Where is the song? i'll look at it in the morning. I just sat through four hours of the WORST songwriting contest I have ever seen. 14 writers, all guys, not ONE were even worth voting on. Talk about trying to find the best of the worst. i am so fried from that, I can't see straight.
The song, OD, is called "Be yourself, everybody ELSE is taken." which is a line that came off the top of my head one time when I was writing with two women from Minneapolis. I was kind of frustrated with them after sitting around for an hour trying to find something to write. Was just a joke.
I rarely do the song but I like it a lot. The second verse is:
She's the Resident country club Cougar
49 but Dressing like 22
Thinks tipping the valet $25 bucks, leads to a midnight rendevous
Began her plastic adventure, about fifteen years ago
If she keeps going the way she's going
She'll be the last to know
When she gets poured out of those painted on jeans
She'll see the effects of Gravity
BE YOURSELF, EVERYBODY ELSE IS TAKEN
GET ON UP, GET BACK IN THIS CENTURY
SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
THINK ABOUT THE NOISE YOU'RE MAKING
BE YOURSELF, EVERYBODY ELSE IT TAKEN
This might be a little wrong, I'm having to do it from memory. About 8 years ago. I can't find the lyrics anywhere. Just laughing about people who don't act their age. I think we're all a little bit like that here.
