I wrote this the end of last year. I woke up in the morning and the chorus lines came into my head. Took about 20 minutes to write the rest and come up with a tune. A homage to early 60s country. I have always loved the harmonies created by Buck Owens and Don Rich. https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com/track/there-goes-tomorrowThere Goes Tomorrow CHORUS There goes tomorrow Walking out the door All I’ve got are yesterdays There won’t be anymore I know why she’s leaving But she’s never left before There goes tomorrow Walking out the door How could this happen To put me in this spot Words I said things I did Without a second thought It’s too late I can’t turn back the clock It’s too late She won’t even talk CHORUS How can I get past this I’m barely hanging on Days of laughs nights of love Can’t face that they’re all gone I tell myself This really can’t be true Make time standstill Till I think things through CHORUS Real Tracks: 1697:Pedal Steel, Rhythm CountryDrivin8ths Ev 150 1669:Pedal Steel, Soloist CountryPaul Ev 120 1693:Bass, Electric, CountryDrivin8thsA-B Ev 150 2499:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm PopCountryBrent Ev 120 2499:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm PopCountryBrent Ev 120 RealDrums RockClassicBritEv^3-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Loose HiHat

Nice one - missing a honky tonk piano though.
Nicely constructed lyric.
Classic kick in with the hook structure too.
Well done.
Cheers

Hi Fred,
I think you might already know I'm a big fan of your music. This is just another reason to ingratiate that statement.
I've often been told to never start a song with the chorus. I have three songs that do just that, and I think it works, as it does with this song. As always, your vocal is excellent. Maybe just a tad more reverb would further embellish it. Just a personal opinion. Your voice always sounds good, regardless.
Nice backing tracks in support of everything else.
I really enjoyed this rocking little piece!
Take care.

Alan Thanks, Alan. I’ll check out the reverb. I recorded it a year ago and since then I have been encouraged to add a bit more. Glad you like my music. That means a lot to me. As for opening a song with a chorus, Merle Haggard wrote many of his best songs that way. This type of song establishes the big issue at the beginning and the verses fill out the details. Again, there are no rules, but sometimes there are a bunch of alternative rules.

Well done. Thanks, Ray. Piano doesn’t fit the 60s sound I was going for. Buck and Merle relied on guitars and pedal steel.

Hi, Fred. Great title - and the song uses it to excellent effect. Strong start with a catchy chorus, nice vocals and harmonies,and an excellent backing. As rayc says, a really well constructed lyric. Solid pop write, a pleasure to listen to. Lyrically, everything connects together smoothly. Love it!

Ha! Nice homage to Buck Owens and the Buckaroos! That was some band. Really nailed everything about that genre in lyrics, chords, melody and band composition. I did expect hear Buck's Texas twang, but that's only because everything that you've done led me there. Nice listen, brought back some good memories!

Fred,
When this started my first thought was - "Dwight Yokum"...then reading your notes, that made sense...
A solid write. Good BAND. Well sung.
Good mix.
Good stuff.

Great, upbeat old country song.
Like Ray said, all that's missing is an out of tune old upright piano.
Good stuff, keeps my toes moving.

Always fun, Fred. "There goes tomorrow" is a strange thing to wake up to, but, man, you turned it into a terrific and catchy song. Good band. Pedal steel and baritone is an excellent touch. A fun listen, and as I sing along I seem happy tomorrow is gone.

A fun listen, and as I sing along I seem happy tomorrow is gone. Thanks, Marty. I agree it was strange to wake up to this lyric. A year ago, after I quit drinking, I had a bunch of songs that appeared in my dreams or when I awakened. Never happened before. And, in time, it didn't reappear. Glad I got what I had at that time. Fred

fgrittner,
Cool classic county vibe. Nice vocal, pretty slick production . . . and a catchy chorus. A toe-tapper—however sad—-for sure. Well done!!

Fred, you really nailed that Buck Owens and the Buckaroos sound. Great mix! Loved the vocal and arrangement, but of course I did like Buck! (I miss programs like HeeHaw!) This was an absolutely outstanding song. You're from Minnesota? I never heard Da Yoopers sound like this
