Lyrics

Maybe I'll Write a Song ©2012 Janet Steely/ JoJo McHenry

Intro Chorus:
Maybe I'll write a song about the way I feel uh huhh
Maybe I'll write a song about turning wheels.
How the sun never seems to shine on a cowboy's heels.
How my heart tries to run from love that's real

Verse1:
I've got miles and miles of highway / 'cross my back now.
These ol' turning wheels / help me deal / with life's pain
Are you smiling as the sun peeks through your window pane
I remember how we danced / in the summer rain

Chorus:
Maybe I'll write a song about the way I feel uh huhh
Maybe I'll write a song about turning wheels.
How the sun never seems shine on a cowboy's heel.
My stubborn heart tries to run from love that's real

Verse 2: It's been forty days since I left Colorado
I wonder if you knew / just how much I care.
Now I am starring at the white lines / on a black top road
Thinkin' / how you looked with / moonlight in your hair
Chorus:

Bridge: Turnin' wheels turn around, roll on strong, I'm goin' home.
Gonna sing my song

End chorus::
[hey] Baby I wrote a song about the way I feel ... uh huhh
Darlin my heart beats strong with love for you still ...
You've turned this cowboy's heart around like a turning wheel
Baby, baby I need to know, How do you like my song?

Fabulous production values in this track, great writing (both lyrically and musically), great vocals. Excellent work!

great writing, both lyrically and melodically, awesome vocals.

Vocally really strong delivery, just a couple questionable spots (noted below). I found the song interesting and enjoyed it both times through.
Also, good guitar work, elegant
"Pouring rain" just rings for me. Excellent vocal delivery. Also, the bridge is very well written.

The vocal is nice. The singer's voice has a pleasant tone. There's nice rhyming in the lyrics. The hook, turning wheels, piques interest. Guitar work is nice-very pretty. Recording is good.
