This is my idea for this lyric I penned. I'm lookin for someone to collaborate and bring this song to life. Any consideration is greatly appreciated.
IF YOU LIKE FRIDAY© 2025 by Wes Tibbets
Key of C, Upbeat modern country style
[Verse 1][C] Sun’s goin’ down, we're [G] turnin’ it up[F] Coolers are packed, [C] tailgates are up[C] Got a backroad beat and a [G] full red cup[F] We’re all in, ain’t [C] nobody lettin’ up
[Pre-Chorus][Am] It’s that kinda night, [F] when the world feels right[G] Good vibes rollin’ in the [C] firelight
[Chorus][C] It’s Friday night, we’re [G] feelin’ alive[F] Crankin’ it loud with our [C] hands to the sky[C] Moon’s hangin’ high, we’re [G] just gettin’ started[F] Dancin’ in dust where the [C] good times started[Am] Put your hands up, [F] hands up, [G] hands up[C] If you like Friday
[Verse 2][C] Speakers thumpin’ under [G] neon stars[F] Boots in the dirt, [C] hearts in the bars[C] Laughin’ loud, singin’ [G] every word[F] Nothin’ but country and the [C] freedom we heard

Your Pre-Chorus has to 'lift', letting the listener know you're getting to the Chorus.
Your Chorus has to have 'contrast'. It can't sound just like the Verse.
Verse is C G F C C G F C.
Chorus is C G F C C G F C Am F G C
Very similar. Chorus has to have its own distinctive Melody.
I moved some words around, made some changes. Play through it and see if it can work this way.

I'd be interested in hearing someone sing and play it. I've broken my hands a lot over the years and can't play very good because of it. I have stubby short fingers too. I'm a great disc jockey but a lousy musician. I picked up the guitar a few years ago and learned to read and compose but I can't get through the first verse without screwing up. And I couldn't sing to save my life. My compositions are rudimentary at best. I'm certainly not a professional. I have a little muse in me but that's about it. I appreciate the input. Thanks a lot!

Wesley,
I suggest you get a free account on Suno, and experiment. DO NOT post this lyric or any that you care about unless you you have a paid account, but if you check it out and like it, that is a GREAT place to hear it like a hit artist produced it. The free accounts are for you to learn how it works, but you do not own or have rights to what it produces so if you LOVE the result you can only listen to it yourself, you can use it commercially.
If you need more info, let me know. I have been working with it for 6 months and it is incredible and perfect for demos and a lot of fun!
Brian

Brian,
That is awesome! I love that. Finally for once in all the years I've been writing, I can put my words into the song I hear in my head. Maybe not exactly like it. But awful close. Thank you so much!
