work tape song

Well, I say this story on the news the other day. A woman who was caught stealing money from a local high profile, non-profit organization. She was charged and the news got out. She looked distraught and was crying with her mascara running down her face. Not Tammy Faye Baker running, but running. And I thought of the title and worked around.



i'm not sure this is blues, maybe more folk/blues or Texas Blues, probably more.



There's a little break in the middle between 2nd and 3rd verses, a place holder for a lead or maybe bridge.



simple lyrics and progression. I'm always admiring the songwriters here at their craft. Very inspiring to me.

This is from Gary Chapman's book "The Five Love Languages". My wife hasn't heard it yet so, we'll see. Hope she approves!

I wrote this with Charley Crockett in mind, kind of an 'old soul' country blues feel. I got the idea from a headline in the Texas Monthly magazine. Very simple lyrics
