Half Baked Sinner

(my lyrics for a country song, but with no music yet.) Well, my momma -bless her soul - she brought me up good. She taught me all she knew and she taught me what she should, She took me to a church and she made me knock on wood. Still, Honey, I’m a half-baked sinner. ‘Cause I’m sittin’ here and thinkin’ that you’re look’in mighty fine. You set my heart to pound’in and I’d like to make you mine. But I’m such a careful gal though I walk a thin line, Yeah, Honey, I’m a half-baked sinner. Chorus: Oh, a half-baked sinner; that’s all I am. Stuck here in the middle of “Nowhere Land.” A half-baked sinner, I’m God’s little joke, but I still have my spirit ‘cause I’m only half-broke! Well, I’m contemplatin’ things with you I’m not supposed to do. If I’m halfway to Hell, they’ll put me all the way through! But I’m only HALF-stupid - unlucky for you! Yes, Honey, I’m a half-baked sinner. Yes, I know you’ve got your pride, but listen, so do I. I might not tell the truth, but I sure don’t tell no lie! And I never will give in, for if you ask me why, It’s because I’m just a half-baked sinner. Repeat Chorus: Oh, a half-baked sinner; that’s all I am. Stuck here in the middle of “Nowhere Land.” A half-baked sinner, I’m God’s little joke but I still have my spirit ‘cause I’m only half-broke!

Wow... you have such talent and creativity. I sung it in my head to some square dance tune (as I read through) Excellent humor and wit. "Half-baked-sinner" perfect symbol for the character you created. Congratulations on your well deserved win :)

Absolutely love it! A brilliant lyric. Must be any number of Country gals who'd revel in this. "A half-baked sinner, I’m God’s little joke but I still have my spirit ‘cause I’m only half-broke!" Wonderful.-Red

This is a damn good country song....And I don't wanna hear about you and not having a portal! You have a vocabulary that is second to NONE. You write a ton. You are good! REAL good. If you have not tried this already...I urge you to write a poem without thought whatsoever. Randomly write words as fast as you can with or without emotion. I know Elton John does not plan or think of every key he hits on the ole' Steinway or Baldwin. Just let it go like a good bowel movement. Sorry :)

Made me feel like gittin out the gitfiddle ! haha. Sure sounds like a country song. Congrats on your win Andrea. I remember listening to Paul Harvey news years ago when he used to have a section on the most unique finds in titles for published country songs. The following title stayed with me. Let me share it with you. "Don't Cry Down Ma Back Baby, You'll Rust Ma Spurs" : )
