Cross the prairies of this land

Thanks, Roses! Yes, I DO!! I could here it playin' in my head while I was writing the words. Took me all of about 30 seconds!
I'm NOT a big fan of bluegrass, but I can hear it in my head anytime I want.... and so can YOU! If you're foot was "a tappin," you HAD to hear the music!
I play a little guitar, and have written a few songs for myself. (NOT BLUEGRASS!) I even performed a few in front of a few thousand people in what is called "Tops in Blue" while I was in the military.
Bluegrass is short and fast paced. Rhyming is easy. The "meter" of the words, dictates the "meter" of the music (and vice versa,) so you had no choice but to hear a certain music based on the length of each phrase. (And I had no choice but to write short phrases to match the pace of Bluegrass music.)
The line she gave me was difficult to work with in a way. It was kinda "stuck" at the end of it. I KNOW the "guys" were just messing around with it. No one would write a song saying a woman driver "had no sense!" :roll:
The premise was a bit "open" and has been done before....
Waylon Jennings' song:
"Im a goodhearted woman in love with a foolhearted man...."
But, that's COUNTRY and plays out for double the bars.
BluegrassDeb starts out with only the first HALF of this, and different but similar words:
"I'm a TRUCK driving woman......"
And then there's no "slide" into a break! You must pick it up again.
Anyways.... it was FUN!
I couldn't just give her the second line by itself... cuz it would be stuck as well. Nothing was REALLY said until the 4th line!
I've told her that she only has a short time to use my "contribution" for free! If she doesn't like it.... I'll write it myself and sell it! Might get rich and retire like Sheepdancer! :lol:
Thanks again for noticing. Sometimes I think even the WOMEN here don't read the "women's forum!" :shock: :roll: :lol:
