#533682 - 04/20/19 05:47 PM [User Showcase] New Song - Texas In My Bones
Registered: 06/17/10 Posts: 1943 Loc: Canyon Lake, TX Steve Young Expert Registered: 06/17/10 Posts: 1943 Loc: Canyon Lake, TX	Just finished my first song, after taking a few months off for a forced (by my wife) vacation. I am so blessed to have a wife who really cares about my health, and well being. She knew I needed some time off from the daily grind of life. But I am glad to be back, and happy to submit my first new effort. This is called Texas In My Bones, and you can't name a song that name, and it not be a country song. So here goes. Most of the backing is Band in a Box, along with some piano and organ played by me. I hope you enjoy this one. Texas In My Bones - SoundCloud Texas In My Bones ©Stephen W. Young It was a rainy night in Georgia When I packed my bags to leave Nothin' against Atlanta It just didn't work for me But the seasons change, and lead us To the place we're meant to be So i headed for my home I know some folks in Louisiana Who just love to take me in So I stopped and drank strong coffee And reminisced with my old friends And we laughed and shared old memories Until the break of dawn And it was time for moving on 'Cause I've got Texas in my bones I've seen the Eastern Shore of Virginia And the San Fransisco Bay The mountains of Colorado Are everything they say And I thank God I was born and raised In the good old USA But I've got Texas in my bones I love the red dirt and the pine trees And the quiet, simple life The beaches of South Padre 'Cause that's where I met my wife The road to San Jacinto Where I learned to drive my car My roots run deep In the heart of the state they call Lone Star Now I hang my hat In the hills, just North of San Antone 'Cause I've got Texas in my bones I've got Texas in my bones I've got Texas in my bones ===== Here are the RT's and RD's...

It just says what it says from the "steal" in the first line through the "steel" playing softly and sounds instantly classic. _________________________ BIAB 2020 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit.

Alan Alan, I really appreciate your kind words! When I was young, I envisioned myself (like most kids my age) a rock-n-roll singer. Now the more I try to sing rock, the more it comes out sounding like Mickey Gilley! So I guess I'm just an old country singer. Originally Posted By: rsdean Steve, Such a great song!

Get Inspired with the Band-in-a-Box® Title Generator!

There can be many triggers that could inspire you to write a song... but what if you're wanting to write a song, and are having trouble finding the inspiration you need?

Jump start your creativity using the Title Generator feature in Band-in-a-Box®.

I love this feature - it delivers some beautiful results!

To access this feature:

Mac: select Edit | Chords | Auto-Generate Song Title menu command (control+shift+S). The song title will appear in the Title window! Repeat the Auto-Generate Song Title command until the program comes up with a suitable title for your song. Band-in-a-Box® will keep generating new titles for as long as it takes to get the right one.

Windows: click on the "Generate Title" button within the main screen of the program and you can choose to "auto-generate" a song title which will appear right in the Title field of your song, or for a more varied selection choose to "generate multiple titles" and you'll be taken to the Title Generator window, which can generate a list of 50 song titles for you!

I've just done this, and won't bother list all 50 here - but the "top 10" I've chosen from my generated list are:
Eloquent Laugh
Statuesque Luck
Considering a Rainbow
Brief Fling, Acknowledged
Something for a Sandpiper
Happy Runaround
Cheatin' Skies
Then Came a Rose
The Mention of My Love
Eternal Raincheck

Give it a try!

The resource for this feature can also be edited, allowing you to customize the results.
(to do this, review the file TITL1.TXT within the BB Data folder.)
