For all the beautiful women out there who take us just the way we are even where there is no good logical reason to. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/just-the-way-we-areJust the Way We Are By David Snyder V1 Well I’ve never been to New York City I’ve never seen Fifth Avenue And if they ask me to order some fillet mignons girl You know I wouldn't have a clue PreChorus And I’ve never looked too deep inside of me Cause I don’t think there’s too much there to know Chorus: But if you don’t mind My dirty old truck And you don’t mind this dirty old bar And you don’t mind this dusty old house I’ll return the favor...And take us just the way we are...Just the way we are girl V2 Well I’ve never made more than a million dollars but I know how spit tobacco on a country night and I know how to pound some shooters after hours and I know how to dodge a trooper running every damned red light PreChorus And I’ve never looked too deep inside my soul Cause I don’t think there’s too much there to know Chorus: But if you don’t mind My dirty old truck And you don’t mind this dirty old bar And you don’t mind this dusty old house I’ll return the favor...And take us just the way we are...Just the way we are girl Bridge And there’s something ‘bout the smell of a Georgia pine That’s putting only one thing on my mind Try hard enough and you might crack my spine But if it feels good, girl well that’s just fine …. REPEAT CHORUS Words and music by David Snyder 2018/ASCAP David Snyder: Vocals, 12 string, piano, arrangement Style:_GENTLE, with cello

"fillet mignons" hahahaha What a bundle of contradictions. Beautiful backing and a lovely melody and then...hmmmm...you sweep us into the sentiment and then comes a line like the above  As Janice says, and I said it before, it makes her smile like she does when listening to one of her favs - Hayes Carll. Well done Mr Snyder. We enjoyed it. J&B PS "For all the beautiful women out there who take us just the way we are even where there is no good logical reason to." Something I will ponder thru eternity.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Lyrics based in reality we can all relate too. Ordinary folks, ordinary souls and ordinary lives, just like most of us. I love the raw truths you bare here. Good lyrics and compilation.

David,
Sweet- heck you even made spitting tobacco sound romantic!
I guess its cause the singer has heart and that comes through.
Original,funny and sincere at the same time... also very nicely sung.

David,
To me this sounds like a country-toned Springsteen. A really great song and delivery. Right up there with your best stuff.
Loved it.

One of your best, My Snyder.
An exceptional write. Start to finish.
A beautiful production (also one of your best).
A heartfelt vocal delivery (also one of your best).
A joy to listen to.

OK..... I'll admit to bypassing this one a few times.....
One of these days I'll learn that I need to put your tunes on my top of my you gotta listen to this song right now list....
You're becoming quite the writer David. This is good.... no, that's not doing it justice.... this is GOOD.
I agree with Floyd's comments..... one of your best and man, that vocal is really sounding good. Whatever you did on that one, try to do that on all of them.
One of the best yet.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

David, this is your best to date. Your vocal is excellent, the lyrics were outstanding, the backing tracks and your playing fit perfectly and the mix was as good as it could get, i.e. perfect.
This is a keeper.

Well.... I'm too late! Wasn't on the forum on Valentine's Day.  But listened anyway! If I would have heard it the 14th I would have loved it. Pity......  Anne-Marie

David,
I really like the sentiments you express in these lyrics. What stood out to me most, though, was how very well everything -- singing, arranging, writing, production -- worked hand-in-hand to create an excellent work. This is definitely one to be proud of.
All the best,
Noel

I loved this tune David. The acoustic was so nice. Super vocal. Very cool lyric. Loved the mix as well. Everything so well balanced but distinct..
