WORDS AND MUSIC (c) 2009 { THE IDOL } LOU PENTA





YOU KNOW I'M BAD AT WRITING YOU, SO I'LL TRY TO SING IT IN THIS SONG
I'M HEADED BACK TO NASHVILLE, WHILE MY HEARTS WITH YOU BACK HOME
I WANNA SAY I SHOULD OF GAVE YOU MORE, OF THE LOVE I HELD INSIDE
A MAN JUST PLAYS TO COOL, WITH THINGS HE TRIES TO HIDE


[ CHOURS ] THE IDOL'S WHAT THEY CALL ME, BUT I'M JUST LIVIN IN DISGUISE
NOBODY GETS TO SEE ME CRY, DARK SHADES COVER UP MY EYES
MY PICTURES ON THE COVER OF ALL THE TABLOID MAGAZINES
STILL I WALK THE LONELY BLVD, OF BROKEN DREAMS



THE LAST THING I REMEMBER, WAS THE SCREAMIN OF THE FANS
I WAS RUSHED INTO A LEMO, WHILE MY MANAGER MADE UP PLANS
WE WERE HEADED ON A SIX MONTH TOUR, MY SONG HAD BLASTED, TO THE TOP
AS IT PLAYED ON EVERY RADIO, I PRAYED THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED

[ CHOURS ] THE IDOL'S WHAT THEY CALL ME, BUT I'M JUST LIVIN IN DISGUISE
NOBODY GETS TO SEE ME CRY, DARK SHADES COVER UP MY EYES
MY PICTURES ON THE COVER OF ALL THE TABLOID MAGAZINES
STILL I WALK THE LONELY BLVD, [GIT. RIFF] THE BLVD. OF BROKEN DREAMS




[ BRIDGE ] I'M NOT A, CRAZY ROCKIN IDOL, THEY TRY TO MAKE ME OUT TO BE
I'M STILL THE SAME OLD COWBOY, WHO STILL NEEDS YOU NEXT TO ME
I'D GIVE UP ON THIS MASQUERADE, WITH ALL IT'S FORTUNE AND IT'S FAME
IF YOU WOULD SAY TO COME ON BACK, I'D ONLY SING FOR YOU AGAIN



[ CHOURS ] THE IDOL'S WHAT THEY CALL ME, BUT I'M JUST LIVIN IN DISGUISE
NOBODY GETS TO SEE ME CRY , DARK SHADES COVER UP MY EYES
MY PICTURES ON THE COVER OF ALL THE TABLOID MAGAZINES
STILL I WALK THE LONELY BLVD, [GIT. RIFF] THE BLVD. OF BROKEN DREAMS

Hoofda what a voice. Very fine. There is a lot of great writing in this simple country song. Everything is a step up from good. To study the instrumentation and how it is used and never misses a lick-no holes anywhere,always appropriate. Lyrics come from inside, and are difficult to just " throw together ". These are totally the opposite from that. I have to mention that opening, it totally grabbed my attention.

country tune pure and simple. good job.

Very emotive lead vocal with beautiful timbre. Great instrumentation. I wish this is what mainstream country radio still sounded like. There is a market for this sound in licensing, but it's not an ongoing, current demand like the sound created by The Civil Wars.
