Spontaneous Combustion

© annie 2006

1. Once upon a lifetime, I had a special gal:
sweetest little darlin' anyone could tell.
Sparkin' in the park, I'd never get to touch.
Hormones in an uproar to Spontaneously Combust.
My sweet little darlin' had to have her way,
respectin' her wishes, wait 'til the weddin' day.
The devil made me go to town, should've seen my dust!
Had to stop the turmoil or Spontaneously Combust

CHORUS
I got fired up on whiskey, found a brassy blond.
Woke in the mornin', knowin' I'd done wrong.
Someone told my darlin', should've heard her cuss:
Got so mad I thought she'd Spontaneously Combust.

2. Everybody saw me, smile turned around:
everybody knowin' why I went to town.
Mis'ry, heartaches, headaches, agony and more:
Whiskey and women: ain't been this fool before.
I still love my darlin': she could save my wretched soul
before I fell too far and couldn't climb out the hole.
Lost my little darlin': there was no more us.
Hadda stop carousin' or Spontaneously Combust!

CHORUS (changes)
I got fired up on whiskey, tequila, gin and rum:
Woke in the mornin': wished the end of the world would come.
Lost my little darlin': Lost her faith and trust.
Gotta stop carousin' or Spontaneously Combust

3. Woke up one mornin', in the county jail;
went before the judge who wouldn't grant my bail.
"Son", he said, "I can't allow you out on the streets,
endangerin' lives of everyone you meet.
Back to the jail cell I had to face the truth.
Called for a preacher, asked him what to do.
"Son", he said, right kindly, "to save your soul's a must,
else you'll go to Hell and Spontaneously Combust

CHORUS (changes)
Now there's no more carousin' with women, rum and gin.
Turned my life around, Got my darlin' back again.
Today we got married. Should've seen the fuss.
Felt so proud I thought I'd Spontaneously Combust.

I like this. good job.

For a minute there, i thought you should of made a fourth stanza about how you started turning your life around. but that would also cause you to make another chorus. so....chyea

Can't you see this guy singing this??

He's a gorgeous man!!!

Crazy Luv · 05-03-2006, 10:52 AM

if i knew that guy well and he wasnt rich, i would feel like giving him some money, so he could be one step closer to getting his face/teeth fixed.

Thanks guys for the visits and comments

it was a fun write-- for my ex son-in-law-- who owed me $55,000.00. I sued him but my daughter left him and she's fine and I have my $$ back

I sure can tell that this guy would surely sing this song only if it had a moccarana(sorry if spelled wrong) and a violin and a country background singer.
