Kiss Your Ring
© 2017 Kenny Leverett

Well the sun comes up
Every single day
And people like me
Try to make our way

Don’t want cause no trouble
No reason here to fight
But if you keep on pushing
I just might

You think that everything you have to say
Is so important that you should have your way
You act just like you are the hottest thing
Well I ain’t gonna kiss your ring

Cause people all around you paid their dues
And your crying constantly ain’t no excuse
You’d go to any length to make a scene
Well I ain’t gonna kiss your ring

The sun will shine
On all you do
Sooner or later
We’ll see what’s true

Don’t want cause no trouble
No reason here to fight
But if you keep on pushing
I just might

You think that everything you have to say
Is so important that you should have your way
You act just like you are the hottest thing
Well I ain’t gonna kiss your ring

Cause people all around you paid their dues
And your crying constantly ain’t no excuse
You’d go to any length to make a scene
Well I ain’t gonna kiss your ring

Thanks for sharing this with us 44kfl! Really enjoyed the guitars and drum tracks. Nice harmonies with the vocals too. Well done!

Kenny,

This is a great track! Love the "rolling" feel and excellent vocals. Love the little break with the vocal / backup voices - such a nice touch.

Bob

Kenny, you are so easy to listen to. Your natural musical abilities shine through. I like the write and melody. Good job on the production and the backing vocals. I always enjoy your distinctive style. Tom

Kenny,

Excellent.

Good write. Solid. Your melodies are SO good...

Good band, too - nice arrangement, nice mix.

Terrific vocal. Love the little background thing...

An excellent listen. You continue to shine!

Great song Kenny, really love the feel of this track and the lyrics.

Loved this Kenny. Super vocal. Reminded me of Brad Paisley. Super lyric and backtrack

Great 'up front' vocal
Super song....everything right where it should be
Another one to be very proud of

Hello, Kenny

Excellent vocals and harmonies!
This tune is so easy to listen to and very natural.
The RT choices of durums and mandolin are wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Thanks Joe!

Bob,

thank you for the listen and kind words

Love the write and the cool use of near rhymes. If I had those skills it would open up songwriting for me…a lot. And as floyd mentioned your melodies are always so engaging. They never fail to grab you from the get-go.

Your band is hittin’ the note and works perfectly with your vocal and the melody. And speaking of vocal…man, do you ever deliver this well.

Janice was singing along by the second verse

Kudos!!!!

J&B

I really love the vocals! <3 It's so easy to listen to. I agree with the others above who have said your natural music talent really shines through. Beautiful job.

Kenny

Really engaging, melodic and beautifully produced and performed.

Peter

Nicely done Kenny. Great lyrics, very powerful.

Really great one.
Very romantic in some passages.

Excellent real tracks setting.
Very well sung.

Sergio

wonderful composition and chord changes

excellent harmonies, well written and performed

much enjoyed!

ps your lead vocal here reminds me of Jason Isbell. I love his album "Something More Than Free"

Hey Kenny,

We're late to the party (Di's health issues put everything else on the back burner for a while). But glad we finally made it.

What's not to love about this one? The only thing that comes to mind is that it eventually comes to an end. Love the "fluid motion" of the backing tracks, particularly the drums and bass.

The vocal fills are fabulous! Great lyric, performance and mix. You're a true credit to the music creation world in our opinion. Keep writing and performing. We'll keep listening. Hasta luego, amigo.

Alan & Di

Hey John,

Thanks,

I don't even know I'm using near rhyme till someone tells me.

Ember,

thanks Peter

Hey Brad,

Thanks David,

Thanks Sergio,

Thanks Lawrence for the kind words,

Jason is probably my favorite artist these days and I love that album too.

Thanks Alan & Di,

appreciate the kind words, hope you both are feeling well and

looking forward to the weekend

Couldn't agree more Kenny!! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks Torrey,

I'm here to listen to your new one (mix) today!

Hi Kenny.

So, SO, late to this one and I think most of it's been said already.

Anyway, loved the whole thing.

I'm sure I could hear a bit of Dylan in the vocal phrasing, but I didn't see anyone else picking that up. Sounds like it could have come from the Highway 61 album, which is a favourite of mine.

Going back for the third listen!

Cheers, ROG.

Thanks ROG,

never too late!
appreciate your kind words

44kfl, sounds great.

Thanks Charlie
