Name it After You
I wrote it and AI helped me with a female voice singing it.
A few years ago, I wrote a song that, well, really wasn't intended for an audience of any sort, let alone publication. It was just something I did and after doing so, realized that I had inadvertently penned something that was meant for a female performer (the lyrics will explain that). Anyway, a friend of mine recently saw the lyrics and said, "you need to get a lady to perform that, if for no other reason, to see how it sounds."
Well, now folks, it's not like I have a list of female performers I can turn to, so this friend suggested I go to one of the free AI sites and ask them to have one of their female voices do it. Long story short, I did. For better or for worse, here is is.
Lyrics to the Song:
(Slow acoustic guitar intro, building to a steady honky-tonk beat)
[Verse 1]
I went out a-looking
For you again last night
And I found you right in the middle
Of a nasty barroom fight
[Pre-Chorus]
You drink a case of beer
Each and every day
Followed by a fifth of whiskey
No matter what I say
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna buy a barroom
And name it after you
After the way I've seen you drink
It's the least that I can do
[Verse 2]
That way when you tie one on
You won't have to stagger far
You can just drop down to your knees
And fall behind the bar
[Bridge]
No one will ever miss you
They'll never know you're there
And if you're looking for my sympathy
Well, baby, I don't care
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna buy a barroom
And name it after you
After the way I've seen you drink
It's the least that I can do
[Outro]
Yeah, the least that I can do...
(Fiddle fade out)
