Found a really strum-friendly chord progression that I've just been loving playing. Decided it was time to songify it. Some inspiration from Billy Joel, Bo Diddley, and a few others tossed in there. This was just super-fun to play!

LYRICS:

She comes down on a summer day
With a beau on her arm and a bottle of JD
There's a smile on her face that don't reach her eyes

She cuts down on sympathy
As she cracks open the bottle and turns to face me
The whole whiskey thing it's coming as a surprise

And she's like, wooo
You got this penchant for old things and memories, wooo
And it's just plain out of style you see, and it's like, wooo
You shoulda done way more to impress me now, wooo
But this world's way to old for me

And she's like,

You gotta go it alone for a while
There's gotta be someone who can make you smile
But that someone just ain't never gonna be anything like me

And I'm like,

You've got it all figured out, I guess
But there's something out there you haven't addressed
And that's why I love old things and memories

And I'm like, wooo
I've got this penchant for old things and memories, wooo
And they're just plain out of style you say now, wooo
But I won't be anything else after tomorrow, wooo
They're all that's left of today

And I'm like, wooo
I've got this penchant for old things and memories, wooo
And it's easy to say that they don't mean a thing, wooo
But they're all that can take to tomorrow, wooo
They're all that's left of today
