Song Information:
Two new friends on iComp, brothers Paul (lyrics) and Ed (music), wrote this song and asked me to sing it. I'll let them explain the background of the song.
Paul: I always thought a "woman in a bar" had such neat dynamic to it, this is the first song in a trilogy on this theme. I wanted to write about a woman who was comfortable in her environment while being very desperate and lonely at the same time. Joanna really brought this woman to life on vocals, and Ed gave it the perfect coaster to ride on with his guitar and mixing. Thanks to all!
On iComp they are UncletupeloFan and enicholsIC.
Song Lyrics:
Another gin and tonic, please
Do you think I can bum a smoke?
Tell me that youve no disease
Or at least that nothings broke
You know, Ive never seen you in this place
Do you think I have a pretty face?
And if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me
And if you want to take me home, well thats alright with me
Momma worked the double shift
At the factory, mining salt
Was thirteen when I saw them drift
Daddy said, its not your fault
She doesnt mean all of those horrible things
Someday soon, youll fly away on golden wings
Hey, if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me
But if you want to take me home, well thats alright with me
They fought about who would keep me
Then betrayed me with a kiss
The next time they would both see me
Bandages on both my wrists
Packed up my memories on a Greyhound heading west
It feels good to get it off my chest.
And if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me
And if you want to take me home, well thats alright with me
Like a ship without a rudder
Im a kite without a string
Always landing in the gutter
So much for my golden wings
Lord, if youre out there, I could sure use a little hope
Im at the end of my rope.
But if you want to be alone, Lord, I sure understand
And if you want to take me home, please take me by the hand
Yeah, if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me
Hey, bartender another gin and tonic, please.
