I rewrote a bit of this and changed the last verse- hope you like it. Someone asked about hearing it - I don't have a website and I am not a good enough singer to YOU Tube it.

[ D ]It was Saturday night about 9 o’clock
[ G ]There were lights ‘n sirens on our block
[ A ]Cussin’ and screaming filled the air
[ D ]It always ends up a family affair
There was pushing and shoving and calling names
everybody looking for someone to blame
there’s nobody gonna win this fight
cuz’ everybody’s wrong , if no one’s right
Chorus
[ A ] Every weekend’s it’s the same ‘ol thing
[ G ] Over and over , a familiar ring
[ A ] ain’t nothing easy, nothing good
[ D ] Nothin’ changes in this neighborhood
[ D ] [ G ] [ A ] [ D ]
Oh I’m staying clear and out of view
Don’t need no action in this hullabaloo
I really can’t say just what they did
Just damn glad it’s not my kid !
Somebody’s handcuffed in the back seat
I see’em now going down the street
Mama’s yelling it’s gonna be alright
It’s just another wild Saturday night !
Chorus

I didn't write for it, but the lyrics seem to possibly apply to Brett Favre talking to his wife after the latest episode with Jenn Sterger ( J.E.T.S. !)

Re: Minor man (with chords) (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I have been working on the song that I posted last week - re arranged the lyrics and added (at least what I think is ) a pretty cool intro to the song. I wish I could sing ( i am really bad) ... but I just love how the music fits. I am hoping that some of you good guitarists with nice voices can appreciate it. I am just a beginner at guitar but have always been a songwriter since my college days. I love the irony of this song b/c the chords are flavored with minors and it is about the " minor man" . Hope you like it. If you have any suggestions to improve it - i am always open to them. Loving learning how to play and love this chordie.com - it is the best !
Thanks to Mekidsmom and Arkady for their assistance in getting me to post this the right way!
( and I do hope I have it right this time!)
