When my wife and I were in the mountains for our anniversary earlier this month we saw we were staying in a place called “Aho.” Aho, NC. The moment I saw that sign I asked myself, WWFD? (What would Floyd do?) The answer was obvious. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/ahoAhoBy David Snyder CH: Well I was born and raised in Aho Aho, NC There’s a little bit of Aho in everybody But I whole lot more in me A whole lot more in me V1 When I was in the first grade A bully swung at me So I poked him in the eyeball Sent him to the infirmary My mama said now son That poor boy can’t see I said mama I got some Aho A little Aho left in me CH: Cause I was born and raised in Aho Aho, NC There’s a little bit of Aho in everybody But I whole lot more in me A whole lot more in me V2 At a country square dance A drunk man touched my wife So I got out my tire thumper Beat him within an inch of his life The judge said now son Explain this one to me I said your honor just go ahead and convict me Of Aho in the first degree CH: Cause I was born and raised in Aho Aho, NC There’s a little bit of Aho in everybody But I whole lot more in me A whole lot more in me Bridge: And sometimes you got to be an Aho Just to protect your dignity And you have every right to be an Aho In the land of the brave and the free CH: Cause I was born and raised in Aho Aho, NC There’s a little bit of Aho in everybody But I whole lot more in me A whole lot more in me Words and Music by David Snyder 2018, ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder, Acoustic guitars and vocals, production, engineering RealTracks in style: ~~683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 838:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBalladClean Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 785:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming CrossoverSnappy Sw16 090 RealDrums in style: PopModernGrooveSync16^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Also: Pedal Steel, Resonator and Banjo in places

Wow, this is fun- I love place names & this is a double take town for sure... as are your lyrics (glad you left out the Gap!).
Almost in Tater territory, but there`s a righteous message here too.
Hope its pretty country there.
Robert

One of the hardest things to do is write a hit song in a Dog eat Dog world.
The other thing is write comedy in to a song.
That was a good old fun song.
Well done.

HAHAHAHA!!!
A well written, clever/funny lyric (without getting too far out there).
I like the band - fits the song well - has a sound/feel like Darius Rucker's version of Wagon Wheel...
A good listen. fer sure.

David this is great! What a great play on words! PS - if you haven't heard this then check out Jimmy Buffet's Were Born an A**hole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-C8l1L-nIEYour song reminded me of this classic.

David,
This was total enjoyment! No double entendres hit the fan with this. Clever lyrics that were purposefully and perfectly assembled without ever once crossing the line. That's skill!
The band was excellent too and a terrific fit.
It's two thumbs up from me.
All the best,
Noel

Ha! Love it! Super catchy, well written and produced song that you can't help but smile about. The Aho/A Whole was brilliant! Great job David! You were VERY smart not to make this song about "A Hoe."  We don't need a song about a tilling and/or raking implement. For what it's worth, the chorus is stuck in my head now.  Congrats on your anniversary btw!

David,
Some folks a way with words - you have a litany of ways with words. Loved this - still smiling! You know how to push the limits while not going outside the lines (although it is fun to color outside the lines one in a while. Happy anniversary! Loved it!!!

Hello, David
Really fun song!
I agree with Robert.
Almost in Tater territory, but there's a righteous message here too.
Hope its pretty country there.
By the way, in Japanese, "Aho" (pronounced〘ɑho〙 not 〘eɪho〙) means ”a fool", so I was astonished a bit when I saw the title.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
