The Leather Retirement Song

Just a song I composed after an argument with some friends about non musicians playing instruments (me), 4 chords based songs (this song) and foreign music style (i'm brazilian and it's kinda country).
I composed the song and wrote the lyrics just to make a point.
Hope somebody enjoys and sorry for the mistakes, for I am NOT a musician and NOT a native speaker (that is why I screw up the lyrics so many times while reading them.)
Thanks! ; ]


The Leather Retirement Song

Aching feet gone down the street
Roads, planes and all around
Lack of food, not the best mood
But got home all safe and sound

Against the odds, hurricanes and floods
I could make into my mind
The good girls caught all my merry thoughts
And there ain't not many to find

But my refrain goes...

Hey, hey, hey
Mary will get all the pieces shred away
Hey, hey, hey
Mary, oh Mary, marry me and stay!

Rubber or leather, on my hat a feather
Bringing luck from times long gone
Gettin' not better, fighting the bad weather
With war cries to sing along

Late lost love, memories to bury
By all ferries, trains or bus
"Let all chains or the things to worry
If you wanna be one of us."

And my last wish goes...

Hey, hey, hey
Mary will get all the pieces shred away
Hey, hey, hey
Mary, oh Mary, marry me and stay!

When the legs got tired, lost with friends all wires
Got in mouth that sour taste
After all the finds leaving up the tries
And with so few years to waste

It was no queen, not that girl so mean,
No mermaid or amazon
Not that teen with the softest skin
Mary came to be my sun

So my propose goes...

Hey, hey, hey
Mary will get all the pieces shred away
Hey, hey, hey
Mary, oh Mary, marry me and stay!
