verse 1
I was sober enough to remember your nagging; nitpicking too
I was sober enough to remember your cursing and all the Hell you put me through
I was sober enough to remember your temper but don't it beat it all
I was sober enough to remember your number and drunk enough to call
verse 2
I remember how you changed the locks; burned my clothes on the lawn
I remember how you smashed my truck and poisoned my dog
I remember your flirting and cheating heart but don't it beat it all
I was sober enough to remember your number and drunk enough to call
verse 3
I was sober enough to spot your lover drinking at the bar
I was sober enough to load my rifle while following his car
I was sober enough to pull the trigger but don't it beat it all
I was sober enough to remember your number and drunk enough to call
verse 4
I was sober enough with my lawyer present before the judge that day
I was sober enough when they locked me up and threw the key away
I was sober enough to regret that night I bragged and spilled it all
I was sober enough to remember your number and drunk enough to call
I was sober enough to remember your number and drunk enough to call
James,
As always very catchy, :D (smilies are back!) I like the honky-tonk piano playing and the pop music format. Aside from residing in the hook I am not catching the "drunk enough to call" part of the song. Was it "that night I bragged and spilled it all", if it is, just a thought, maybe substitute "rang" for "bragged". Or add another verse or bridge? Lovin it live it with a big Jerry Lee Lewis style finish. :lol:
Hi Andy,
Was it "that night I bragged and spilled it all", if it is, just a thought, maybe substitute "rang" for "bragged".
Yes, that's the main idea there. He committed a crime/murder and called his x to brag/tell about it.
Thanks for the listen, post and suggestion. :D I'll take a look at the wording again later. :wink:

Reminiscent of the late, great Steve Goodman. :D
Great write, James.
Take care,

Hi Shady Harrison,
Thanks for the listen and encouragement. :D

James, this song sounds like it should be played in a bar after everyone has had a chance to get drunk.
Not my type of music, but good for this genre and fun to listen to.

Hi Rene,

:lol: I think you are on to something there....but it also might clear the bar out with everyone looking over their shoulder wondering who might be there from their lover's past :shock:

No worries. I try to let the lyrics dictate the direction of the music and this one was screaming country/honkytonk, so I figured I'd give it a go.....
.....BTW I saw you were absent from SSG for a while. I might be doing the same and be out of it for a while as it's time for our family to do some summer traveling to the USA and I'll be away from my beloved recording equipment. :cry:
Thanks for the listen and post.
James
