Wrote This Song Instead

An original song by Mark Urso

I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
I got to learn to write a proper line
Locomotives are always good
And a harmonica can set the mood
But ain’t nobody going to listen If you’re complaining all the time!

Another original – Enjoy!




Wrote This Song Instead

I got tabouli on my toes
And a little on my nose
I got in a fight with my woman
About some things in the kitchen

I wrote a song, it was too sad
About some experiences I had
And when I put it to the music
I just couldn’t make it stick

Nothing like the Dead
Rest my aching head
I got ready to go to bed
But then I wrote this song instead

I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
I got to learn to write a proper line
Locomotives are always good
And a harmonica can set the mood
But ain’t nobody going to listen
If you’re complaining all the time!

I wrote a song, it wasn’t too bad
But it didn’t sound like Johnny Cash
… I gots to rest my weary head
So I just wrote this song instead

(Instrumental / Bridge)

Neverland, Peter Pan! (Remember Rip Van Winkle!)
And Dorothy fr The Wizard of Oz!
(Hey this is pretty simple!)

Snap your fingers! Clap your hands! <- (below)
Put your grouch in the garbage can!
I ain’t saying the blues is dead
But I done wrote this song instead!

Rat in a drain ditch (…Don’t tell my cat!)
Now he’s coming up for air (thinkin’ he’s all that)
Derek and the Dominos (line them all up in a row!)
Put them on the kitchen floor (then go “a-choo!”)

Snap your fingers! Clap your hands!
It’s simple I tell ya! (… you just got to understand!)
… Water blue … expanding sand …
… And now, I’m off to La La Land!

Snap your fingers! Clap your hands!
Put your grouch in the garbage can!
I can’t say the blues is dead
But I done wrote this song instead!
