Ain't Done Lookin' Yet

outlaw country, strict adherence to the in-lyric prompts, male vocals, no backup vocals

( a low volume but audible sustained B1 (60Mhz) drone  simulating a neon sign buzz, ONLY til vocals start)

[Intro]
(Sustained pedal steel guitar notes under Telecaster licks, 5-6 seconds)

[Verse 1]
[100 BPM]
(Melancholy shaky subdued vocal tone, dry vocals - no vocal effects for Verse 1)

You left me feelin' burned and abandoned
Like that barn out on county road four
I felt my heart break right down to the core
When you said you don't love me no more
Baby I tried to ask you
Just what you thought I'd done wrong 
But you wouldn't give me an answer; 
You just turned 'round and walked out the door

[Verse 1 – END]

[Chorus]
(Big lift - sustained B1 note drone simulating a neon sign, ONLY til end of second line of chorus)

So I'm sittin at my usual table
Where neon's buzzing and blue
And every song on the jukebox
Is one that reminds me of you
The whiskey smells a lot like regret
And beer just ain't gonna do
There's prob'ly no answers in a bottle, but. . . 
[Pause one beat]
I ain't done lookin' yet. 
Naawww. . .  I ain't done lookin' yet

[END]
[Tempo rises - 115 BPM]
[Verse 2]
(Lifted, recalling better times)
Honey, you wore my ring with pride
I felt the same with you by my side
( depressed tone)
Now it's layin' on our bedside table, 
And slowly losin' its shine

(Desperate inflection)

Darlin' I've never felt so alone
And the house don't feel like home,
Full of silence that cuts right down to the bone

[Pause 1 beat]

I really wish you'd talk to me
But you won't even answer the phone
So if you ever change your mind,
You'll know where I'm gonna be
[DO NOT REPEAT THE ABOVE LINE]

[Verse 2 – END]

(Short snare roll, drums catch up to the groove)
(Tempo increase to 120 BPM)

[Chorus]
(Big lift, low but audible sustained B1 note drone simulating a neon sign, ONLY til end of second line of Chorus)
Sittin at my usual table
Where neon's buzzing and blue
And every song on the jukebox
Is one that reminds me of you
The whiskey smells a lot like regret
And beer just ain't gonna do
There's prob'ly no answers in a bottle, but
(pause one beat)

I ain't done lookin' yet. 
Naawww. . . I ain't done lookin' yet
[DO NOT REPEAT THE ABOVE LINE]

Yeah. . . there's prob'ly no answers in a bottle but. . . 
(Pause two beats)

I ain't done looking yet.
[DO NOT REPEAT THE ABOVE LINE]
[DO NOT REPEAT ANY PRIOR LYRICS FROM THIS POINT]

(Low but audible sustained B1 note drone simulating a neon sign, til end of song)
[Outro - Telecaster and pedal steel over sustained drone in key of B1]
(Spoken ONE TIME ONLY)!

Set me up again there, buddy
[DO NOT REPEAT THE ABOVE LINE]

[ONE TIME]
[Instruments and vocals END]
