my newest one, written in character...
Open Letter to a Friend
"Hey man, howsit going?
tell me how you've been
the whiskeys been flowing
and yeah I'm drunk again
Funny thing just happened
just came from my girls place
You know what she told me.
I see it in your face
You know I've seen it coming
I've felt her slipping away
I kept lying to myself
trying to hide from this day
I guess I should thank you
for treating her so kind
I've seen the change in her
worries lifted from her mind
Well my friend, I thank you
no more burdens on my mind
well my friend, I'd hit you
but the whiskeys left me blind
She's at the doctors now
gotta hope it aint twins
then she's off to the preacher
he'll soon know about your sins
So hey man, howsit going?
no need to tell me how you've been
so she didn't tell you that?
now I see you're not so keen...
but you know what she told me?
you know what she said?
said she loves you, said she needs you,
but I'd rather see you dead...
She loves you?
She needs you?
and I'm letting her go...."
