#newsongnovember 22 is here take it’s victory lap!

(I got knocked off schedule by something extremely important last night; I won’t go into detail but it involved a purring cat on my tired lap. So. I’m working on it.)

This song is about my childhood imaginary friend, Hootie Copner. He was the fastest race car driver you’ve never seen and this is his back story...


#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

-Hootie’s Song-
Well I’ve been logging in the miles
As an imaginary-best-friend-racecar-driver

Grandpa tore the family apart
Running moonshine and breaking bar-maids’ hearts
Daddy grew up mad and earned a Sheriff’s badge
Made damn-sure no more good times were had
Drove my first car at the age of 8
Trying to out run the law and grandpa’s fate
I had my sights on the checkered flag
Became so fast I didn’t even have to brag

I know they can’t see me
Because I’m just too fast
Some say imaginary
If you believe in that

Try to find me in the record books
It’s harder than you even think
When they wrote my official times
Always used invisible ink

I know they can’t see me
Because I’m just too fast
Some say imaginary
If you believe in that

I know there’s more to this life
Than shaving seconds off and winning the grand prize
There’s a boy on the other side of the track
Who’s got a ball and wants someone to toss it back

I know they can’t see me
Because I’m just too fast
Some say imaginary
If you believe in that...
