My wife and I were watching TV one night and a commercial for camping gear came on and I guy said, "If you're like me..." I told my wife Donna, "I'm not like that. I don't even want to be like that. I should write a song called 'If You're Like Me.'"

That was the original title of this but there are other songs with that title (-which is permissible but why court confusion?). So I went with the first line of the chorus, which also works.





But If This Is My Last Day, That's OK by Mark Rhodes
I just got BIAB 2021 Ultra Pak but it was not used for this. This is the 2018 version, Dreamy Pop Quintet in G at 110 bpm. I muted the two guitars for the most part. (My Tele plays throughout the song.) The organ plays on the intro and chorus but not during the verses.

Vocal was done with CLA Vocals plug in on Rock Man preset.

But If This Is My Last Day, That's OK
Words & Music by Mark Rhodes

If you're like me, you don't wanna work at all.
Play guitar, write songs, watch a little football.
Read old books, take long walks in the local park.
God help me if I have to drive after dark.

[PRE-CHORUS]

I didn't see it coming
I'll hate to see it go.

[CHORUS]

But if this is my last day---that's okay
How did I measure up? Well, who's to say?
You want some famous last words, I'll quote my bride:
“Honey, put some pants on 'fore you go outside.”

If you're like me, you get called a bum a lot
And told you really don't deserve any good thing you got
“You're indifferent, lazy, you just stumble along
When life kicks your [*****], you just write another song.”

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

When I was a boy, I knew that I could fly
I didn't need a plane, or a reason why.
I was swirled up tingling into the moonlit sky
And I'm still, I'm still, I'm still enjoying that ride.

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

If you're like me, that's all you got to say.

"If I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often." Leonard Cohen
