Topic: Momma Said...

I have one or two progressions in mind but till then big_smile

V1
suck it up baby and don’t say a word
It’s about that dollar and not what you’ve heard
Be true to yourself you will do no wrong
Be true to yourself and sing your own song

Ch:
Momma used to tell me don’t you drink all night
The only thing you will see is the morning light
Hangovers don’t pay the rent,
The only thing  you will see is the bills they have sent.

V2
There will be friends that that
use you and then toss you away
And friends you keep
and you take them to the grave

Ch:
Momma used to tell me don’t you drink all night
The only thing you will see is the morning light
Hangovers don’t pay the rent,
The only thing  you will see is the bills they have sent.

V3
Family is family like it or not
They’re there when you need
An that says a lot
There when you need them
An that says a lot

Ch:
Momma used to tell me don’t you drink all night
The only thing you will see is the morning light
Hangovers don’t pay the rent,
The only thing  you will see is the bills they have sent.

V4.
Life can end in the blink of an eye
Blown to bits or lightening from a blue sky.
Hug your daughter and hug your sons
Tell them that you love them and
you are proud of who they have become

Re: Momma Said...

Good one Beamer this song resonates with me as in the last three  weeks or so, three people I know have died due to their excessive drinking. That first verse could have been a good opening paragraph when writing about their life's. The last verse could also be in their life story as their families all tried to help them stop drinking themselves to death.
