Hi all. This is just another cry in your beer song.
All comments welcome. Rob4580


I sit at the bar wondering how I went wrong
While the juke box is playing one of the saddest songs.

I open my wallet and see a picture of you.
Oh if I could go back I'd know just what to do.


I throw back a whiskey with hopes of hiding the pain.
When I wake in the morning things will be just the same.

I throw back a whiskey with hopes of hiding the pain.
When I wake in the morning things will be just the same.

When I wake in the morning things are always the same
When I wake in the morning I only have my self to blame.

When I wake in the morning

Bob/Rob,
1st thing... please consider changing duke to juke!
This is almost as you describe it - it's almost what it says on the box!
This is just another cry in your whisky song.
Short and succinct - it does the job well: sad and suggests many other things but doesn't wallow in its own narrative,
GOOD ONE!

A throwback song, for throwing whisky down.

Nicely done.

I recognise that song pic, I used the exact same one for a song we did a while ago

Nothing wrong with using a classic theme in my book, good job on this.

Rob,

About as "classic" sounding as it gets. Nice job on this.

Good vocal. Good mix.

Nicely done Certainly a somber tune, but that's not bad by my books. It flows tremendously well, and is a great ode to the classic sad country style from back in the day. I enjoyed the harmonies on this, and the gentle and slow pace.

Thanks for sharing!

good solid country song here Bob, ejoyed!!! Cliff

Great work on this Rob, what a marvelous song I might say! The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and very soothing to hear. Good use of space on the guitar. Looking forward to hear more!

Great song Rob...
In a Texas beer joint...
This little waltz would crowd the dance floor...
Giving the guys a chance to polish their rodeo belt buckles
Yeah... all your songs are well-crafted but I really like the simplicity of this one!
BTW...
Add me to the list of those who have purloined that song picture.

"Giving the guys a chance to polish their rodeo belt buckles" Hahahaha Jim. Never heard that one.

This takes us back to an old classic "Old Flames" and we're taken back in a good way.

When I was in college, way way back, it was in a "dry" county and the closest bar was a cinder block country juke joint in the next county.
I learned to love country music there listening to songs just like this.

Thanks for the memories and well done all the way around!

All fixed Ray and thank you for your comment. Rob

Rob,
A new twist in your creative journey
Well executed and sung. I think soundcloud monster took a bite of quality, still sounds solid!

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

I love the laconic vibe all your songs have, makes it your own. Another good 'un.

Hey Rob ...

Love that smooth voice of yours! And you created a real throwback to some of the best classic country. I could easily imagine Willie Nelson having taken this to the top of the charts around 1980 or so. I enjoyed my listen a bunch!@

Alan

I don't drink whiskey but this song makes me wanna feel the same pain in the morning Great arrangement, everything works so well: the pedal and solo guitarists, vocals, backing vocals and that heavy snare.

Janne

Thank you David.

Many thanks Dave.

Thank you for listening Floyd. Rob4580

Thank you Deryk.

Thank you Cliff

Great job on a classic sounding country sad song Rob! Your vocal is excellent as usual! Short song but accomplishes a lot in that time! Thanks, Torrey

Hello Joe. Thank you for listening. Rob4580

Easy-going and sad old country song that even hits that old radio-friendly length. Nice work with this.

Hi Rob,

You've captured the sound of classic country really well. And the style sits very comfortably with you.

A good listen indeed!

All the best,
Noel

Oh, the morning after. Good song, Bob.

Hello Jim. You made me laugh with your comment.
Thanks for listening. Rob4580

I noticed I gave you 5 stars out of 5...
So I thought I'd listen to it again before disappears from my page 1...
I'm glad I did...
I know all of our opinions are subjective...
But... I really like this tune!

Thank you Ed.

Many thanks Jim. Rob4580
