Story behind the song
I liked the lick I was playing with and wanted to write a love song. I have a mini chorus as well which is designated by *. Chorus's are all instrumental at this point. I doubt I will change that. Recorded a Yamaha LL-16 12 string guitar with two AKG perception 170 sdc microphones modifed by Michael Joly. Used a Tascam US-144 MKII computer interface and recorded with Mixcraft 6. The vocal was done with an MXL R40 Ribbon mic also modified by Michael Joly. The percussion was done with an Alesis Q-25 Midi Controller.
Lyrics
Calico Girl Looking everywhere for my Calico Girl, When I find her I’m gonna give her a whirl Walking hand in hand is how I planned Against every suitor I will take a stand * I will gaze into her deep blue eyes A beautiful future I see arise Headed every day to the watering hole I’m confident I’ll complete my soul Chorus She’s the last piece to fulfill my heart Without her It will fall apart Don’t wanna wake up from my dream If she’s not there I will surely scream * In a crowded room I feel emptiness Pining for that girl to fill my nest My friends hook me up with girls for fun But a Calico girl, they just aren’t one Chorus Went with the boys to a country dive I was feeling disappointed and not alive They were interested in chasing dames In chugging beer and drinking games * I tried to be interested in this digress When there she was in a Calico dress My eyes froze upon the vision there She had alabaster skin and auburn hair Chorus We talked until dawn about everything She awoke in my arms and my heart did sing We felt a connection right away Seems like I had known her all my days * She introduced me to a gentler side It wasn’t long till she became my bride All I can say to this whole World Is don’t compromise, get your Calico girl. Chorus Chords used, G, Em, G, Aadd9 Chorus A, Aadd9, A, D
