Story behind the song

They say write what you know from your life experiences.. This idea flew in the window this morning so I guess you could say it's "based" on a true story...

Lyrics

Ladybug

My broken heart, my guitar, and a frosty mug'a beer
Sittin' by my window, summer breeze to dry my tears
When a ladybug came flyin' by, deciding not to pass
Flew in through my window, and landed on my glass

Tossing back her spotted wings, just like a summer dress
She smiled and asked to share my beer, an I said OK, I guess
She took a good deep gulp, an said I shouldn't stay too long
But the truth is that I'm thursty and I really like your songs

Chorus
And I was writin' songs with a broken heart
Just playin' songs that made me cry
I was singin' songs to that ladybug
Who seemed to be quite happy
That the county wasn't dry

She flew up on my stereo, and she listend there for hours
Felt the least that I could do's, buy her more beer an flowers
She put on my headphones as I went off to bed
Found her in the morning, took her pulse an' she was dead

2nd Chorus
While I'd been dreamin' songs with a broken heart
Just dreamin' songs to make me cry
Dreamin' songs of a ladybug
Who'd seemed to be quite happy
That the county wasn't dry

Thank God the coroner confirmed, her death was not my fault
My heart still like an open wound, just couldn't take that salt
He told the boys at homicide, I had not a thing to hide
Told'm she'd been up too late, drank too much an' died 

While I'd been dreamin' songs with a broken heart
Just dreamin' songs to make me cry
Dreamin' songs with a ladybug
Who'd seemed to be so happy
That the county wasn't dry
