Do It Better - YouTube

A while back a musician friend of mine said "You need to write a friggin' happy song once in a while" So I thought I'd try to have a little fun with a sorta love song . . .

This is the only one of my songs (so far) that was, with the exception of vocals, done completely in BiaB. VIDEO was done with Photoshop 7 and Clipchamp

If you do watch the video version I would love your critique of that as well

As usual I made my own "style"

LYRICS

In my life I’ve met some folks that didn’t like me much
If they heard my name they’d probably say “That no good such and such”
They can tell ya stories of the stupid things I’ve done
They’d prob’ly say I’d do ‘em all again

I ain’t never been that smart but I ain’t never been that dumb
Ain’t never been that lucky but a couple times I’ve won
Ain’t never been in jail well maybe just that once
But I’ve tried to do it better since I met you

Now I have known some real nice ladies sometimes late at night
A couple of ‘em stayed a while but we never got it right
They prob’ly tell you stories of the bars and bein’ stoned
They’d talk about the nights they spent alone

I ain’t never been that good but I ain’t never been that bad
Ain’t never been that happy but I’ve never been real sad
Ain’t never been in love well maybe just this once
And I’ve tried to do it better since I met you

Fiddle

I ain’t never been that good but I ain’t never been that bad
I’d like to make you happy and I don’t wanna make you mad
Ain’t never been in love but I’d like to try it once
And I’m trying to do it better since I met you

I ain’t never been that smart but I ain’t never been that dumb
Ain’t never been that lucky but a couple times I’ve won
Ain’t never been in love but I’d like to try it once
And I’m try'n to do it better since I met you
I’m try'n to do it better since I met you

Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks. -Waylon Jennings
