Songs and Such

Jonny Blue

Lyrics in bold. I just kinda wanted to write a more fun song, and one that had a kinda plot to it. Imagine a fusion of the songs "Take A Load Off" for the lyrical rythm, as well as sone of the instrumentals, and then Led Zeppelin's "Hey Hey What Can I Do" in some instrumental portion-but always remember to let the music make itself.

I came around
Back to this old town
Just a-tryin to get
Away

Was gettin' down
I said real down yeah
Down further every day
Oh, down

Thought of a friend
And then I grinned
We always had a good
Old time

So I said

Hey there ol' Jonny
How're things with you?
I'm in town
And a-feelin' down
Wonderin' if you were too

Jonny and me
Found a movie to see
Hung around out til' late
Awhile

Turns out Jonny
Was a bit blue, too
He just couldn't get him
A girl

So I called
Another old friend
Always had an ear to
Bend and

Yeah I said,

Hello, sweet Annie
How're things with you?
I'm in town
Feeling a bit down
And could use a good talkin' to

Annie came down
In a car stained brown
Looking cute like she did
Always

I pulled her aside
Told her I was doing fine
But Jonny was just so blue
Told her

Just talk with him
Or go all out on a limb
He's just so lonely
You see

And she said,

Poor lonely Jonny
Ain't nothing I can do
I've gotta man
You must understand
But I might have a friend or two

So I rang up
While Jonny drank a cup
Filled with a-liquid
Courage

The first was a dud
But we couldn't be stuck in the mud
Jonny said it don't really
Matter

But I kept a-ringin'
Otherwise Jonny would be singin'
Those lonely old blues
Yeah, yeah

So I said,

Hey there sweet lady
I've got nothin to do
Come on round
And we'll go out on the town
And bring along a friend or two

So we waited
Just Jonny and me
He was about ready to leave
Early

But I made him stay
There wasn't any way
I was gonna let him get
All blue

Soon we heard an old car
Sounded like it'd been a bit too far
Pullin into the drive
Aw yeah

Jonny said

Hello sweet ladies!
I've a-waited for you
Now let's go out
We'll see what you're all about
And have some good talkin' too

Then Jonny wasn't
All blue and lonely
Turns out we weren't the only
Who needed a friend or two

And I say,

Goodnight sweet Hannah
I'm so glad I met you
I'll take you
All the way back to your room
And let ya have a-some sweet dreams

Thank you Annie
Now we ain't so blue
Met some girls
It's funny how the night unfurls
But there's nothin' I'd rather do

I was kinda writing about being back in my hometown, seeing old friends and feeling old feelings. None of the names I used are of actual people, they just sounded right in my head.

I'm gonna do something new-anyone have suggestions or requests for a song? Theow some stuff out there, and I'll try to write it or include it in something.
