Here is our latest co-write. Had lot's of fun doing this and special thanks to Scott--without his vocals and music this song would not exist.

Lyrics are below
Can’t Take It With You—Roger Sosnowski/Scott Miller


When I pulled up in a flaming red corvette
My kids all thought I’d lost my mind
Mid life crisis, finally gave into my vices
Too much workin overtime
Penny pinching time is done, gonna have some fun
Starting life over, calling’s this day one

Chorus

Cause all my life been  savin more and more
Not really sure what I was savin for
Don’t know when my final moment will come
So I might as well enjoy each one
Whether your singing songs with angels
Or fannin flames below
One thing’s for certain
Can’t take it with ya when ya go, go go,go go, go, go
can’t take it when ya go

Big ol mansion on the shores of the Hamptons
that 60 year old bottle of scotch
fancy diamond ring, or whatever’s your thing
Like brand new Rolex watch
Now I’m lookin at life in a brand new light
From now on—gonna do things right

Chorus

Cause all my life been  savin more and more
Not really sure what I was savin for
Don’t know when my final moment will come
So I might as well enjoy each one
Whether your singing songs with angels
Or fannin flames below
One thing’s for certain
Can’t take it with ya when ya go, go go,go go, go, go
can’t take it when ya go

Bridge

all life’s problems are too heavy to hold
Now it’s time to lighten the load

Chorus

Cause all my life been  savin more and more
Not really sure what I was savin for
Don’t know when my final moment will come
So I might as well enjoy each one
Whether your singing songs with angels
Or fannin flames below
One thing’s for certain
Can’t take it with ya when ya go, go go,go go, go, go
can’t take it when ya go

Great lyrics Roger and music and vocals perfect...
Its not often that I read lyrics and know that I can't improve them lol, but in this case I know IMO that you got it right.

God Belss to all Roy

Really nice hook on the chorus and overall just nicely done. Definitely would like to hear with a full production. If I'm forced to give a suggestion, consider trying to make it a bit more universal by not directly saying "mid-life crisis" or mentioning kids. Maybe just "my friends" all thought I lost my mind. The idea is to make it appeal to anyone feeling burned out on too much work or materialism, no matter the age or stage in life.

Roger,

Terrific write, very catchy . . . and nice performance. Tom Petty vibe to it . . . and someone else that I can’t quite put a name to . . . a 90s band sound to it—dunno. Ant has a nice suggestion, assuming you have commercial aspirations with this. And, yes, as strong as the performance is, I’d be curious to hear a full production. Excellent work!!

Kind regards,

Deej

Hi Roy,

Great to hear from you. Thanks for taking time to listen to this one and thanks for the kind words. If you can't improve on the lyrics then I know I did something right,lol. Take care my friend,
Roger

JAPOV.....

Dreaming about a flaming red corvette
Champagne and caviar on my mind
Mid life crisis or give into your vices
Tired of workin overtime
Rice-n-beans in the kitchen 'cause the mortgage is due
What my Momma always told me sure came true

'Cause all my life I've been wantin' more and more
Never really sure what I was workin' for
Everybody's final moment will come
So we might as well enjoy each one
Whether reachin' for the angels
Or fannin' flames below
One thing’s for certain
Can’t take it with ya when ya go, go go,go go, go, go
can’t take it when ya go

Big ol mansion on the shores of the Hamptons
that 60 year old bottle of scotch
fancy diamond ring, or whatever’s your thing
Like a brand new Rolex watch
Now I’m lookin at life in a brand new light
From now on—gonna do things right

Life’s problems gettin' too expensive to hold
It’s time to lighten the load

Really a good one
Well written pal.
