Alabama Waterfall
© words and music by C. Stewart ( Jan 11, 2018
)

We live out here
In this old bus
Wife and the dogs
All nine of us

Hair is a flowin'
Down my back
It's all grey where
It used to be black

CHORUS......
Hey, ya'all
I got a Alabama waterfall

Alabama Waterfall
Nothin' on the side
Some call me Merle
Some call me Clyde

I drank my paycheck
Lost my car
Guess I left it
Down at the bar

Hair is a flowin'
Down my back
It's all grey where
It used to be black

Repeat CHORUS.....

I like Willie and
I don't like rap
Take a few tokes
It's time for a nap

Hair is a flowin'
Down my back
It's all grey where
It used to be black

Repeat CHORUS.....

I think an appropriate response is LOL.

Where does it all come from?

Vic


It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

Fun eclectic southern kinda song with a sparse arrangement that keeps you focused on the lyrics.

The lyrics are the high point of this song. I would have liked the drums to reach out and hit me a bit harder in the mix (the cymbals are fine).

You mix want to consider more reverb EQed with some of the highs cut to give it a dark sound. I am not sure how it would sound but I am hearing a "Blacksnake Moan" kinda vibe in this. It might be fun to play around and see how it sounds (not a crit just something I am hearing).

Off the beaten path to be sure!

Peace,
TC


If it has strings I will find a way to play it!

Oh my goodness, LMAO!

You done it up.

Some call me Merle, some call me Clyde. Two of many aliases I am sure.

This might be my new fave.

HBO or Netflix has got something coming up that needs this for the series intro. I dunno what, but sum'thin.

One of my life's little pleasures is seeing that you posted up a new song Calvin.

Calvin,

I think Martin nailed it--sounds just like a song that accompanies the opening credits of cutting edge TV show. Just a great piano riff that pulls this all together. Sweet!

Winner, winner... Chicken Dinner:

Calvin... I think you've done some of your best work with "Alabama Waterfall." If you have "avenues or inroads" into the hallowed halls of any of the Nashville "Labels"... Toby Keith could make you a very wealthy man with this one.

I can hear this thing "tearing up the listeners" on a good "Country Radio Station" not associated with "Clear Channel"... or whatever disguise they use these days. Thanks for providing me with some of the best entertainment I've heard in a week. Pure genius, Mr. C! ----Dave

Hey another good one Calvin.

I really like that part panned to the left... sounds like electric guitar or something...

Good idea to carry it through out the song.

I saw the title and your name and thought, "Is Calvin actually writing something about a waterfall in Alabama?"

LOL - you got me.

I actually had to google this to find out if it was a real thing or something you made up. grin

Very funny, Calvin grin

We could hear this as the credits from a series like Justified rolled by.

You have an obvious penchant and talent for writing cool off beat lyrics but you also have a knack for building the perfect backing tracks for the lyric, vocal and overall feel.
