I Kinda Like It

#42! I'm getting closer to my final goal! This particular song began as a facebook status this morning. My good friend Penny told me to turn the status into a song. So during my lunch break I pulled out my notebook and just started jotting things down. I have the music ready for this, I just need a few days to practice it. I'll post the audio as soon as I get a decent recording of it! This is a very upbeat female country song. I honestly can't wait to play it at open mic night.

I Kinda Like It

A rusty old pick-up truck on a hot summer night

Speedin’ down a country road. Yeah you know I love to slide

Around every little turn, ‘round ev’ry little bend

Catchin’ air ramping off a one lane bridge

Sure my momma taught me to keep that lead foot light

But for some crazy reason it just feels right

To stomp it to the floor and feel the gears shift

I don’t know what it is, but I kinda like it

A pair of big strong arms and piercing blue eyes

With a bit of a southern drawl he gave me butterflies

Got me starin’ at the phone, got me countin’ down the days

‘til he rides up again to carry me away

All my friends warn me, not to fall too fast

But with a man like him there’s no holdin’ back

He’s got me laughin’, got me smilin’, Holdin’ on to ev’ry kiss

I don’t know what it is, but I kinda like it

Spent four years and student loans on a fancy degree

Then I somehow managed to get the job of my dreams

Still somethin’ was missin’ in my chaotic life

But I think it when I stepped up to the mic

Sure folks tell me, just to give it up

You don’t have the look, you can’t sing, You don’t play good enough

I ain’t here to be seen, ain’t tryin’ to get rich

I don’t know what it is

I just like it. Yeah I kinda like it
