#newsongnovember 10 is here.
I should (🤞🤞) be caught up after tonight. Thank you for listening and sharing. I hope you’re enjoying these songs for I am enjoying creating them.

#newsongnovember
Is a one month challenge to write and share a new song everyday during November. My friend Lily DeTaeye came up with idea and this is her fourth year doing it. So please make sure you follow Lily as well. It seemed like a great exercise and I’m so excited to share it.
❤️

lyrics

-My Own Song- (Follow)

I am an only son from south Ohi’
I sing and play guitar, that’s how I get by
If I get famous, I hope it’s after I die
But if I get rich, I better be alive

Oh, what’s the preacher to think?
‘Cept that my soul is on the brink
My son you’re headed for the seminary
The straight and narrow path will absolve you of your sins
Don’t stray too far from the ordinary
Ask forgiveness and go

They try to tell me
But who really knows
‘Gotta follow my own song
Here’s how it goes, it’s like...

I am an only son from south Ohi.
I sing and play guitar, at least I try
If I get famous, I hope it’s after I die
But if I get rich, I better be alive

Oh, what’s a mother to do?
When her baby-boy is breaking all the rules
Baby-boy you’re headed for the cemetery
Chasin’ down a dream that will chew you up and spit
My only son, I will not bury
You’re always welcome home

They try to tell me
But who really know?
‘Gotta follow my own song
Here’s how it goes, it’s like...

I am an only son from south Ohi.
I sing and play guitar, all day & night
If I get famous, I hope it’s after I die
But if I get rich, I better be alive

Oh, what’s a father to say?
When his flesh and blood refuses to change
Young man you’re headed for the military
Where’s your respect for God & country?
Follow tradition, despite how scary
You’ll make us proud, ya know

They try to tell me
But who really know?
‘Gotta follow my own song
Here’s how it goes, it’s like...

I couldn’t tell you
I don’t really know
‘Gotta follow your own song
Show me how it goes, it’s like...
