about

Another song written to put a smile on my face. The first two lines are "I'm gonna write me a song, about a girl in a thong" and that song didn't get finished, because after those two lines, I already had a smile on my face!

lyrics

G
I'm gonna write me a song
About a girl in a thong
C
Sunning herself somewhere south of here.

I'm gonna write me a ditty
Bout life away from the city
Bout the beach and the sun, and an ice-cold beer

D
Gonna write me a song
C
Cause my life is all wrong
D
Gonna write me a ditty
C D
Cause I need some pretty

I'm gonna write me a song
To feel better before long
To make all my worries disappear

I'm gonna write me a ditty
with smiles and nothin' gritty
& willin' girls, both far and near

Gonna write me a song
Cause my life is all wrong
Gonna write me a ditty
Cause I need some pretty

Bm
And I think of the day
Am G
When I'm free from this pain
G
My song took me far away
C D
Far away from your rain

Gonna write me a song
Cause my life is all wrong
Gonna write me a ditty
Cause I need some pretty

I'm gonna write me a song
Bout a girl out of her thong
Loving me all night somewhere south of here
