Catchy little one-off chorus, been-done-a-thousand-times lyric, but a once in a million vocal performance
songwriter
Humble Country Songwriter.
Just a humble songwriter. First and foremost, a Tune-smith, I suppose. Yes, somehow, melodies just pop into my head, from, like, nowhere, man! Of course, to turn a melody into an actual song, it has to have a set of lyrics - but lyric-writing, for me, is more like "work". Contrast that with composing a melody - man, its such a buzz when you think you've come up with a half-decent new tune.

Story behind the song
Does there have to be a story behind every song? It's very simple - the chorus just popped into my head, I then had to sit at the keyboard for 10 minutes to work out a bit that fits (called the verse) and then I had to have a couple of beers and come up with a lyric to fit the melody. If this was a job it would be the best job in the world!
Lyrics
Chorus Well I ain't gonna get there By sittin' down and cryin' Well, I know I'm gonna wear out my new shoes Don't know when I'm gonna get there But there sure ain't no denying That I'm GONNA find an answer to my blues You know my blues wake up beside me every mornin' You know my blues just stick around all through the day Plays on my loneliness inside Can't make it through another night So Mister Blues you'd best believe me when I say Chorus Well lookin' back I can't believe the way I hurt you I only carried on the once - but hurt you bad So now I lie alone at night Can't sleep for how to put it right Its only NOW I know exactly what we had Chorus Could be a lonely back street bar off Drifter's Alley Don't matter where it is - my faith won't be denied Were gonna take me for your wife I make just one mistake in life And I got miss-you-something-awful blues inside Chorus
