Tried writing songs for a while, while I was in college. We were hardly a band ... just spent many lazy evenings on the terrace singing whatever songs we liked and strumming the guitar ... summer of 69 used to be a favourite with everyone I remember.
Today, in the middle of an otherwise busy day, suddenly a couple of lines came to me and I thought I'd jot them down ... see whether I still have the art ...
I love country music ... and this is meant for the Kris Kristofferson kinda singer!
Disclaimer: Please don't take the lyrics to be my personal status in life ;-)
I don't pretend to be a star
I am just a battered old stranger
In my run-down old car
And there are times when I slow down
And there are people who think they touch
But all they ever feel is ...
Maybe it is just I that don't feel so much
As I drag on a cigarette
I wonder 'bout the past
For my dreams now lie in ashes
All hopes stubbed out in the dust
:) nice
ReplyDeleteThanks ... I was beginning to wonder whether this would go down as the uncommented unsung song :D
ReplyDeleteoh no!
ReplyDeletenot unless i can help it :D
hey..nice lyrics..tune them up and let's hear them from you someday...music, guitar and singing - perfect way to be on your own..too bad, I left it mid way in life...Cocaine used to be my favourite when it came to strumming...
