Any suggestions, feedback, whatever is appreciated. Basically a 3-chord song but I haven't perfected my playing enough to record it yet. Maybe in a few weeks, pending changes that might come from your suggestions.

Thanks in advance


The Songs We Used To Play

Verse 1:

We started playing rock in ‘61
Played for more than 20 years, man we had some fun.
Guitar and bass and sax and drums, together all that time
The thought that it might end someday never crossed our minds.

Chorus:

And I still think about the songs we used to play
We played ‘em loud, we drew the crowds, we rocked the nights away.
To me those songs were special, ‘cause we played ‘em our own way
I still think about the songs we used to play.

Verse 2:

Working days and playing nights got harder every year
In ’86 we called it quits, we split up all the gear.
That final night up in the lights, we played our songs once more
Then said good-bye, tried not to cry, and slipped on out the door.

Chorus:

And I still think about the songs we used to play
We played ‘em loud, we drew the crowds, we rocked the nights away.
To me those songs were special, ‘cause we played ‘em our own way
I still think about the songs we used to play.

Verse 3:

I’d love to have the band do one more show
But Ronnie’s dead, Tom’s sick in bed, and Charlie’s mind got slow.
And I can’t play the drums the way I could
It sounds so bad, it’s really sad, I used to be so good.

Chorus:

And I still think about the songs we used to play
We played ‘em loud, we drew the crowds, we rocked the nights away.
To me those songs were special, ‘cause we played ‘em our own way
I still think about the songs we used to play.
