*** Turn Around ***

[Nelson]

Hey folks... hope this fine summer's day finds everyone in good spirits.

Here's another possible entry to that imaginary album I've been working on for quite some time, now.  

As always forgive my fumbling about on the instruments, though I did have fun.  

                        The message: remember what you have before you go throwing it away.

Turn Around
lyrics and music by MisterNelson

Verse
My good friend stopped by today, says his life was going astray
and there're a million places he'd rather be than home.
She used to see the best in me, her attitude now testing me
cause everything I do seems to be wrong.
From the way I chew my food, to the way I tie my boots
and the way I cut that grass, ain't never right.
As he recounted all the fights and his loneliness at night,
I stopped him and said brother turn around

Chorus
Turn Around here, wipe away your tears and remember the good times that you've had.
Though I'm not into giving advice, here's a piece I'll share tonight,
sometimes to move ahead you gotta turn around.

Verse
I heard from the wife of the friend about quarter til 10
I said I don't know where he is if he ain't home
She said lately we just fuss and fight, til I finally asked him why
everything I say and do is wrong.
From the way I cook the food, to the length of the honey do
and the way I clean this house is never right.
As she recounted all the fights and her loneliness at night
 I stop her and said honey, turn around.

Chorus
Turn Around here and wipe away your tears and remember the good times that you had.
Though I'm not into giving advice, here's a piece I'll share tonight,
sometimes to move ahead you gotta turn around.

Verse    
Not so long ago, while out on the road, after another big ole fight.
Hating my life - Blaming my wife - I took a young filly for a ride.
Her kiss is so soft and sweet, reminds me how we used to be and I feel my heart breaking up inside.
As I recounted all the fights and my loneliness tonight, she smiles and says honey
turn around.

Chorus  
Turn Around here and wipe away your tears and remember the good times you've had, here.      Though I'm not into giving advice, here's a piece I'll share tonight,
sometimes to move ahead you gotta turn around.

Dud what a good song, you tell a story in a way that is so captivating. I always love your tunes but this is really top shelf, maybe the best of the best. The upbeat feel of it works well and gives me  slightly different Mister Nelson & I dig it. You have a fan here my brother!
Rock On!

Wow this is so good,there's a guy I heard called Joe pug and his vocal reminds me of yours.
This is a well structured song and not only does it capture your ears musically,it draws you into the story.
There are songs that come on to this site that capture me in this way from the opening notes and this is one of them.
A brilliant piece of songcrafting.
