Song Information:
This is familiar territory for us! The hard way... In Kelli's case, it's going out to open mics in San Antone and playing old-fashioned songs like this, for Jim it's taking Kelli's basic idea and fleshing it out with his own drumming. And bunches of other real instruments (only loops is a bit of Mexican Mariachi percussion towards the end) This one has been percolating for a while, and as we finish up our second batch of songs, it got discovered nearly done on the old hard drive and with a bit of polish, here it is!
Song Lyrics:
Maybe you got something to say
You got a new thing you want me to try
First you lure me to a cure and
bait a hook I'm not sure I'm ready to try
Maybe there is a better way
Im sure I could save a dime
and I'm sure it could be easier on me
but the time I'm wastin's mine
I pick the hard way every time
Well I know you intent to sell me
In subtle ways you tell me I'm not quite right
Try now buy now and surrender
some of your hard earned legal tender
and you'll fit in fine
Maybe there is a better way
Im sure I could save a dime
and I'm sure it could be easier on me
but the time I'm wastin's mine
I pick the hard way every time
Well the easy way aint so easy
And a short cutll get you every time
Oh the long way is slow and steady
But it gets you there every time.
Thank you and no you didn't close me
But you more than showed me what it might be like
but finding the key to my coffers
takes more than pictures and offers
You gotta make it right
Maybe there is a better way
Im sure I could save a dime
and I'm sure it could be easier on me
but the time I'm wastin's mine
I pick the hard way every time
