Just me...I get all the fame and all the blame.

Hello, These recordings are all me. Yep, I get most of the credit.......and all of the blame. I've posted some demos for you to check out. Some are complete, some are not complete. Just some tunes recorded in my basement one part at a time. I play all the instruments and sing all the vocals myself.

Lyrics

John Prine
Written by Dale L. Woolard
©2006
I woke this morning, I’m gonna write me a song
But everything I write, seems to come out wrong
So I look ‘round my house, for something to say
But I forgot what I was doin’, so I picked up my guitar to play

(chorus, guitar only)

Well now that that’s over, let’s see what else comes out
It’ll sound real inspired, of that I have no doubt
Well I sat down at eight, and now it’s almost noon
Who’d a thought it’d take this long for me to write one simple tune

(Chorus)	
Maybe I’m tryin’ to hard to make it rhyme
make the melody right and to be in time
make it sound real cool, just like John Prine
but it doesn’t, I wish it did, but it don’t.

Now I won’t give up, no I can’t give in
So I pick up my guitar and pencil, and I start again
I just need an idea, something to pop in my head
I hope I can write this song before I have to go to bed

(Chorus)	and repeat last line
