A website can sometimes provide benefits that you don't expect.
Because of BobbyFaria.com, my 2nd cousin Rick Pimentel, who lives in New Hampshire (and I didn't know existed) found me on the internet and contacted me. It turns out that Rick's brother Chris is a talented songwriter and bluegrass performer. (Chris is the two legged one in the picture to the right.)
Chris lives just over the Massachusetts-New Hampshire line in Portsmouth and he had written this song and sent me a recording of it. When I played the MP3, his lyrics really spoke to me. I knew I had to do a cover version of it.
He was kind enough to give his permission to go ahead ... so here is my way more rowdy version.
Thanks Chris !!
lyrics
==========================================
I don’t mind helping you when you’re in trouble
even though it’s a wastin' my time, but don’t get me wrong.
I gave you all I got to give .. but now you want double
So the money I make next week .. it’s already gone
CHORUS:
I’m not asking you to-pay-back-all-the loans
but the well is all dried up and I’m down to the bone
so baby how will you get blood from a stone ...
On the day we met you told me I had what you needed
All for you and none for me .. well that wasn't very fair
on the night you left you ripped me open … and left my heart bleeding
But now that you’ve gone away … I really don’t care
Chorus
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Still.. I don’t mind helping you ‘cause you’re in trouble
Yeah I know... I’m wasting my time, but don’t get me wrong.
Ya know I gave you all I got to give .. but now you want double
Every Penny I Make .. is already gone
