Clay Howard - Lost Cause (this song and me)

from Round 2, Week 12 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

about

Steve assigned a song that our parents would like....
In my defense, I think my parents are pretty cool and like most of what I do. ;)

I blanked on Monday, which is rare for me., then I wrote lyrics today, and threw them away...

so I just wrote what came out of my NEW guitar...( you have to write a song like this out of a guitar that looks like that...come on.)

I hope they like it. This new guitar didn't cost them anything...they'll like that.

lyrics

Lost Cause (this song and me)
©clay howard

i tried to write a song to my mother
a little song that she'd like
the empty sheet it started to smother
and i started to yell at my mike

it was a lost cause- a lost cause
try as I may or try as I might
a lost cause -a lost cause
a world away from the end and the light
a lost cause a lost cause
try as I may and try as I might
a lost cause a lost cause
i hope this is a song that she'll like

I tried to write a song to my father
a little song he might dig
the empty screen it couldn't be any farther
the hole was getting so big

it was a lost cause- a lost cause
try as I may or try as I might
a lost cause -a lost cause
a world away from the end and the light
a lost cause a lost cause
try as I may and try as I might
a lost cause a lost cause
i hope this is a song that he'll like

it might not be a song thats real pretty
but my heart is in this here ditty
so mom and dad if you two are listening
this songs for you - by me it was written

I tried to write a song for my parents
I plugged in and made me some noise
i had no good idea- its apparent
just sang along to enjoy

it was a lost cause- a lost cause
try as I may or I might
a lost cause -a lost cause
a world away from the end and the light
a lost cause a lost cause
try as I may and try as I might
a lost cause a lost cause
i hope this is a song that they'll like
i hope this is a song that they'll like
i hope this is a song that they'll like

i hope this is a song that they'll like
