Hmmmmm......I took a cut at combining all you have above into a song and here is what I came up with. No music yet but I will try that later:
The Last Great American Love song - By Jets60 & Strummerboy Bill (yes, your name gets here for the parts you contributed)
Verse 1
Someone in a song I wrote decided they were real
So commenced to get in trouble near and far.
They’d try to get along, but just like a lot of songs
They ended down and out at a local bar.
Chorus 1
Now the barman sympathetic tried consoling,
Conversing about how it all turned wrong.
But they just kept on crying, and they said as they were sighing
I’m living the last great American love song.
Verse 2
Someone in a dream I had decided to awaken,
And to run off into the hours of the day,
But they made the people sleepy. Some were yawning; some were weepy.
So someone kept on about their merry way.
Chorus 2
Now to no one’s delight the day descended,
And someone’s happy day was turning wrong.
So someone turned rather tired as the day about expired,
And put to bed the last great American love song.
Bridge
The great American love song’s never ending,
And that song leads us on a path that never ends.
When it’s said in done we’ll stop pretending
The last great American love song just went on far too long.
Verse 3
Someone in a doctor’s office was describing maladies
To a doctor that was way over their head.
But the doctor took it in from beginning to the end,
Trying to figure out just why they weren’t yet dead.
Chorus 3
But death just like life comes to us all
For those who’re deathly sick or for the strong
So as through life we cope, it’s best for us to hope
That we'll end up in The last great American Love song.
