Worktape of a country song...all parts moi...some things can't be helped :
I'm just a guy who loves stories (hearing and telling them in short stories, , and songs). I have been writing and recording songs since the days of the old Fostex 4-track and ye old high school cover band and finally put together a project studio to "rough out some demos" in my 10 minutes a week of spare time.
Would love to collab with other songwriters and musicians to co-write and produce and bounce ideas off each other.
Story behind the song
I was never good with pick-up lines...
Lyrics
New Pickup Line
I had a crush on this girl Louanne
What I wouldn’t give to be her man
But though I tried every line in the book
She never gave me a second look
One Friday night after workin all day
I stopped for gas at the Circle K
I bought a lottery ticket—just for kicks
As fate would have it my numbers hit
(Chorus)
“Hey, baby, I just hit the lottery!”
That really piqued her curiosity
She saw me then in a whole new light
Prince Charming, I was Mama Mia Mister Right
She got thinkin bout diamond rings
Fancy cars and the finer things
I got me a new pickup line
The day I hit the lottery
------
We headed out in my big ol’ Ford
Just us two, like a lady and lord
She snuggled close and she held my hand
I worked the dials on the Citizen Band
She said, “I’d like you to meet my folks”
She got a big kick out of all my jokes
I was havin the time of my life
I thought of makin Louanne my wife
(Chorus)
I rolled us into the Sack ‘n’ Tote
For a Snickers bar and a couple of Cokes
I slipped the lottery ticket out with a ten
Said “It’s time to cash this bad boy in.”
She said, “You gotta be kiddin me,
I thought that you’d won the lottery”
I said, “I did, right here’s the ticket see”
She said, “That’s just a silly old quick pick three”
[Spoken, no music]
Well, I drove Louanne on home and, truth to tell, I didn’t think I’d ever hear from her again. She was cryin, I was embarrassed, but lo and behold…
She called me up a couple days later
Begged and pleaded with me not to hate her
Said she’s the one that hit the lottery
The big prize was … meetin’ me
She said, “I’d really like to see you bad
That was the best date I ever had
So even though you won just fourteen bucks
I’d like to take another ride in your truck”
(Final Chorus)
Hey World, I just hit the lottery
That really piqued her curiosity
She saw me then in a whole new light
Prince Charming, I was Mama Mia Mister Right
She got thinkin bout diamond rings
Fancy cars and the finer things
I got me a new pickup line
The day I hit the Quick Pick Three
