Lyrics

I don't want to be at this wedding
Watching as you walk down the aisle
It's easy to see what you think of me
Forgotten after a while

I don't want to be in the picture
You'll forget once you put it away
I don't want to be just a memory
Forgotten in a day

So let me thank you for the invitation
Thankyou for finally thinking of me
I wish I could show you my appreciation
For giving me another broken memory

I don't want to stand in the corner
Jealous of every single passing smile
Please don't look at me because I think you'll see
A lonely man in denial

So let me thank you for the invitation
Thankyou for finally thinking of me
I wish I could show you my appreciation
For giving me another broken memory

Oh yeah, this is definitely Hank. Nice job. You know, it could use a banjo.....

@gerrybhoy 2w

Good write nicely delivered lot's of sugar with just the right amount of acid.

@jeremykazoo 2w

This song captures a feeling so many people experience. It's silent sarcasm, showing up even when you don't want to.

@russkeys 2w

Nice lyrics! They really capture the feeling well. "For giving me another broken memory" is a great line.

@kayo 2w

Brilliant. Love the guitar walkups, the theme, and the take on the hankwilliamsinhell challenge (by far my favorite challenge name). Great track!

@jibbidy34 2w

Beautiful! Nice guitar work and vocals. What a great idea for a song! Imagery-rich writing. I was there every step down the aisle.

@franniezest 2w

this had me dancing in my seat while listening - really catchy melody - very enjoyable to listen to, plus a nice story-line to follow. great song!

@spinhead 2w

dunno why I don't think I'd ever have thought to rhyme 'smile' and 'denial' but there ya go.

nicely done. the imagery is very country, and the lyric feels simple and obvious, but looking back, it ain't so simple.

this hillbilly approves.

I enjoy doing these since @ductape put up all the progressions a few fawms ago. This has that classic feel that those progressions give, but it has a fresh sound as well. Nice song.m

@harsmuse 2w

Very Cool tune! Your guitar sounds beautiful!

@lmnomusic 2w

great “good old fashioned 3 chords and the truth” country tune! great story telling. the real deal.

@aeye 2w

Now I see this is actually a challenge. I had seen that tag popping up and wasn't sure what it was for. ( I should have known being here so long). I enjoyed it!
