Drunk in Wisconsin again

I originally wrote this song back in March of 2017 but we're still working the bugs out in January of 2018.  There is a lot of creative input from the other musicians and eventually you end up with a better stronger song. Plus when you work with other songwriters, only rehearse once a week and have gigs- things take a while.

Here is the current version. This is inspired by Brian Handeland who, when asked how he spent his weekend, responded with "I was drunk in Wisconsin." :)

Drunk in Wisconsin Datta 3/3/2017

Intro: C G F

C G Dm F

1. Been gone for 3 weeks ---seems like ten- didn't say goodbye .

A home, a place, where I belong- Might be a lie.

G F C G

And I've been to Mount Horeb—land of trolls – and a couple of bars

Played every song we knew- were paid in beer- then couldn't find our cars.

Am C

x So don't try to call me – got a gig in Milwaukee-

G F Am C

Playing 9-1 then drinking with our new friends relive past glories

G F C GF C GF

having so much fun drunk in Wisconsin again. And again

RIF Dm C G

2 The life of a musician---- is glamorous- can't remember why

Sometimes I try so hard ----- I no longer have to try.

Taking turns driving and reading every book we brought- together we're alone

Just left Eau Claire- and we're lost again- and I lost my phone.

CHORUS

RIF Dm C G

3. It's been 4 weeks now—-on the road- but hey, we're still alive

and I've written four new songs ---because they won't let me drive.

Hope my sister feeds my cat I shipped it to her on a bus.

Who ever said you can't make a living playing music on the road never met us

CHORUS CHORDS:

We'll survive ourselves and we'll survive each other- and think it all was grand

Won't be a household name- but what the heck. We're in a working band.

Chorus:

So Don't try to call me- got a gig in Milwaukee-

playing 9-1 then drinking with our new friends relive past glories- having so much fun

F C G F C G F C

Drunk in Wisconsin- again. And again and again

RIF Dm C G
