Won’t Bring Her HomeYesterday I was a rooster Today I’m just a feather duster Rising from my bed this morning Took all the willpower I could muster But all the willpower in the world Won’t bring back my darling girl All the messages I left upon her phone Won’t bring her home Won’t bring her home I begged for her forgiveness Said it didn’t mean a thing But she just looked right through me Slipped off her wedding ring All my tears and my excuses They won’t ever change her mind Beg her to think about the happiness we’ve known Won’t bring her home Won’t bring her home Yesterday I was a fool All the things I took for granted How did I slide so far down? From the heights that I commanded All the stupid little lies All the hurt I trivialized Blame it all upon that damn y chromosome Won’t bring her home Won’t bring her home Won’t bring her home Won’t bring her home

Nice one!
Some very cool lines, I especially like the opening line "Yesterday I was a rooster
Today I’m just a feather duster" and the closing line "All the hurt I trivialized
Blame it all upon that damn y chromosome"
Lovely fluid and melodic guitar playing, just the way I like to hear it.
Good tune you two, enjoyed!

Clever write Peter. I really liked the chord progression and the drum groove.
And of course the guitar work was excellent.
Great write my friend. Rob

Peter & Leon,
Who could resist that opening line? - brilliant!
I liked the "won`t bring her home" refrain ( catchy in a foreboding way) and I always enjoy Leon`s vocal style.
Then there`s the guitar playing; up there with your best, Peter!
Robert

Really enjoyed this Peter & Leon. You delivered something from inside the box but outside the square  . Cool guitar lines, a bit of Santana might have snuck in there even, and all wrapped up with a top drivin' beat. Great effort.

Dear "PeterF" and Leon... The downwardly spiraling sense of despair over the loss of someone's love is vividly dramatized in your song, "Won't Bring Her Home". The music implacably drives home the finality of the situation. Leon, your vocal performance would convince a doctor that you were in a state of shock over "her" departure. "PeterF", your guitar solos were like licks of flame rising out of the pit of the private hell of a man who is so desperately, agonizingly sorry for his mis-steps on the path to happiness that he can't believe he did it to himself: "Yesterday I was a fool
All the things I took for granted
How did I slide so far down?
From the heights that I commanded"Oh, yes. The guilt is as thick as steam. Sleepness nights and fatigued-blurred days are definitely in this poor man's future. I think it would be a good idea for someone to empty out his medicine cabinet and put a trigger guard on his pistol...don't you?  Sorrowfully  , LOREN

Hello, Peter
Very nice bluesy rock!
Super lead guitar!
As floyd said, sounded like George Harrison was in the studio!!!
The minor cliché chord progression on bass is also very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
