Title: One Eyed Tractor Pilot

[Verse]

 Feeling like a one-eyed tractor pilot

Plowing up fields of empty dreams

 That farm girl broke me Left me dry

 Took the milk Left no cream

 And I'm stuck here My heart a busted wheel

 [Chorus]

She left me with dirt

 She left me with dust

 Didn't even sweep

 Didn't even trust

 All I've got now's this aching blade

 And the only thing on my mind is getting laid

 [Verse 2]

I drink my coffee black as the night

 Swear at the stars

 They're too polite

 Her lipstick's still on my rearview mirror

 But her promises are nowhere near

I'll mend this heart with rusty steel

 [Bridge]

The barn doors slam

 The rooster crows

 She took my boots

 She took my soul

 I'm a one-eyed fool with no control

 Just a tractor pilot on a lonely roll

 [Chorus]

 She left me with dirt

She left me with dust

 Didn't even sweep

 Didn't even trust

 All I've got now's this aching blade

 And the only thing on my mind is getting laid

 [Outro]

The plow keeps turning

 The night stays cold

 Her shadow lingers

 My story's old

 But tomorrow's fields might just get made

 And the only thing on my mind... well

You know I ain't swayed

This is not my type of music, but I certainly appreciate the skill put into it. Great metaphor!

@Elvis Nash — This is a well-crafted modern-country rock track. Great acoustic guitar work. Your vocals work well in the song. Good lyrics, vibe, and mix. I enjoyed listening, man. Nice work! :D

I also liked the instrumental mix 2 of the track. Again, excellent acoustic guitar performance.

Cheers,
Joseph

Hey! Thanks, Elvis. All is well here, brother. I hope the same is true for you and yours.

Yeah, Nicky V did great with the guitar, and the BZ Lewis mix is excellent. That's my hope—to get in a studio with a professional sound engineer who understands how to balance and mix correctly.

I'm still writing my horror book and songs for it. I stay busy with my businesses, which keeps me away from writing. My book is the same topic as all my songs—beautiful women! ;D

Keep the good songs coming, Elvis. Write and record till you drop, man. We only have today. 8)
