https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13640457 Here's a new old one-- might be likeable Names There used to be this bully on my way home from school He taunted me called me names, sometimes he would throw stones One day I picked up a Hickory stick, Put that bully on the run I never let anyone call me names until you came along chorus 1 You called me Darling and I must admit that took me by surprise Never had anyone call me that, no one with such big brown eyes And I will love you for forever, that's one thing that will never change You called me Darling and I want you to know, I love the way you call me names v2 Years go by in the blink of an eye, God bless our family Seems like only yesterday I was buying your diamond ring Now honey I hear the baby crying I'll go and see what's wrong Think you'd better come here quick, she's trying to say something chorus 2 She called me Daddy, it's a miracle, that took me by surprise Never had anyone call me that, no one with such big brown eyes And I will love her for forever, that's one thing that will never change She called me Daddy and for the rest of my life, Daddy's gonna be my name Bridge And if someday, some brown-eyed boy says,"Grandpa is there a Santa Claus?" I will smile through tears of joy and know I got my name because... Repeat Chorus 1 Outro There used to be this bully on my way home from school Pete Gallatin, 2004, all rights reserved

Hi Pete,
What a great hook--and the way you set it up with the bully in V1 was totally unexpected and refreshing. and you carry out the overriding idea (of being called names) wonderfully to the end. The song has a kind of Millsap or Twitty sweetness to it but would do well in any era I bet.
Mike

Hi Pete.
Nice old fashioned classic country tune for sure! Nice evolving story. Production-wise, I'd reduce the volume on the snare rim shots during the verses a wee bit-JMO. Like the return to the beginning at the end!
steady-eddie . Thanks Eddie, I think you're just a wee bit right on those rim shots. Your last comment has my mind going in circles. Ah Dios! .....Pete

That's a great idea for a lyric Pete! Nice one. Wish I'd have thought of that. Music is a good fit - meaning country  Thought I heard clipping on the vocals now and then. No one else mentioned it though so it might have been my buds. Scott
