So this is what I was hearing Rob and Kay. Suggestions, help etc welcome





The Farm Team

Lazy days of summer brings our team out on the field
Everyone has favourite players getting all their cheers
on our own back forty farmer’s field of diamond dreams
every soul for miles around is jammed into the seats

Cows ain't chewin’ tobacco, far too busy with their cud
Chasing after flies and grounders scoop them in their gloves
Gus the Goose is rounding first he's flapping down the line
Where Bill the Bull is waiting for him squarely in his sights

chorus
chickens all have flown the coop, barn doors closed too late
when cows come home they will have shown they're not too slow to play
they're all on the back forty shagging flies like stubborn mules
you gotta love the farm team playing the all American game

The ump was calling balls and strikes his glasses on the fritz
Safes and outs were thrown about when anybody hit
Ducks quacked from the sidelines, dawdling waddlers dropping doos
T-bone adds some action to his slider with manure

everyone's got a role to play except the barnyard cat
she’s too busy sleeping, chasing mice, and the flying kind of bat

Billy Goat headbutts balls then kicks his can and runs
Thumper gets to hop to first it's hard to find his zone
No one wants to hit to shortstop everybody fears
The trusty family dog who's been shagging flies for years

chorus
chickens all have flown the coop, barn doors closed too late
when cows come home they will have shown they're not too slow to play
they're all on the back forty shagging flies like stubborn mules
you gotta love the farm team playing the all American game

there's only one place better on a lazy afternoon
that's with the farm team on the road to play the local zoo

Thats a nightmare , I got banned for breaking some rule I have no idea on . But my man still access to it and can load songs . Odd , I can not log on there , Also Email got hacked and stole wiped out whole channel.  Google , YouTube , Are billion dollar companies . But you can not talk to a human . Their thieves
Who knows . You **** are making billions, but you don't have human support ? your as bad as the **** IRS.

Let me a try a love song , Nope can't do it . You're on a pedestal. oh well back to outlaw stuff
All comedy central

It's very hard to work on these types of songs with story lines, makes me wonder how Bobbi Gentry wrote Ode to Billy Joe.......... cus that thing is a piece of art!

One of the best story tellers in music is Chris de Burgh....

Couch was always saying that you need to listen to and study the greats. He himself I believe emulated Dylan as best he could and does well IMO..

Are you referring to couchgrouch? 

Anyway, yeah, I always go back and study songs I love and ask myself, why do I love it so much, how come it's memorable?  Why is the melody so great?

Study others and then mix your thoughts in with great craft. I totally agree!
