"Coffee City"

in #yows6 years ago (edited)

First post on Steemit. It's a song. A song that I wrote about a long bridge to the liquor store out in deep, piney woods East Texas. You cross a lake. Then you cross another lake. Anticipation builds as you get closer to the promised land. Beat up billboards escort you into Coffee City as soon as you come off that 155 bridge. Finally I am out of that damn dry

Here I come,
Coffee City, Here I come…
I'm all out, of Bourbon Whiskey,
Here I come…

You’re an angel on the lake,
on the line you sit and wait
Wait for me, Coffee City
Here I come…

I've got credit cards, to max out
Here I come…
I've been dry, for near a week now
here I come…

It's a long drive cross the bridge,
But I got to fill my fridge
I’m all out, so Coffee City
Here I come…

[CHORUS]

And it'll take time
to get to that line
But I swear, when I hit Kilo's
I'll be over it!

I'll have a big smi-ile,
Drivin’ the last mi-ile
Then I'll pop, the trunk
and fill it up with happiness

[SOLO OVER VERSE]

And it’s four, PM on Friday
Here I come...
And I'll stock up. like it's D-day
Here I come...

And their ain't no finer scene,
Drivin' cross 'ol Palestine,
straight across to Coffee City
Here I come…

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]

Yes I’ll pop, my trunk and fill
I’ll pop the trunk and fill
I’ll pop the trunk,
And fill ‘er up with happiness…

Thank you in advance!

These are the types of Steemit posts to avoid like the plague, btw..

Right on great song.. you may want to enter the weekly #openmic contest here on Steemit. Good luck and have a good week.

I tagged it for the openmic. Is that all I have to do?

You definitely should enter!! You have to actually go through a process of things before entering a vid into open mic... this video, while AMAZING, sadly wont qualify actually because you have to mention your username and the open mic week number in your video (at the very beginning, first thing you say) (to prevent others from stealing it and posting it as their own later).. You can enter a new song for this week though! Message me if you have any questions. : ) Are you on discord? I'm paintingangels(serena)#3668

Here's this weeks open mic announcement post.. you have till Friday to enter this week.. then the contest starts over again on Sunday. : )
