#bluegrass #guitar #mandolin #fiddle #vocals I wrote this within the hour, but was having some trouble with my computer and have finally resolved the issue. I immediately thought of bluegrass as a great format for this and had fun putting it together.
Lyrics
I Can Explain
You look at me like there’s something wrong Make me feel like I don’t belong You scowl at me with such deep disdain Just hang on babe, I can explain.
You know we’ve been on this road before. Yet we keep coming back for more. Never meant to cause you any pain Just listen, hon, I can explain.
It’s a hard life out there on the road So far from home, so lonely and so cold. Missing you just drives me so insane So come on, babe, I can explain.
Bridge: I know I said I’d call you every night I never meant for it to start a fight I know this sounds so weak and so damn lame But listen love, I can explain.
You look at me like there’s something wrong Make me feel like I don’t belong You scowl at me with such deep disdain Just hang on babe, I can explain.
Outro: You scowl at me with such deep disdain Just hang on babe, I can explain. Just hang on babe, I can explain

Blue Grass was the perfect direction for this. It's catchy and fun, you come in and say what you want then you're done. Really nice work!

Great job. Good use of the prompt in your lyrics.

I love so much that we never get the explanation. Such a real life slice of Americana marital argument. I was dancing in my kitchen.
