about

A songwriter can be cursed with songwriting. Let's face it, it takes a lot of time and in order to find a good tune, you must write a bunch of crappy ones. The crappy ones take a lot more time than the good ones. Time away from family. I've seen songwriting ruin some families. I’ve seen truck driving do the same and banking and unemployment.

lyrics

This Song Won’t Write Itself
From Distraction Packed by Todd burge

Got a long list of things to do
Probably like the one that you have too
Piling up, weighing me down
Snowballin’ and growing down a mount
Holes to fill, walls to paint
Head is spinning, feeling faint
Mouths to feed, things to think and say, okay

Pick up the kids from camp and hose them down
Try and keep them from tearing our double mortgage down
Watch them grow, buy more clothes ya know
Hold them tight and hope time moves slow
Bed them down, wake them up
Grind the offee fill our cups, sip it up and up and up

But, this song won’t write itself
And this sunny day just kick starts my muse
This song won’t write itself
And my list of things to do does nothing but confuse
This song


I’d like to get together you and me
Some off the cuff day when were feeling free
Find some shade, some sandy beach
I’ll smile at you, you back at me
Make a toast to us and pound that drink
Live and love so hard, create a moment so grand
We just won’t have to think

Chorus

Since you went away I miss your kiss
I miss our home I miss the kids
I miss the smells the sights the sounds
I miss all the moments I always missed
I miss my list of things to do
They all revolved around my life with you

But, this wrong won’t right itself
And this dark and lonely day just jump starts my muse
This wrong won’t right itself
And my old list of things to do must be with you
And I’m hoping it’s getting done by someone who is true
