I still think a soft lady version would work well. Nice song!

I am enjoyig the slides a lot in the guitar,runs, hammer on and pull off action. Honestly the instrumental parts sound rather well mastered, the vocals sound like they need ducking maybe? Just friendly advice! I really like it!

A wild little romp full of grit, groove, and good-time trouble. Southern rock meets country charm with a wink and a whiskey twist. Play it loud—this one doesn’t walk, it struts.

Goodnight

Lyrics by Lisa Gates, Music by Paul deMarco
This is a rough draft. I have added more lyrics for Verse two that will be on the next draft. 
 
Truth be told, I was wrong
I didn’t tell you no
I didn’t turn and go

You lived life with no cares
Drinking away your pain
Mem’ries of you remain

How you left me all alone
With haunted eyes from your lingering lies

Like the soft Tennessee wind
That whispered your name
Now that you’re gone
I’m moving on
On the soft Tennessee wind

Short instrumental break

Remember, when you laughed 
I knew something was wrong 
It's so clear now you're gone

Lonely path, without you
Following my big dreams
Mending my broken seams

Of how you left me all alone
With haunted eyes from your lingering lies

Like the soft Tennessee wind
That whispered your name
Now that you’re gone
I’m moving on
On the soft Tennessee wind

Never could see through all the love I had for you
Blinded by the lies you told yourself
So I’ll let this country air clear my mind
And put the past behind 

‘cause it’s the soft Tennessee wind
Calling your name again
But I know you’re gone
So I’m moving on
On that soft Tennessee Wind

This is our Time (Lyrics by James Anderson and Lisa Gates (Guzda) Melody by Lisa Gates (Guzda) Music by Simon Darveau)

I know it’s not easy
I know I’m too proud
To say I love you
To say it out loud

I’m willing to try
I’m willing to fly
To the moon and back
Into the pitch black

This is our time, listen to me
Don’t make a sound, we can be free
This is our time, hold on to me
Baby here in your arms, safe as can be
This is our time

I won’t wait too long
I won’t make it hard
Wanting to see you
I’ve traveled so far

I need to see you
I need to feel you
In my arms at last
This time it won’t pass

This is our time, listen to me
Don’t make a sound, we can be free
This is our time, hold on to me
Baby here in your arms, safe as can be
This is our time

Fate has brought us back together
Now we know that we belong
I never once forgot your charms
Look at me, hold out your arms

I know it’s not easy, 
I know I’m too proud

Song 3 for February Album Writing Month.

This is a love song, plain and simple. I know, this has been beaten to death over the years, and many images have been painted to the point where they've become cliches. But I wanted to think back on when I fell in love again. There's a lot of uncertainty. Does this person feel the same way I do? What do I say? How do I say it? What will they think? This song addresses the battle that wages whenever you fall for someone, with all the nervousness and wonder that comes with it.

NOTE: I say "jester" instead of "gesture." Oops...

February Album Writing Month 2019

With Open Arms

Oooh, Oooh.

I may be spent but it's a saturated feeling
When you collapse and
Your head is reeling
Filled with all the thoughts and complications from another day of life

I must be wicked since I haven't gotten rest 
I'm not the worst but
I'm sure I'm not the best 
I guess it boils down to who are are when there's nobody observing

Oooh, oooh

Sometimes you want to find the belly of the whale
A place to hide and
Be safe to fail
But all the hands are reaching, pulling you back to the place you can't escape

Compared to here, maybe Nineveh is better
I'm not a runner
But I'm a treader
Perhaps impending doom is all it takes to get somebody's attention

I'm close to stepping into your mind
I'm close to functioning again
I'm close to catching on to why you always do the way you do
I'm closing in.

Oooh, oooh

You've moved to color but I'm still a silent movie
The crazy music
It kind of soothes me
Still, it would be nice to make a sound when I bother to speak

Don't want somebody swooping in to tell my story
I'm not afraid for you
To get to know me
I won't be flashing brights out on the highway but I'll give you a safe ride home

Oooh, oooh.

I'm close to stepping into your mind
I'm close to functioning again
I'm close to catching on to why you always do the way you do
I'm closing in.

Oooh, oooh.
