I watched the HBO series Sonic Highways yesterday - Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters on the road, visiting great US music towns and writing a song a week inspired by that town its musicians.
Yesterday was Nashville - and man was I inspired! Especially by Steve Earle. So today's ditty is based on his "Guitar Town."
Hey pretty lady, today is your day
'Cause today is your birthday and coming your way
Is this itty bitty ditty that we all can sing
Hope it gives your heart a zip of springy zing.
You’ve done a lot of great things, had a full, full plate -
Getting up early and staying up late.
So treat yourself right, put on some snazzy gown.
Here’s to you, Lisa – welcome to Birthday Town!
