Rough vocal only demo for the benefit of meter readers.

» highest in charts:   # 23   (46,960 songs currently listed in Country)
» highest in sub-genre:   # 7   (14,213 songs currently listed in Country > Country General)

This is a quick vocals only take that I laid down so that some of my fellow crtiquers could follow the meter.

Country with a serious feel to it, similar to the feeling you get when you hear George Strait's song "If I Know Me".
This is pretty unconventional, and I haven't decided if it should be a duet or not, but leaning toward not. Still in the works.

Honey- Do's

As I walked out the door today,
I was on my way
To leavin' you.
Stepped back in to find my keys,
That's when you gave me
A list of honey-do's.
I walked back out without a word,
With my mind set on leavin'.
I knew there'd be some hurt,
But, girl I had my reasons.
Then I glanced down at that paper,
And my hands started tremblin'.
And right then and there,
I changed all my plans.

It said...
CHORUS:
"Honey, take out the trash please.
Honey do you still love me?
Honey can you come straight home
From work tonight?
Honey, the dog needs feedin',
The flower bed needs weedin'.
Honey, what happened to that light
That once shined in your eyes?
The house needs paintin',
The fence needs fixin'.
Honey, I miss your hugs and kisses.
The yard needs mowin',
Honey, please don't go,
'Cause, Honey, I'll die without you" -
Your list of honey-do's.

Vs2:
As I read through those tear-blurred words,
It suddenly occurred to me
I've been such a fool.
Knowing you for all this time,
And all the while remaining blind
To things I didn't do.
So I brought these flowers here,
And I'm apologizin'.
They don't make up for the years
That you've spent agonizin'.
But girl, if you'll still have me,
I'm gonna do some compromisin' -
And start workin' through
Your list of honey-do's.

CHORUS:
"Honey, take out the trash please. (I will.)
Honey do you still love me? (Girl, still.)
Honey can you come straight home
From work tonight? (You bet I will.)
Honey, the dog needs feedin', (Yes, Babe.)
The flower bed needs weedin'. (Sure thang.)
Honey, what happened to that light
That once shined in your eyes? (It still shines.)
I'll paint the house,
And I'll mend those fences.
Cover you with my hugs and kisses.
Whatever you want,
'Cause Honey you know
That, Honey, I'll die without you -
And all your honey-do's.



The parts in parentheses fit well with the music and flow. The "want" in the line "Whatever you want" is pronounced "wont" for the rhyme with "know".
