Yes folks, just what you were waiting for with baited breath. My last song attempt was so amazingly well written I've decided to broaden my horizons. And now... unveiling... a new country song... and only written in a couple minutes! Astounding, I know!
It's all gone
I woke up this evening,
disturbed in my sleep.
A smell wafted
on the cool midnight breeze.
I thought it might be smoggy
but the air was acrid and near.
I ran for the yard like a hunted deer.
The old homestead had stood for
about a hundred years
But the flames that reached higher than the roof
confirmed all my fears.
It had stood so long but no more.
Cause now it’s gone. Ohhhhhh it’s all gone.
Chorus:
Ohhh you think you may have it all.
But don’t take it for granted.
You never know when it will disappear.
Before you know it, it’ll up and go
and you’ll say like me – now it’s gone.
Yes, it’s all gone.
I got in the car to
warn my neighbors
but when I backed up
I ran over my cats.
The smoke had spooked em
and there they all were
All nineteen there were huddled
like pitiful bats.
The poor little darlings
had sought protection.
But in this world
things are so uncertain.
Their shelter had become their tomb
and now they’re gone. Ohhhhhh. They’re all gone.
Chorus
My Grandaddy’s car was old.
It ran on moonshine
Once it was daddy’s
but now it’s mine.
It was a green car.
Ahead of its years.
It was so reliable
we called it super gears.
But after running over nineteen cats
it couldn’t be in this world long.
Seventy years from its creation
and now it’s gone. Ohhhhh It’s all gone.
Chorus
I called my girlfriend.
She’d give me a lift
and help my unlucky fortune
to come to an end.
She looked me over.
My cat gut shoes
Smoke covered clothes and
no cool car to boot.
I’ve had better days I know it’s true.
She up and left me after three whole years.
You’d think she’d have stayed,
but now she’s gone. Ohhhhh. She’s all gone.
Chorus
I had a good life.
I was carefree.
There was the old homestead,
my grandaddy’s car,
cats, and my girlfriend
but now woe is me.
I wanted nothing else from life
that’s all I needed.
But now it’s all gone. Ohhhhhh. It’s all gone.
Chorus
