I'd been struggling trying to write a tune all day... Totally wigging out, I was half afraid I'd have to call it a lazy day. It wasn't writers block, I just was totally uninspired. But the catch was, I'd promised my girl that I'd be sure to write a tune today.
So I did everything I could, tried all my methods. Attempted to avoid other music all day, (though Say Anything got to me in the end) and I even took a second shower (I write everything in there). But to no avail, all I'd come up with was choppy and boring.
And then I realized why I'd worked so hard in the beginning... My baby. Once I had that, it all came spewing out on its own, and basically wrote itself. Tune's very Buddy Holly, very early 50's rock and roll. It's super dixie/graceland, and I love the sound.
Too Far To Visit, But It’ll All Work Out
My baby too far to keep in touch, My baby too far to even touch,
It’s a shame, it’s a shame, it’s a shame. Oh, what a pain. It’s a shame, it’s a shame, it’s a shame. Oh, what a pain.
My baby too far to take to dance, But we get by in this romance. And I’m saved, and I’m saved, and I’m saved. Keeps me sane. I’m saved, I’m saved, I’m saved. Stay humane.
We got our share of problems, Don’t get me wrong. But this is just the summary, Contained within the song. We got our party on!
I’m in a: Long-Distance relationship. The kind you read about. Sorta’ thing you’d pick apart, When you got nothing to talk about.
Long –distance relationship, long-distance relationship, long-distance relationship.
But I love, Can’t get enough of it. I’m at the summit of affection for her.
And you can call me sad, Might see me as mad, But I still got the perfect girl somewhere.
So you can call it bad, Refer to it as a fad, But I still got the perfect girl somewhere.
