Just a song I found on an old computer that I'd recorded years ago. Recorded on an 8-track, 1 take per each part, played all, sang all, wrote the vocal melody as I was singing it for ther first time while recording.

Story behind the song
Saw some apparently homeless guy walking around town, just had his guitar on his back, but the guy certainly looked happy.
Lyrics
Walkin down the street, lookin scruffy and scary,
worn shoes on his feet, face all dirty and hairy.
Carries all he has with him, guitar slung across his back, plays for his existence, don't care about what he lacks.
Some people say, he shouldn't live this way,
content with his lot in life.
No worries, never in a hurry, plays his songs all day and night.
They say no one wants to be like Guitar Moe.
No one would want to be in his shoes.
Who in their right mind, would want to be Guitar Moe, you can call me crazy, but sometimes I do.
Mindin his own business, strolling the streets one night, he sees a bunch of thugs, threatening some little kids with a knife. He steps in and saves the kids but thugs slice his wrist with the blade.
Now his ability to play is forever changed.
Maybe we should all be a little more like Guitar Moe. No one would want to be in his shoes.
Who in their right mind, would want to be Guitar Moe, you can call me crazy, but sometimes I do.
