This one is hot off the presses.
Airhead by Anne Meredith-Will
copyright 2004
St. Patrick's Day was yesterday.
I forgot but that's OK.
I'll wear solid green today.
Who cares what the cool kids say?
I'm grown up now, but I forget
Rehearsal time, dog at the vet,
The kid I said I'd give a ride,
The reason that I went outside.
CHORUS:
I'm an air - head
I'm not brain - dead
At least not - yet
What was that you - said?
Time contracts, it expands,
Kind of like a rubber band.
That's how hours slip away.
I wonder what's for lunch today?
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I'm not punctual
I'm not dysfunctional
A periodical (Time)
Says I'm spirITual
Spir - it - ual
CHORUS

This is a fun song Anne! And you've given it a charmingly light touch! I love the bridge!
It's a song I can relate to - I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets what she was doing five minutes ago!

Definitely got a ...."I resemble this... chuckle".....Anne...Very cute. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) wondering on the phrasing of these two lines The kid I said I'd give a ride The reason that I went outside Did you want them to sound more Pennsylvania Dutch?....They sound fine to me and I know exactly what you're saying.......but thinking they should be more clearly worded? best to you this morning Anne...

Hi Diane & Kaley - Glad you liked this. I'm sure there are male airheads out there but they get to call themselves "absent-minded professors."
Kaley - I'm not sure what you mean about the Pennsylvania Dutch. I'll mull it over for awhile. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Kevin - Thanks. I wasn't sure about the bridge so I'm glad you like it. Anne

I added some punctuation to see if that clears up the problem Kaley mentioned. Of course, you can't sing commas. Anne

Anne,
Us airheadded guys get called "rocket scientists" too , besides absentminded.
I like the part about I'm an airhead - I'm not brain-dead. I'd say us guys could relate to this one, I did.

Here we are wracking our brains today
to write lyrics that rhyme
and if we succeed, they'll end up in time
as tommorrow's cliche's...

Ha! You made me laugh out loud, Anne. I love it. Just one small nit. Time contracts, IT expands, I like Ritt's comment, too. Clear headed, indeed!! ------------------ "Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you will land among the stars." -- Les Brown http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/triciabakermusic.htm
"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek

Thanks, Pete, Ritt and Tricia - I'm glad to see there are so many other spiritual people out there.
I like your suggestion Tricia - It will sing better.
Thanks for reading guys and Happy New Year!

Okay, Anne, let's not get sexist...we gentlemen can be just a spacey as you women-folk, and we don't even get the "blonde" way out of it!
Very cute lyric, kiddo!

Anne,
I love short, simple, well-done and light stories. this qualifies on all accounts...and a few others that I didn't mention.
And, BTW, thanks...you just gave me a good excuse to tell mt wife the next I "FORGET" (?) to do something she has reminded me of several times.
Very enjoyable read.!

Anne,
I can't speak for ALL songwriters, but I can for myself. I think I qualify!

They call me the Windtunnel. I'm trying to one up ya, Alan. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/wink.gif) ------------------ "Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you will land among the stars." -- Les Brown http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/triciabakermusic.htm

Tricia,
Okay, I'll give ya that one!
Actually, though, the definition I heard of Wind Tunnel is the effect you get of you line up ten blondes ear to ear! Guess that one will get me in a heap of trouble!
Hope this is your best year ever, Tricia. You deserve it...with all that talent.
Alan
