stack of regrets and a pocket of bets
And a past that ain’t done collecting yet
I tell myself tomorrow’s where I’ll change my ways
But tomorrow keeps running like a doggone stray
Every sunrise feels like a brand-new test
And I’m showing up broke… but doing my best
Chorus
Pills, booze, bets, and sex
Yeah, that’s been my four regrets
I ain’t proud but I ain’t dead
Still got voices in my head
Sayin’ “Boy, you ain’t done yet”
So I fight what I can’t forget
Tryin’ to live like a man should live
But I’m doing the best I can with this
Verse 2
Church bells ring but I don’t walk in
Feel like a liar every time I pretend
Preacher talks ‘bout a cleaner soul
Mine’s been dragged down a long dirt road
I’ve known love but I let it burn
Like a lesson I refused to learn
Now it’s me and this worn-out mind
Tryin’ to outrun the life behind
Chorus
Pills, booze, bets, and sex
Yeah, that’s been my four regrets
I ain’t proud but I ain’t dead
Still got voices in my head
Sayin’ “Boy, you ain’t done yet”
So I fight what I can’t forget
Tryin’ to live like a man should live
But I’m doing the best I can with this
Bridge (short, spoken feel)
Ain’t lookin’ for halos…
Just a night I can sleep through clean
Final Chorus (lift)
Pills, booze, bets, and sex
Yeah, they still come collectin’ debts
But I ain’t laid down just yet
Got a little fight left in my chest
Maybe grace ain’t done with me
Maybe I’m who I’m supposed to be
Just a man on a thin line edge
Doing the best I can… with this

There all murder movies , Or some guys a FBI agent revenging his daughters death. They beat that one to death , CIA whatever . Don't tell me you're joining the Cartel to get the info . You fight off 300 men with karate . Let's throw in 15 car chases . Left or right boys , whats the difference when the car flips over . the hero crawls out barely alive . All the sync music is from the 70ties for some reason . Once in awhile a good movie , the age of Adeline . She doesn't age cuz she goes in a river . Truly original idea

We are all doing the best we can with what we have, may not be much. that's why we write and post, and wait with bated breath for comments that never come :)..
Wish I had more to say about your lyrics, but even though you reuse topics, they not worn out. which what good songwriters do :)

Mine go to Youtube , I'm not worried about song writers , Listeners would not know a verse from a chorus . They either like it or not . Whats a hook ? you mean that catchy part. Whats a bridge ? I don't know maybe he likes bridges like Golden Gate . Well lucky it's short , I got things to do . 5 minutes ? Does this guy think I have all the time in world , how long are you going keeping talking about a truck . Ford Built tuff ? They're made in China . Well must be a political song
Do I wanna do this ? not really I've heard the pills whiskey thing

I just don't get why nobody is barely commenting. Only the mod comment on Tom's lyrics. I get why nobody comments on mine, other than Tex, You and Owen, but yours and Tom's and just don't get why not.

Maybe it's the comedy central , and people really take this serious . Are we signed artists for Sony ? Well I don't think so , unless theirs a senior citizen division . Them buses have them raised toilets and hand rails . We have to pay for a nurse to take our pulse. We forget lyrics , So we use sign language . Only one up beat song per show , or we might pass out from the excitement . I'm not standing up here 2 hours , Its pass my bedtime . What town are we in I have memory loss . Why are you here , I'm old, Taylor Swift rolls in next week . Well thats all I got .

it's the absurdity hour, we are all legends in our own mind, just some more so than others.

I hear that a lot legend in our own mind, Well not really in my mind , More like WTF do you keep doing this for lol
Maybe you need a new hobby like training frogs to jump . Maybe get a job at Suno , Walk robots like dogs , they don't poop , just leak oil . Does every outlaw song have to start with humming ? can you whistle ? . Well that means I'd have to hire a pro whistler when I go to the studio same union as clappers
