This is the first song I did at my open mic career that I started this past July. I call it my "Crazy Heart" type tune. OK, that guy was from the southwest desert, this guy's from the mountain. My guy drinks scotch -- he drank McClure's' whiskey -- other than that -- the same!

I really like it, but it is tough for slower songs to go over well live unless you sing really, really well. This one is at 80bpm and I was thinking of re-doing it at 75bpm to allow better phrasing -- but I left it at is. When I do it with the just the guitar/vocal, I think I add extra beats here in there to make it smoother. That BIAB drummer insist on keeping that 4/4 thing going!

Hey Yea
(c) Emmrich 2010

(verse)
Black clouds rumbling over the
mountains from the west
cold stinging rain hounds me
like an unwelcome guest

(verse)
drive in for scotch, park
wishing I could see your face
the smells of spilt beer and popcorn
gonna have to take your place

(chorus) (I said ...)
hey, yea, why didn't you hold me 'til the end
Now I need the touch of my one true friend
It once was easy to please me
or soothe me with booze
now I'm trying to stall this here life's free-fall

(verse)
saw dust, dance floor, yellow dress
laughing 'till dawn
breakfast frying, cat crying
we loved 'till we couldn't love no more

(verse)
Long distance, you in my mind
thunder, then lights go on and off
I guess I'm just a poster boy
for the lost cause of love

(chorus again)

(bridge)
Soon the storm rumbled by
Life’s a jumble of messed up tries
but somewhere out there
brokenness can still be repaired

(chorus again)

(Tag)
Ya know, your number's still on my wall
I think I'll give you a call.
