Lyric Inspired... George Strait

Ok so I did one of these a while ago.. And I wanted to do another one..

Ever since I've heard this song I've been in love with it.. Don't really know why (well besides the fact that it's George Strait..lol) but to me it's beautiful..

So use this song as inspiration to write a poem/song of your own.. But please nothing really long.. I have a really short attention span.. 

 


"Troubadour" By: George Strait

I still feel 25,
Most of the time
I still raise a little cain with the boys
Honkey tonk and pretty women
Lord I'm still right there with them
Singing above the crowed and the noise


[chorus]
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
Stil trying to make a name
Knowing nothings gonna change what I am
I was a young troubadour
When I rode in on a song
And I'll be an old troubadour,
When I'm gone.

Well, the truth about a mirror
It's that a damn old mirror
Don't really tell the whole truth,
It don't show what's deep inside
Oh read between the lines,
It's really no reflection of my youth

[chorus]

[x2]
I was a young troubadour,
When I rode in on a song
And I'll be an old troubadour,
When I'm gone
I'll be an old troubadour,
When I'm gone..
