So, a friend of mine asked me to write a country lyric...this is what I came up with :)

I'm trying' to write a country song Hope Ya'll try sing along Get those feet a dancing' across the old oak floor Yellow ribbons 'round the tree Darlin' won't you dance with me I'll Gitty-Up on my horse Just to do two-step a dance with you Gentleman...drinking' beer Lovely ladies, over there The moon shining bright 'Neath the starry skies Blue jeans and baggy pants Love to watch those lady's dance 'Neath the moon... And 'neath those starry skies Eyes of blue and eyes of green Sweetheart... meet you between The mistletoe... That hangs below the door We can do a little kissin' I don't care if we've been missin' That country song... that we both danced to... before Darlin' as long as I'm with you My nights will not be long and blue As long as I can hold your hand We'll dance the night away You know I'd walk a hundred miles Just to see, one of your smiles Lord, J.C., I'll Gitty-Up... I'll Gitty up for evermore Yellow ribbons 'round the tree Darlin' won't you dance with me I'll Gitty-Up on my horse Just to do two-step a dance with you Gentleman...drinking' beer Lovely ladies, over there The moon, shining bright 'Neath the starry skies Blue jeans and baggy pants Love to watch those lady's dance 'Neath the moon... And 'neath those starry skies Eyes of blue and eyes of green Sweetheart... meet you between The mistletoe... That hangs below the door We can do a little kissin' I don't care if we've been missin' That country song... that we both danced to... before Darlin' as long as I'm with you My nights will not be long and blue As long as I can hold your hand We'll dance the night away You know I'd walk a hundred miles Just to see, one of her smiles Lord, J.C., I'll Gitty-up... I'll gitty my night away I'll gitty up, I'll gitty up... I'll gitty up, I'll gitty up... I'll gitty up.... My days for evermore

You said it all cowboy. As the midnight stars shine above. This Country song is all I got. To win your heart and bring to you. This heartfelt love of mine so true.This lonely cowboy sings his song. To win your love, it's where you belong. If you hear me darling just sing along. As I finish this lonely cowboy's song... Hoped you liked Charlie. Your song is much better... Godd luck in writing hope they are happy...

I'll have to confess, Michael. When I got off my horse and got home last night, I had 2-3 beers (maybe 4 lol) then, I wrote this. I'll have to rewrite and rearrange this a little better and steal some of your fantastic lines (lol). Love it! We might have to collaborate to make a country hit :) Thanks for the encouraging words my friend...

Yahoo! I would love to sing along with you, Charles, we'd sing your country song, and I'd say neigh to any cowboys that might gallop along. A Happy, Uplifting, Poem. Thank you, Charles
