I'm the lead singer/bass player for an all-female rock cover band called, "Rock Candy" in Cincinnati, OH (friend us on Facebook!) but I also like to sing other styles of music.
Story behind the song
This is about a man I was engaged to a couple of years ago.
Lyrics
Sit This One Out
Saturday night my friend come to get me
They're smiling, excited, a night on the town
We walk in the barroom, a place I need not be
I'm just a sad misfit, alone in the crowd.
Once was a time, I was happy and smiling
The jokes that you told me, kept me aglow
I still feel your soft breath, your arms wrapped around me
Sadness surrounds me, where did love go?
My friends hit the dance floor, they motion me over
They shake and they shimmy, they sing "Twist and Shout"
But I've found good company in a bottle of whiskey
Me and my bottle gonna sit this one out
There's a man selling flowers, comes up to my barstool
His smile turns to worry when he looks in my eyes
He hands me a long stem, says, "A rose for the lady"
Pulls out his kerchief, says, "Honey, don't you cry!"
Oh, I can't get over
The pain that still holds me, you won't leave my mind
My heart has been shattered, and I'm barely breathing
It's all I can do not to break down and cry
There's a man on the dance floor, he motions me over
Wants to know if I'd care to take a spin around
But the last thing I want is a poor substitution
Me and my bottle gonna sit this one out
Me and my bottle gonna sit this one out
