GETTING LEGLESS
v Won't find me at home though you'll see my car Parked on my driveway while I'm at the bar Tend to drink a lot have a real good time friends say I've lost the plot for a guy in his prime c Getting legless getting drunk Not remembering how low I've sunk Getting legless a dancing fool Getting legless pretending I'm cool v left me for another guy better looking than me That's hard to believe but at least i'm free Keep telling myself I'll change my ways then starting tomorrow you might hear me say b Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life (blows a raspberry) Well you ain't kidding, is that right? c2 So I'll get legless get blind drunk So i don't remember how low I've sunk Get legless a dancing fool Get legless pretending I'm cool
c1 Getting legless getting drunk Not remembering how low I've sunk Getting legless a dancing fool getting legless pretending I'm cool

Hey Travis,
cool hook. Story seems good, and the writing is tight. I am a bit curious about the two choruses to finish out the lyric. In particular the evolving one.
I'm not crazy about the line "That's hard to believe". Sounds like the guy's pretty sold on himself, lol.
Again, nice write and a good story!
David

Blowing a Raspberry Blowing a raspberry or strawberry or making a Bronx cheer is to make a noise signifying derision, real or feigned. It is made by placing the tongue between the lips and blowing, making a sound redolent of flatulence. In the terminology of phonetics, this sound can be described as an unvoiced linguolabial trill . It is never used in human language phonemically (i.e., to be used as a building block of words), but it is widely used across human cultures. From somewhere on the net Mike

Hi Travis,
You painted a very colorful picture -- I can see him now -- LOL!
I admit that I had to Google "legless" -- I had never heard the term before! In case there's anyone else like me around, you could say:
Getting legless THAT MEANS drunk
I don't know -- just a thought!

Hey Travis -- I've been asking around and no one has heard of "legless" as a drunk thing, but everyone thinks it's funny and makes sense! LOL! -- Lisa

Next time you visit these shores I'll give you a running commentary of all things British and you can do likewise for this Brit who'd love to visit the USA! Cheers Lisa. I'm off for a glass of vino.Legless was in my youth-and that was many moons ago. Travis

I really appreciate a good "getting dumped" song. I do like the way you are thrifty with your words, including the self punishment. Don't change anything. Good the way it is! People look at my music and say nothing...maybe I'm just not good enough yet. Haven't figured it out yet I guess. Looks like you have! Good job! http://www.reverbnation.com/thedifferenz/song/19981428-canopy
