Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #americana #altcountry

A super fast one. The idea was stolen, sort of, from Leadbelly. (Sorry Huddie.)

Lyrics

On a Monday in the morning
I massacred my mind
On Tuesday in the evening
I ran out of time
On a Wednesday after breakfast
I finally figured it out
But on a Thursday in the afternoon
I returned to living in doubt

And I ain't gonna be seeing any
Shooting stars tonight
Ain't no use in trying to get
Brooding hearts to fight
They're stuck in their own damn jail

On a Friday, I started singing
I sang the whole day through
On a Saturday I admitted
I was still missing you
But on a Sunday I regretted
Most the things I've done
'Cause on a Monday I was locked up
My sentence had begun

And I ain't gonna be seeing any
Shooting stars tonight
Ain't no use in trying to get
Brooding hearts to fight
They're stuck in their own damn jail
They're stuck in their own damn jail

Classic depression era Americana. Nice guitar work and the days of the week motif has its own impetus that drives us along to the end. Enjoyed this!

I like this a lot. I like the guitar picking, and the way the melody is kind of familiar but not quite, and I love the lyrics!
