Скачать или смотреть Shane Kelley - Singin' Proud Mary (demo)

A demo of a song I wrote earlier this week.

Lyrics:

Every time he walks out the door
She takes herself a seat on the kitchen floor
And she keeps it all together til she hears his engine hum

And with the turn of a key, she breaks down to cry
Tears of memories flowing from her eyes
And she thinks of all the things in life she could have done

That ol boy is a cold hard mess
Got a heart made of stone pumping in his chest
Yeah you can’t help but think that his mind has been left behind

She’s walking down by the creek, she loves to feel the water flowing through her feet
Begins the day the same way it ends
Singing Proud Mary to the river bend
Do anything to make him smile even though she knows she’s living in denial
Lies on her back and stares up at the sky

Morning comes and he’s all alone
Never thought he’d come back to an empty home
And a letter on the counter saying “Lord know's I tried”
So he’s heading down to the river bend
With every single thought going through his head
When he stops in his tracks cause the site of her caught his eye

She’s laying down by the creek, clutching to a locket with no heartbeat
He’s falling down to his knees, praying to the lord that this can’t be
Do anything to bring her back
Feeling shame for the years of abuse and neglect
Lies next to her and stares up at the sky
