Turn of Century Charlie and Sue
Country rock then a ballad (the engineer forgot to split files apart)
Having fun after chores are done---if you'd like to do a version of the songs let me know---love to hear it
Story behind the song
Written for the Turn of Century and the way things are going down hill---rewritten a number of times
Lyrics
Ita€™s Come To Be (Turn of the Century)
(Medium Boogie)
(Guitar intro with the Twilight Zone Theme mixed in)
Verse 1
Now Ia€™m just a simple man I wanna make that clear
But there are some things in life that I consider dear
Ia€™m working at my job to build a better life
Ia€™m makina€™ sure my kids are tucked in at night
But things are goin crazy and I think ita€™s plain to see
I really hate the way that things have come to be
Verse 2
I like to see some women with a little more meat
I scorn those little skinny things, they really need to eat
Ia€™d like to grab a a€œtaggera€ and really tan his hide
And show him that graffiti paint it wrecks the countrya€™s pride
Now only boys and girls should be holda€™n hands
I hope they leave some forest standing on our lands
Verse 3
Cause Ia€™m just a simple man I wanna that make that clear
But there are these things in life that I consider dear
I working at my job and makin sure its right
Ia€™m makin sure my kids are tucked in a night
But things are goin crazy and I think ita€™s plain to see
I really hate the turn of the century
Verse 4
I wish the people on the net would go and get a life
I wish the politicians would sleep with just their wife
I wish the people drivin would just hang up the phone
There aina€™t nobody out there we really need to clone
Now hold the Cappuccino a a€œCup O Joea€ for me
I really hate the way that things have come to be
Bridge
Now hold on, hold on to what you know is right
Hold on, hold on, to what you know is right
Still things are goin crazy and I think ita€™s plain to see
I really missed the turn of the century
Guitar Solo
Verse 5
The years are flying by and theya€™re still a blur to me
I lie awake at night and wonder what the world could be
Will random acts of kindness show us where ita€™s at
Will our hearts be stronger by cuttina€™ out the fat
While things are goina€™ crazy and ita€™s really plain to see
Why I hate the way that things have come to be
Verse 6
Cause Ia€™m just a simple man I hope I made that clear
But these are the things in life that I consider dear
Ia€™m working at my job to build a better life
Ia€™m makina€™ sure my kids are tucked in at night
But things are goina€™ crazy and I think ita€™s plain to see
(Slow to end) I really hate the way that things have come to be (End)
