about

My good friend Sam Henley and I have much in common. We both come from musical families and we both love all kinds of music. Sam and I have worked together at our "real jobs" for several years and we spent about 9 months in a rock band together. One morning Sam was telling me about some "hook lines" that he had written and asked if I could listen to them and possibly co-write a few songs with him. This specific song was given to me on the afternoon of Sep 16th and on the morning of Sep 17th I wrote the rest of the song. Sam's original chorus written in his handwriting is pictured above. My notes are pictured as well. We are going to continue working on the song and eventually get it "out there". This is what music should be ya'll. Sharing and creating.

lyrics

Getting over you
Henley/Carroll – 2013

Drove away one last time now I’m countin highway lines (in the rearview)
Hell, I couldn’t read her mind and my patience were in overtime (for too long)
We don’t feel like we used to feel So we made one last deal

Chorus:

Oh, april’s showers might bring may flowers, But right now, right now my skies are blue
I can see wheat fields whippin in the wind Knowin I’m never comin back again
Right now, right now my skies are blue Oh, darling this is getting over you

Even with a sunny sky, I know the clouds can gather in
Thunder roll and lightning strike, more storms are surely up ahead
So with my hands upon this wheel I’m gonna drive until love’s real…

Repeat Chorus:

How can you look me in the eyes with a straight face and those crooked lies?

Chorus Out:
