Lyrics

I came home early the other evening, in the middle of the night.
I rolled into the driveway, I knew that something wasn?t right.
I opened up the door, & I walked on in.
I hung up my coat, and the trouble soon began.
( I came home, opened the door, & the trouble began)
Now I?m just an average man, with an average life.
I don?t look for trouble, & I don?t start no fights.
I?ve been working hard, all of my damn life.
A roof over my head, & 3 squares is fine.
(Don?t look for trouble, been working hard, 3 squares is fine)
I smelled candles burning, and the lights were turned down low.
Shadows in the bedroom, with a warm soft glow.
I started thinking about my baby, & that my timing was right.
She?s got in store for me some good lovin, good lovin for me tonight.
(Candles burning, soft glow, for me tonight.)
I walked into the bedroom, and I saw the curtains sway.
My baby looked at me, you know her smile was out of place.
I said baby, baby! What?s going on?..
She looked down at the ground, I knew then she?d done me wrong.
(I walked in, She looked downs, she?d done me wrong)
So now I?m doing time, behind these four walls.
I aint got no porch, and there?s bars on my door.
But that cheating women, brother I aint lying.
She won?t cheat no more, in the middle of the night.
(I?m doing time, there?s no porch, She won?t cheat no more.)

Love the double vocals, great attitude. I could hear other artists doing this as well, so pitch on! Chords are simple, but support your melody. Story is great.

Sad story. I hope it's made up and not true. Sounds like a low budget recording, but it's good that the vocals are up front in the mix and can pretty well be understood (95% at least). Passionate performance & delivery, liked the gravelly voice. You tell your story well, sad as it is.

You have a nice voice and a great idea for this song. The world can always use another murder song.

GREAT DEMO!--love it!

Fun time song. Nice for singign along at a bar
