Street light

Original Song by Jeff Isom. I recorded this around new years, But wasn't satisfied with it, But listening again today, I said what the heck, Let it fly. So here it is. I think I will do it again, or post the first attempt at this, recorded the same day, with a few more mistakes, and messed up lyrics. So you can compare. Thanks for listening.. Jeff

Street light shinning down
warming up my bed
Street light shinning down
makes me feel all alone
street light shinning down
turns the darkness into dawn

It's time to get up now
and walk around this town
lookin for any handouts
and a place to lie down
standing in those welfare lines again
you know almost all the time
makes me feel less of a man

it's time to get up again
and walk around this one horse town
watchin all the peoples running around
they act like they know where their going
and what it is they are supposed to do
they still have to pay
what kind of life is that anyways

So where do we go from here
why doesn't the president make that clear
what to do with the homeless people in dispair
how much more do the good taxpayers pay
while all of the helpless people pray
that maybe someday they will all have it their way

Great songwriting Jeff. I love the note you hit in the chorus and how you almost talk the verses. It creates a neat dynamic between the two.

@borntobefiled Thanks Amanda, It's funny, because I havn't really worked on this one, since i downloaded it from my head recording this.. It was just the mood I was in that day..

@borntobefiled Oh you mean the note I almost hit?.. I can hear you singing along with this, and nailing it..He he..
