I haven't posted in a while but I couldn't not post this here. Its from 6 years ago (wow, I can't believe that it's been that long) and it's simple and I'd LIKE to think my writing and playing and singing are a little better now! So after being told that I suck, I wrote this song. Oh yeah, it's a talking and singing song.
I Wrote This Song Because You Said I suck

Chorus
I wrote this song because you said I suck
Sorry you got to hear it, guess that’s your bad luck
My singing is atrocious, my playing’s even worse
My love of music, I guess that that’s a curse
When they hand me that Grammy, I’ll just smile and say “aw shucks”
Cause I wrote this song, because you said I suck
Verse 1
I was buskin on a corner, when you walked by with your mutt
You laughed at my tip jar, tossed in your Marlboro butt
I guess that I’m funny, cause you laughed until you cried
You told the world I suck, one by one as they walked by
Chorus
Verse 2
I was playing my showcase, at a Nashville country bar
You rolled up, in your fancy foreign car
You made quite a scene, you’re important I bet
Got drunk and yelled that I suck, the whole time thru my set
Chorus
You came down, to my sold out Ryman show
Wanted backstage passes, I politely told you no
You huffed and puffed and cursed me as you left
Told the whole world that I sucked, on the internets
Bridge
Apparently writin’ songs is easy
Come up with something original to say
Find some fancy words and notes and chords
Arrange them in a mel-odic way
Throw it all together
Play it on guitar
Everybody’ll tell you how great you are
But not you….so
Chorus.
