My Country Western Song

I was rambling to myself in my head and noticed a line that was pretty catchy and kept going around and around my brain. It sounded like a bit of a country western song so I decided to write it down.  One hour later I had a whole song written. Here it is, tell me what you think.

Been There, Done That

Growin’ up I was always in a hurry
and my daddy would say to me:

“Slow down
Stay awhile
Kick off your shoes
Break out your smile
Life’s not easy
It’s so much more
Come on in and
Shut the door.”

But I thought he was crazy so I
Went to school
Got a job
Traveled the world
Fell in love
Made a promise
Bought a house
Had some kids
Rushed the spouse.

Now that I’ve done it all by 45
I’m looking for that one thing more
Cuz I’m just really getting bored.

I’m just sayin’
“I’ve been there,
Done that,
Had a life,
It’s old hat.”

What more is a girl to look forward to when she’s
“Been there,
Done that,
Had a life,
It’s old hat”

Gained weight
Got fat
Joined a gym
Eatin grass
Bought a car
Went way too fast
Smashed it up
It was fun to crash

Now that I've done it all by 45
I’m looking for that one thing more
Because now I’m REALLY getting bored.

I’m just sayin;
I’ve been there,
Done that,
Had a life,
It’s old hat.

What more can I look forward to when I’ve
“been there,
Done that,
Had a life,
It’s old hat?

Now I’m thinking there’s gotta be more
And I’m remembering daddy standing at the door, saying:

"Slow down
Stay a while
Kick off your shoes
Break out your smile
Life’s not a breeze
It’s so much more
Come on in and shut the door.

That old coot was so very wise
now I’m telling my kids and all the guys
their fast pace life ain’t all it buys
they just need to

Slow down
Stay a while
Kick off your shoes
Break out your smile
Life’s not a breeze
It’s so much more
Come on in and shut the door!

Slow down
Stay a while
Kick off your shoes
Break out your smile
Life’s not a breeze
It’s so much more
Come on in and shut the door!
