Wyrd Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Could a mod merge this with his other stuff? Jim, could you please post this in one thread, I don't see the need for separate threads whenever you have lyrics of a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Colyer Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Satisfied This is a traditional country song I had from the 70s. I dug it out in 1997 and recorded it with a girl named Rachel from Louisville. Rachel's inner circle thought she was the next Patty Loveless. That never happened, but Rachel is happily married today with two kids. I returned to Nashville and started writing Shania Twain influenced songs. I got rid of my bed and threw my mattress on the floor. I put a Shania poster on my wall. I thought if I am going to be a songwriter, I will live the hippie life.

Jim Colyer Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 If It Wasn't Love This is a work tape. The song is about my divorce. It is a duet. I will record it in Nashville with two singers I have picked out. http://jimcolyer.com/sitebuilder/flash/player?f=/music/flash/playlist.xml%3Ft%3D91 We had our time together We have a son On the bottom line That's all that matters It was warm There were feelings If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It We came very close To the real thing The years I spent with you Were the best years of my life If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It We made all those changes I knew you cared We shared our dreams We had a happy home But I can still recall Your daddy in a U-Haul You rode off in the night Leaving me alone If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It We came very close To the real thing The years I spent with you Were the best years of my life If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It solo (chorus) If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It We came very close To the real thing The years I spent with you Were the best years of my life If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It If It Wasn't Love It Was Something Like It Jim Colyer ascap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Rez Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I love the lyrics to this song. I know it's not easy writing about bad times, but I've taught myself to focus more on the positives, versus the negatives, usually shown in my writings.

Wyrd Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Uhhhhhhh, why doesn't this guy post them all in one thread? Jim, please post them in your thread. Not only do the others remain available for others then (if anyone would be interested in them), but also it keeps the music section from clogging up.
