about

Bent-My homage to all my fellow blue collar boomer buddies and UAW workers everywhere. This tune came to me after watching a video on the lakefront AMC plant closing. The song's in E. I'm on double drop D ac. gtr. capoed to the 2nd, bouzouki capoed to the 7th, E tuned Strat for slide thru a cranked Vox AC15, Fender Rhodes ep, key bass, and kick and claps.

lyrics

LIKE MY RUSTBELT AUTOMOBILE
COLD I RUN LIKE HELL
BUT WARM ME UP, GIVE ME A KICK I’LL START
GOT DINGED UP AND DOUBLED DOWN
NO WORSE FROM WEAR
HEY I CAN SWEAR I’M STILL A KID AT HEART
SEE A MAN WHO’S HIT HIS STRIDE
AND AIN’T CLOSE TO SPENT
LITTLE WORN DOWN HERE AND THERE
ALL BROKE IN, BUT A LITTLE BENT
JUST A LITTLE BENT
HEAR THAT FRIEGHT TRAIN WHISTLE LOW
ADD SOME FACTORY NOISE
CLINKIN’ GLASS, AND A SEAGULL’S CRY
CHURCH BELLS RINGING’, CAR HORNS SINGIN’,
LAUGHIN’ LOUD FOR JOY
SIMPLE SOUNDS SPIN MY LULLABY
TO A MAN WHO’S HIT HIS STRIDE
( CHORUS )
WAS TOLD I HAD SOME PROMISE ONCE
SOMEWHERE THE PROMISE BROKE
NOTHIN’ HERE’S WHAT IT USED TO BE
PIPEDREAMS, PUTDOWNS, PRETTY THINGS
AND PEOPLE COME AND GONE
TOUCHED MY SOUL BUT TOOK A TOLL ON ME
LEFT A MAN WHO HIT HIS STRIDE
( CHORUS X 2 )
