This song goes back a number of years ... original title was "Change of Scenery" but I think "No More You" fits better. Chorus is pretty much the same but this has seen a lot of rewrites over the years! Sent it last Fall to NSAI for evaluation and have rewritten with their suggestions. (I'm putting the original version below)
Country / female singer / No music yet
NO MORE YOU(c)(2007)
By Mary Lou Sudkamp, BMI
V1
I’m shakin’ you from my mem’ry
With the slammin’ of the door
Don’t tell me it was only once
I got tired of keeping score …
LIFT
And it’s too late now to beg and plead
‘Cause I know exactly what I need ….
CHORUS
A change of scenery
My faithful dog and me
Some clean fresh air
The sky so blue
And best of all
No more you!
V2
I’ve packed up my old Chevy
Changed the number on my phone
Left a note for the mailman
Destination still unknown
LIFT
There’re lots of places I’d like to see
Mostly anywhere that you won’t be …
CHORUS
Yeah, a change of scenery
My faithful dog and me
Some clean fresh air
The sky so blue
And best of all
No more you!
LIFT
And I left behind …
BRIDGE
The mirror with the image of you in her arms
Our picture in my favorite frame now shattered on the floor
CHORUS
Yeah, a change of scenery
My faithful dog and me
Some clean fresh air
The sky so blue
And best of all
No more you!
TAG Yeah, best of all, no more you!
Here's the original version:
NO MORE YOU(2006)
By Mary Lou Sudkamp, BMI
V1
I’m shak’n you from my mem’ry
Like dust from these old boots
No chance I’ll look back this time
I’m pullin’ up my roots
There won’t be any encore
‘Cause there’s one thing for certain
I’m startin’ fresh with no regrets
Your lies brought down the curtain!
CHORUS
A change of scenery
Might be just what I need
The open road …
A sky so blue
But best of all
No more you!
V2
I’ve packed up my old Chevy
My ol’ dog next to me
Destinations still unknown
Just places you won’t be
I’ll drive ‘til all those mem’ries fade
Of your cheatin’ and your flirtin’
I’ll shed no tears while shiftin’ gears
I’m finished with the hurtin’!
CHORUS
A change of scenery
My good ol’ dog and me
Some clean fresh air
A sky so blue
But best of all
No more you!
LIFT
And I left behind …
BRIDGE
The mirror with the image of you in his arms
Our picture in your favorite frame now shattered on the floor
The radio that somehow broke when it last played our song
The disbelief on your face when I walked out the door
CHORUS
Yeah! A change of scenery
My faithful dog and me
Some clean fresh air
The sky so blue
And best of all
No more you!
TAG Yeah, best of all, no more you!
