Steemit Open Mic Week 66 - Original "Plying My Trade"
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="
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!

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.
Thank you and you're very welcome :)
