Free As I Wanna Be
Free As I Wanna Be
Verse 1 (Mid-Tempo melody; mix of Acoustic, Electric and Slide Guitars, with crisp drums)
I thought my life was all about loving you
But you moved on, there was nothing I could do
I wasted so much time blaming myself
But sittin' alone at home won't help
So tonight I'm goin' out on the town
The rest of my life starts right now
It's time to be...
Chorus:
Happy again, make some friends, live my life
Have some fun, and push you out of my mind
I'm gonna go party all night, won't look back
Forget everything we had
Find the old me I used to be
I'm free as I wanna be
I'm free as I wanna be
Verse 2:
I'm drinkin' a margarita in this bar
Everyone is spinnin' on the dance floor
The bartender says to me "Why you look so sad"
I tell him "I lost the only love I've ever had"
He shakes his head and gives me a smile
He grins and says, "Your life ain't over, not by a country mile."
I look at the dance floor then back at him and smile
It's time to be...
Chorus:
(Electric guitar solo with slide guitar)
Bridge:
I'm gonna dance
Take a chance
Maybe even start a new romance, and
And find the old me I used to be
I'm free as I wanna be… (x4)
(music fades)

Again, as you have an album coming, I'd love to hear some music. These lyrics look very promising. 'Mid-Tempo melody; mix of Acoustic, Electric and Slide Guitars, with crisp drums' That sounds very appetising..how about a sneak preview?!!!
Totally off topic..Appetising - UK spelling vs Appetizing - US (and maybe elsewhere) spelling. It looked wrong when I typed it.

@JT424 I like the lyrics you've posted to the forum thus far. The layout looks good, and the lyrics seem to fit a country style. Have you recorded any demos of your work? If not that's fine too. Lyrics are also a critical part of songwriting. 😀
Cheers,

I'm not a singer. I just write songs and make "albums" for fun. I just pretend that I am a real life singer-songwriter. It's fun.1

I see. Well, your lyrics are good, and you do a good job outlining how you imagine your songs would shape up. There's nothing wrong with having a good imagination and pretending to be a real life singer-songwriter. Some compose music only and would appreciate collaborating with a talented lyricist. I look forward to reading your next set of lyrics. 😀
Cheers,
Joseph

Classic country! Feels right on the money for a "getting over a broken heart" song.
"free as I wanna be" is an evocative line. Makes you ask how free he really wants to be!
Good stuff.
