Topic: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Wife’s away playing golf this weekend and I get to stay home and write stuff. For once she left me with not one honey-do this time. So this first song is for her. Yeah, like most of my songs are not already for her. I hope you all like it.

Always On The Back Of My Mind By Jeff Gilpin


August 31st, 2007

[F]Getting me through this [C]weekend


[G]It’ll be just [F]fine




Verse 3


I [C]don’t have to do a [C7]chore


No [C7]shopping at any [F]store


I [F]might play some ball with the [C]boys


It won’t [G]be too much of a [C]bore




Verse 4


I’m [C]pretty sure you’ll [C7]call


Saying [C7]you miss me and [F]all



But if you [f]ask me what I’ve been [c]doing


I [G]won’t be able to re[C]call




Chorus 2


Because [F]you were in the back of my [C]mind


Just like you [G]are all the [C]time


[F]Getting me through the [C]week end


But It’ll [G]be just [F]fine




Verse 5


And [C]you’ll get home safe and [C7]sound

We’ll [C]have some time for [C7]us


But we [C7]won’t make too much [F]fuss


It’ll [F]just be great having you [C]back


And [G]sharing your [C]trust




Chorus 3


Because You’re [F]always in the back of my [C]mind


And you’re [G]there all the [C]time


[F]Sharing both our [C]lives


And it’s [G]working out pretty [F]fine




Ending Chorus


Yeah you’re [F]always in the back of my [C]mind


And you’re [G]there all the [C]time


[F]Sharing both our [C]lives


And it’s [G]worked out pretty [F]fine[G] [C]

Re: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Hey thanks you all - I'm sure the wife will like this one too. She told me to write a lot of songs while she's away and play them for her when she gets back tomorrow but this is it so far.

Hi Jeff,

Lovely song and what a great way to tell your better half how much you missed her while she was away.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Yep - she will love this one, I'm sure.  When my wife is away, I mope around a bit and then end up doing all sorts of absurd things like cleaning out and reorganizing cupboards and closets.  She will be gone for 4 days next weekend, so I'm thinking maybe I'll get the yard and garage all spiffy - certianly safer than having her come home and be upset that she can't find anything in the kitchen!

Hope your wife's golf goes well - if it's at least as good as your songwriting, she will be finishing in the top.  James
