Folk, some Blues and light Rock influences, as well as Country.
Hi! Welcome to my page. First off, I am primarily a lyricist who occasionally composes his own melodies. That's why you'll see/hear some cowritten songs here. Secondly; I can't sing, even if my life depended on it, so I've posted Studio Demos. Third; I listed my songs as "country, general" but I hope you'll find a little more variety here than what you expected. My hope is that you'll find these songs Very accessible; Songs you can sing along with, Songs you'll know by Heart. ENJOY!!!

Story behind the song
Always been partial to John Prine's songs, and this was an attempt to duplicate his style. I think we nailed it....
Lyrics
Average Guy V1> I’m a drinker I’m a thinker and sometimes I cuss Not a wheeler or a dealer Hey I ride the Bus Got dreams I’ve got schemes but they’re average size Not a Pauper or a King I’m just an average guy Chorus> Wanna live out my life the best that I can And do little harm to my fellow man Wanna keep my nose clean Try to do what I’m told... And I’ll die when I get too old (Yes I will) I’m gonna die when I get too old V2> I’m a worker not a shirker and I carry my load Stay in Motels never Hotels when I’m on the road Life is fruitful I’m always truthful –Okay, I lied But I’m the salt of the Earth just an average guy Chorus> Wanna live out my life the best that I can And do little harm to my fellow man Wanna keep my nose clean Try to do what I’m told... And I’ll die when I get too old (Yes I will) I’m gonna die when I get too old Bridge> I never make waves and I don’t raise a fuss I do what I want if it’s what I must I never take risks as I’m sure you can tell I’m an average guy and I’m boring as Hell! Chorus> Wanna live out my life the best that I can And do little harm to my fellow man Wanna keep my nose clean Try to do what I’m told... And I’ll die when I get too old (Yes I will) I’m gonna die when I get too old (Revised) ©2005, Timothy D Brown and CowboySlim
