I posted in the songwriting forum about the FAWM challenge to write 14 songs in 28 days. This is one of mine. It is only demo quality, since I have to write 11 other ones (I have 2 more done).
You can hear the other ones on my soundcloud if you are curious. 1 is a joke song and the other is a terribly sung demo that needs to be changed to a new key.
Lyrics:
My daddy died while runnin' shine
The way I was livin', I wasn't far behind
When I'm gone there won't be any tears
I killed a man who owed me money
and another one that just looked at me funny
And the state put me away for 40 years
I did my time I can't wait to get out
The world has changed without a doubt
Maybe I'll get me one of them cellular phones
I'll probably kiss the first woman I see
And hope that she don't taser me
Then I'll head out to the great unknown
Nine days and countin' til I get out of here
Nine days and countin' and I'll have an ice cold beer
Feels like a lifetime spent behind these old bars
Nine days and countin' til I see the moon and stars
Now prison ain't a safe place to be
I made some enemies in my time you see
I didn't see one of 'em coming with a knife in his hand
Now I'm layin' on the floor just a bleeding to death
And I'm thinkin' bout freedom and my final breath
and I'll die happy if I can just die a free man
Nine days and countin' til I get out of here
Nine days and countin' and I'll have an ice cold beer
Feels like a lifetime spent behind the old bars
Nine days and countin' til I see the moon and stars
Pretty cool you've got a Kris Kristofferson kind of voice actually sounds pretty ggod, but I thought you were a bass man?

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

Thank you :D Bass is my main instrument, but I use a guitar to write and record demos.
Multi talented eh?

I wasn't content with not being good on one instrument, so I figured I'd not be good at 2 :lol:
Cool Song ... nice job!

Very cool man, kind of gives me a Boy Named Sue type of vibe.
Thumbs up!!!
In Space, no one can hear me sing!

I shamelessly borrowed subject matter from Folsom Prison Blues, but after I recorded it, I realized my phrasing sounded like A Boy Named Sue. So I'll just call this my tribute to Mr. Cash.
