Some Thoughts Never Come Back

Original North Georgia country-blues honky-tonk, 72 BPM, warm organic studio mix, Fingerpicked acoustic, mandolin, dobro, fiddle, upright bass, brushed drums, Distinctive male Bubba lead and unmistakably female Darlene second verse and duet chorus, Clear storytelling, memorable melodic hooks, live ensemble feel

[Intro: original instrumental Holler motif] [Verse 1: Bubba, mature male] There were mountains that I climbed once Now they're bumps along the road There are worries I can wave at And others I still carry like a load [Chorus: Bubba male; Darlene female harmony] Some thoughts never come back Some just rattle down the track Some still knock upon my door Like they've knocked a thousand times before But I've walked through nights like that And some thoughts never come back [Verse 2: Darlene, female lead] One little worry looks so harmless Yet it drags me down the line I won't laugh at what another carries I can't see the trouble in their mind [Bridge: duet] I remember all my progress When the old fear has its say And keep walking toward the daylight [Final Chorus: full Holler Shakers] Some thoughts never come back Some just rattle down the track Some still knock upon my door Like they've knocked a thousand times before But I've walked through nights like that And some thoughts never come back [Outro: held resolved chord, no abrupt cutoff]
