This is all Floyd's fault. This is what happens when I can't get a hold of him and I have to write a song all by myself. Ain’t Giving Up By David Snyder Genre: COUNTRY/HORRIBLE Voted World's Worst Song--Country Music Fans International V1 I saw you standing there With your solo cup You punched me in the face Then I threw up You said I hate to see you dressed that way You’re a fake cowboy now go away I said girl come and see my new Dodge truck You used some kick boxing girl kicked me in the guts I asked you if I am might try my luck You pulled out a gun and said hey what’s up You said hey what’s up Pre Chorus And girl it’s plain to see What I got going on for me CH Yeah you might hate my guts But I ain’t giving up Cause I write country, yeah I write country And when we cross that Florida Georgia line I’ll lay it on the line and make you mine I might be a fool but I’ll die trying Until you love me Until you love me And you stop hitting me, punching me Shootin’ me, ah girl V2 Well I went down onto Music Row Everybody tellin’ me where to go Well I’ve already been to a place called Hell It’s New York City don’t like the smell Rather sit right here with my moonshine One of these days gonna make you mine Like Miley said it’s all about the climb Even if you’re out of your mind I can twerk myself and even get nude But girl I don’t need to get that rude PreChorus Some day you’re gonna see What I got going on for me CH Yeah you might hate my guts But I ain’t giving up Cause I write country, yeah I write country And when we cross that Florida Georgia line I’ll lay it on the line and make you mine I might be a fool but I’ll die trying Until you love me Until you love me And you stop hitting me, punching me Shootin’ me, ah girl Cause I write Country All Music and lyrics by David Snyder 2016 Title: Ain’t Givin Up Key=G , Tempo 90, Length (m:s)=2:50 Style is _BUBBLES.STY (Bubbles Modern Country Pop) RealTracks in style: ~1636:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 2540:Pedal Steel, Background ModernCountryDreamy16ths Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1830:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveBrightDist Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1828:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopModernGroove Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 1832:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveChorusHeld Ev16 075 RealDrums in style: RockNorthern^4-a:Snare, Loose HiHat , b:Snare, Ride ******************* David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4 https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

I don't know who these guys are but they are pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEJOekbg2lE Funniest thing about this is that Bruce kinda built his whole career on Bob's playbook, then Bob spoofs Bruce, who was only trying to sound like Bob. Kind of like a parallel universe staring back at itself. Anyway, does anyone think these guys have a shot?
