It's hard to post this because it's so personal to me and really reflects who I am as a person, also because it's such a risky departure from my usual style but hopefully my bravery inspires someone else to songwrite.
"Rock Slide"
Genre: Country
[INTRO]
It’s nothing to break vows written on trees,
Bark scrapes off so easily,
To stop it all now would feel like a crime,
Hard to break promises forged over time,
[SPOKEN]
But you did.
Well, s
hit.
[VERSE]
You made me tile the wall in some stone I can’t spell,
You and the
Property Brothers can both go to hell,
I’m a man with no wife but now I’ve got a mission,
Your favorite part of the show was always demolition,
You wanna run around and do what you please,
You ended us, baby, but you’re still on the lease,
Whatever I do to this house you did to me,
So take a step back and watch me swing,
[CHORUS]
For better or worse, and honey it ain’t the first,
‘Till death do us part, but now you’re driving the hearse,
In sickness and health you couldn’t handle yourself,
And I’m sick of this house so it’s all just as well,
Now swing batter batter at the top of the sixth,
The field’s a little messy cuz’ it’s littered with bricks,
[VERSE]
We got French doors and counters and even a dog,
Guess I shoulda known that something was wrong,
No woman on earth can renovate that much,
When you called the contractor I noticed you blush,
You never seen me mad, yeah I’m angry a bit,
Half because you cheated and half cuz’ you quit,
Call the cops if you want while our house takes a hit,
Ain’t no law against breaking your own broken s
hit,
[CHORUS]
For better or worse, and honey it ain’t the first,
‘Till death do us part, but now you’re driving the hearse,
In sickness and health you couldn’t handle yourself,
And I’m sick of this house so it’s all just as well,
Now swing batter batter at the top of the sixth,
The field’s a little messy cuz’ it’s littered with bricks,
[OUTRO]
Now we’ve ended vows in stone and on trees,
Bet it’s hard to break up with a crazy like me,
But I got out my anger, now you have a nice life,
And I’ll pray for the next guy that makes you his wife.
