Greetings Fellow Steemians!

I hope each and every one of you had a great holiday season. My partner, kids, and I had one last bit of adventure the last weekend of 2017 as we drove 10 hours to pick up her new Party Yorkie Oliver Alexander Murphy. The last night in the motel room I was writing this song on New Years Eve while someone was breaking into my truck in the parking lot. Hell of a way to ring in the new year, but luckily all he stole was my weed.


lyrics

Plyin my trade, plying my trade

Just makin ends meet

If I get lucky

Somethin fancy to eat

Plyin my trade, plyin my trade

Best I know how to do

Livin for the struggle

Can't think what else to do

Just livin out this life sentence

Wishin and hopin for an end to it

That memorial field behind the church

Seems like it might be the only way out

Plyin my trade, plyin my trade

Just like all of you

We're just a bunch of whores

And pimps we have a few

Plyin my trade, plyin my trade

Hope you buy what I'm sellin

Cause you're just like me

So full of misery


Hope you enjoyed!

Great sir Great

Thank you!

You make me want to get a looper to lay down a groove and try soloing mid-song ! haha . Cool , you have a defined deep sound with your compositions , I wonder. Have you ever recorded some lyrics over some heavier stuff? >:) \m/

Thank you, and yes I have. My roots are in Extreme Metal and until I started writing in this style solo, I have played in bands since in high school and a couple of those bands had studio recordings.
