Try at some "contemporary country" writing. Trying to use different meanings of "ring". Pretty cool co-write (to me).
FDP Jam Tracks
This band page is going to be used for all of the jam tracks that have been posted by the FDP users at the "Home Recording" section at FenderForum.com. Check it out. Folks lay down basic bass/drums/guitar/effect tracks and allow users to add guitar and other parts. Pretty cool.
Story behind the song
Trying to use different meanings of "ring". Contemporary country (or so I hope). Pretty cool co-write.
Lyrics
Waiting On A Ring
(c) Emmrich, Bain 2010
(verse 1)
old jeans, new phone
his ring is her favorite tone
sends him a text, “don't forget to call”
dances ‘cross the room, kiss his picture by the bed
sometimes she can't get him outta of her head
she waits, sipping her red bull through a curly straw
(Chorus)
It's music to her ears
When he calls her cel and says,
soon i'll be right there
listen for that doorbell
i want to hold you ...... tonight
she got a gleam in eye
and a cute little grin
she can't wait till she sees him again
yea, she's waiting on a ring.
(verse 2)
Dorm rooms, four years
he makes her so happy it brings her to tears
says he's got something special planned for tonight
she knows he's been shopping, at the mall
Soon he’ll walk down her apartment hall
she waits, knowing he loves her with all his might
(chorus again)
(Bridge)
Her parents call, she says
“Mom, tonight could be the night”
The timer chimes for his favorite meal
“I gotta go, I want to make everything just right”
(chorus and outro)
