I posted this song about 10 years ago.
It was written well before that (1979).
I was never completely satisfied with the piano track.

In my opinion, BIAB is lacking when it comes to "singer-songwriter style piano RTs".
I've requested that more be added. Hoping that that happens in the next release.

Since it has been 10 years, I decided to walk my way through all the piano RTs to see if any added in the last 10 years would do the trick.
I did find ONE piano RT that gets closer to what I'm looking for.
I think there should be a LOT more - therefore, the wishlist item

A waitress I knew told me her story.
I made it rhyme.


CHOKING

i've been here since ten this morning
there's no end in sight
just my luck, i get stuck
with all the drunks tonight
when it comes to talking troubles
i might raise my voice
i'm working as a waitress
cause i've got no choice
my feet hurt so badly
i can barely stand
that busboy's so damn lazy
he won't lend a hand
another dollar tip
another pack of kents
i'd quit right now if i knew how
else to pay my rent

   sometimes i wonder what it's all for
   life's just a b-movie with no back door
   is this someone's idea of a clever joke
   since i was seventeen
   i've been choking

my old man past away
seven years it's been
a heart attack at fifty-two
his job did him in
you bust your [*****] all your life
but it never pays
he left me here with nothing
but three kids to raise
i'm forty-six tommorow
you think my children care
it gets to where you count on them
not being there
they say to set your sights
on the highest star
that's just to keep you from seeing
where you really are

   sometimes i wonder what it's all for
   life's just a b-movie with no back door
   is this someone's idea of a clever joke
   since i was seventeen
   i've been choking...



Have a smoke. A cup of coffee. A listen.
