"Getter Done" a Hook original for C&WFest

[Hook]

I got this baritone uke on Saturday for $40 off craigslist.



It plays pretty nicely and I'm enjoying the standard baritone strings it has on it. The last baritone I had I put on the soprano/baritone strings so this is is lower & more mellow. Like having  classical without the low E & A . I wrote & recorded this last night in the car. Might bring it to the band but I really dig this bare bones, just me & the rain recording.

Getter Done

written & performed by Hook

I'm lost within and full of doubt
A stranger's face is what I wear when I go out
And I believe there is a time for almost anything
And the time for excess is now

And I can feel the truth harassing me
It's in the shape of the tone not always what you see
And I believe you can accomplish almost anything
The time to getter done is now

Getter done
Take it down
Seize the day
before the sun goes down
Keep the moment in locket on a chain
Avoid all the pain
Getter done

I feel my boots are full of lead
My saddlebags are empty my horse hasn't been fed
My 6 shot's unreliable and I don't have any bullets anyways
& the time to getter done is know

This works really well as it stands. Love the stripped down vibe & the sound of the rain in the background adds to the atmosphere

Is it still raining in Florida bro, it fits the mood of the song perfectly. Love the sound of the new uke, another super hook tune.

What a great ballad. The rain is inspired.  If I had a cigarette lighter I would have been waving it.  In the rain.
