I Feel Like - Blank - Today

Come on, have a little fun. All of your viewers let's sing along, this is an interactive set of song lyrics I wrote one day after a pretty rough night. I have left certain spaces blank in the chorus for you to fill in with whatever you think would work best. I know the word I used, but it’s not appropriate for soup. : ) Verse 1 It was hot, and I was thirsty, I needed a drink since noon But now the work day is done, it’s time to have some fun Down at the Old Red Dog Saloon I drank the first one, then another, the third went down just fine I started thinking, continued drinking, and lost a track of time. Verse 2 The bar was closing, as I sat frozen, to my stool against the wall They shouted no more, and kicked me out of the door To get back home, I had to crawl Roll back the covers, and climb in under, as soon as I close my eyes That alarm clock rang, fell out of bed with a bang That’s when I realized Chorus: I feel like ____ today. Put too many beers away All I remember is a slamming door And someone shouting you can’t have no more. Everything today is going wrong. It’ll be that way the whole day long There’s nothing more that I can say, I feel like ____ today. Verse 3 Throw up the curtains, my eyes won’t open. As the sun begins to rise My head is pounding, the showers sounding, like the volume is way too high I finish dressing, my clothes need pressing, but it’s way too late for that I put the coffee on, I hope it’s good and strong So I can figure out where I’m at. Chorus: I feel like ____ today. Put too many beers away All I remember is a slamming door And someone shouting you can’t have no more. Everything today is going wrong. It’ll be that way the whole day long There’s nothing more that I can say, I feel like ____ today. Bridge: The day is long, it’s going on and on, but eventually it will end Then I’ll hop in my car, drive over to the bar And sing the same song, tomorrow again. Chorus: I feel like ____ today. Put too many beers away All I remember is a slamming door And someone shouting you can’t have no more. Everything today is going wrong. It’ll be that way the whole day long There’s nothing more that I can say, I feel like ____ today. Ok, Rick Keeble was off key, let's try that again.

For sure, for sure, I can dig where you're comin from. I can feel the vibes flowing from this screen Paloma. (spoken in a cross between a valley girl and Maynard G. Krebbs) Ok, thanks so much my friend, I know you're not feeling your best today, so I really appreciate you taking the time to sing along.

Hi Chris, I enjoyed this sing a long. This feels like a country song. I'm definitely singing a long with you." I feel like crap today. Put too many beers away All I remember is a slamming door And someone shouting you can’t have no more. Everything today is going wrong. It’ll be that way the whole day long There’s nothing more that I can say, I feel like crap today." Well done a Big seven:-) Alexis
