I have been writing songs and fiddlin' with the guitar for years and years but only decided to put them together since my divorce. Now I am playing catch-up, revisiting these old (and some new) lyrics or melodies and finally bringing them together.
I have hundreds of melodies and lyrics...and now as I match them up and put them out there I slowly realize that this is what I should have been doing all along, before life got in the way.
Not looking at becoming a star but would like to write and record and perhaps market this vast collection of "music" I have in and around me and offer it to the world.
Thanks for the listen.

Lyrics
Loss Fer Words
Copyright 2013 OpenMikeMusic
v1
Tell me if I’m justified
to add a little blues to the
moral of my story,
it just might help get
my point across, while I’m at a loss.
v2
‘Cause I know I get mist-ified
when I hear music playin’,
blues notes say
words I can't convey.
What can I say?
ch
When Im atta loss fer words
listen closely to the song,
I wear my heart on my guit'ar strings
'cause it’s better than the hurt,
that flies right out my mouth,
if I can't find the right words to say,
so when I’m atta loss fer words,
just let me play.
Solo 1
v3
But now, when I play
I play the notes and sing the words,
not to hurt but only gauge,
what my heart incurs each day,
without you near,
but I'm still here,
.
bridge
it’s how I get my heart across,
or keep my mouth from going off,
yeah, perhaps I might be goin' soft,
in my later years.
Solo 2
ch
When Im atta loss fer words
listen closely to the sound
'cause I wear my heart on my guit'ar strings.
and it’s better than the hurt,
that dances off my tongue,
when I can’t find the right words to say,
when I'm atta loss for words,
just let me play..
