ever start a song and ends up some where totally different than where you thought it was going to go?
again apologies for the recording quality it was done on aa lap top

(D)must have been some good times then (G)I  just don't recall
(D)all I remember is the (G)whiskey and the brawls
(D)all my daddy left me was a(G) colt 45
(D)an old rusty church key and these(G) brown(A) blood shot(D) eyes

that old rusty church key well it don't turn no locks
the only door it opened was the school of hard knocks
I took that old 45 and I hit the road
I just let it take me any where the wind blowed

wound up in Texas down on Galveston bay
that's where that old 45 led me astray
in a little biker bar just off highway 3
in the smoky yellow lights of the refineries

a 20 dollar pool game well it ended a mans life
I had my daddy's 45 and he had a knife
came with out warning in the parking lot
I didn't have much time to think I just fired one shot

there was lots of good times then as I recall
life wasn't all that bad before I took the fall
lots of time to recollect in my dingy cell
life aint all that great in the iron bar hotel

(G)      (C)                          (D)
I saw you across a crowded room
(G)                 (C)                         (D)
you looked at me and right away I knew
(G)                (C)                (D)
the biggest mistake I never made
(G)            (C)              (D)
was staring at me here today

(G)               (C)                    (D)
where were you when I fell in love
(G)   (C)                (D)
20 years to late for us
(G)              (C)                     (D)
where were you when I fell in love
(G)           (C)                  (D)
times all wrong damn the luck
(C)              (D)                     (G)     (Em)   (C)
where were you when I fell in love
                   (D)                     (G)
where were you when I fell in love

I've got some one back at home
I promised to lover her alone
your eyes say you've got some one to
who's heart would break in two

where were you when I fell in love
20 years to late for us
where were you when I fell in love
times all wrong damn the luck
where were you when I fell in love
where were you when I fell in love

like two ships passing in the night
we both do what we know is right
we both go our separate ways
wondering what if everyday

where were you when I fell in love
20 years to late for us
where were you when I fell in love
times all wrong damn the luck
where were you when I fell in love
where were you when I fell in love

ok so I down loaded audacity had another go at it and added a little solo at the end. let me know what you think and suggestions on working with the audacity are welcome

heres another one I don't like the name any suggestions? maybe internet love song? or is it worth naming?
I played it with a capo on the first fret. I left the chorus out between the 2nd and third verses not sure why just though it was to much with it in the song three times. open to suggestions.

(D) don't fall for(G) me and I wont(D) fall for (G)you
(D)its just a one night (G)thing that we(A) want to do
(D)what you think is(G) love (D)is just a lonely(G) tease
it wont(D) fill your (G)heart or put your(A) mind at ease

(G)so don't fall in (D)love with(A) me
(G)it will only break your (D)heart when I(A) leave
(G)its a losing(D) game your (A)in
(G)one you(A) just cant(D) win

what I want and what you need
just don't matter because I wont be freed
so don't think that you are gonna change my mind
I can see it coming girl im not that blind

though you may have dreamed you never felt my touch
you always had to know the distance was to much
you know im sorry if I left a scar
you know I never meant for to go this far

(G)so don't fall in (D)love with(A) me
(G)it will only break your (D)heart when I(A) leave
(G)its a losing(D) game your (A)in
(G)one you(A) just cant(D) win
(G)a game you will (A)never(D) win

after getting a few suggestions I also realized that besides a title  It needed something more so I added another verse I think closes it.
story of my life I guess working the oil field just cant think of a good title any suggestions?

(G) spent half of my life on the(C) gulfs open(G) waters
(G) the other half drinking(D) trying not to(G) fall
(G) dodging the foot steps(C) left by my(G) father
(G)but I hear the voice of his(D) ghost down the hall

(D)these blood shot eyes are a(C) window
(D)to a soul that's been (C)battered and (G)bruised
(D)I've been scared and left un(C)attended
(D)I've been stained by the(C) devils own(G) brew

now I cant escape the blood in my veins
its part of a curse and it came my name
there aint no reasons for the demons in me
I never saw depression war or disease

these blood shot eyes are a window
to a soul that's been battered and bruised
I've been scared and left unattended
I've been stained by the devils own brew

now I like the whiskey just a little to much
some call it a weakness some call it a crutch
so what if I like to get drunk everyday
I pick up my whiskey my guitar and play

but these blood shot eyes are a window
to a soul that's been battered and bruised
I've been scared and left unattended
I've been stained by the devils own brew

now I walk in the foot steps left by my father
but I cant blame him for the path that choose
each one of us must look in the mirror
and see our own truth that we cannot refuse
