A new song (maybe I'm getting better at this)
I saw something on FaceBook a while back (a drawing of a deer on a sign with the words "Eat More Fast Food" on it) that gave me this idea. I wrote the chorus back before Thanksgiving. Finally came up with the opening line, and it just kinda spilled out from there.
My favorite line? Probably the last line of the second verse . . not sure where it came from, but it was definitely what was needed! I don't have the intro or outro or solo section (between the last two verses) worked up yet, so it's a bit short at only 2 minutes long. “Fast Food” (David Pennybaker) That stuff’s gonna kill ya / That’s what the experts say It’s my breakfast, lunch, or dinner / Most every day I can’t understand / What they’re talkin’ about They must be confused / It’s the healthiest thing around I like fast food / Somethin’ wild and free Take it with a bow / Or my .243 Lean red meat / Meant to be consumed Ain’t nothin’ wrong / With fast food Fry it up with eggs and onions / Start the day right Put some in the smoker / Eat like a king tonight When it ain’t huntin’ season / It’s time to fish They’re a bit slower / But they’ll do in a pinch I like fast food / Somethin’ wild and free Take it with a bow / Or my .243 Lean red meat / Meant to be consumed Ain’t nothin’ wrong / With fast food Can’t trust them city doctors / Or the ones on TV What the heck do they know / ‘Bout a country boy like me? I like fast food / Somethin’ wild and free Take it with a bow / Or my .243 Lean red meat / Meant to be consumed Ain’t nothin’ wrong / With fast food I like fast food / Somethin’ wild and free Take it with a bow / Or my .243 Venison on the skillet / Smells like sweet perfume Ain’t nothin’ wrong / With fast food Last edited by SongwriterFan; 01-15-2024 at 07:50 PM. |

As I read your lyrics,
I felt my arteries hardening. David

And no mention of the violence?
Although venison can be tasty…… |
