WHY I COULDN’T WRITE THIS WEEK

A

MY FRONT TOOTH BROKE OFF

E

THE DENTIST UP AND QUIT

D

I TRIED TO GLUE IT BACK,

E                               A

IT DIDN’T SEEM TO FIT.

A

THEN HAD TO GO TO TOWN

E

MY CAR BATTERY WAS SHOT

              D

WHERE’D I PUT THE CHARGER?

E                                      A

SHOULD I HITCH-HIKE OR NOT?

CHORUS:

A

EXCUSES, EXCUSES

D

FILL MY HEAD……

E

AS MY BODY SITS.

A

AND MY BUTT IS FULL OF LEAD.

A

 THEN A BEAT-UP TRUCK STOPPED,

E

 THE DRIVER HAD BAD BREATH

D

ASKED WHERE I WAS HEADING

E                                          A

HIS STARE SCARED ME TO DEATH

A

I TURNED AND RAN HOME QUICK

E

HEART POUNDED IN MY CHEST.

      D

      TRIED TO CALM DOWN

      E                                             A       

      FOR DAYS COULDN’T REST.

CHORUS:

A

THIS WEEK HAS BEEN A MESS,

E

GOT NOTHING DONE AT ALL

D

‘CEPT I BROKE MY TOE

E                                    A

PLAYING RACQUETBALL.

A

HAD A FENDER BENDER

E

BURNED THE BARBECUE

D

NEIGHBORS DOG DONE BIT ME,

E                                    A

MY PAYCHECK’S OVERDO.

CHORUS:

A

TORNADO RIPPED THROUGH TOWN,

E

WINDS BLEW ME FAR AWAY

D

I ENDED UP SO LOST

E                                            A

TOOK DAYS TO FIND MY WAY.

A

NOW SITTING DOWN TO WRITE

E

NO IDEAS IN MY MIND

D

I PLAN TO WRITE A WHILE,

E                               A

A STORY OF SOME KIND.

CHORUS:
