Me and my Daisy Lou... .mp3

[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead riff, steady rock drums] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] Daisy Lou's an old girl with rusted steel and bone She's a piece of history left standing all alone When I need a haul-along she starts right up on cue But never when I want her to, oh Daisy you're untrue But something changed this morning, a quiet in the air She wouldn't turn, she wouldn't try, just left me standing there And in that silence I realized what I had to do It's time to say goodbye to you, my dear old Daisy Lou [Chorus] [vocal harmonies enter, Hammond B3 organ pads] Oh Daisy Lou, the road has reached its end My faithful, stubborn, unpredictable old friend I'm letting go of what we had to let a new day start You're leaving my driveway but you're never leaving my heart [Guitar Solo] [melodic electric guitar solo with bluesy bends and double-stops] [Verse 2] Years of dust and memories on that worn-out leather seat Every breakdown, every mile, felt like a small defeat But we made it, yes we did, through the rain and through the snow That's why it's breaking me apart to have to let you go [Chorus] [full band energy, driving bass] Oh Daisy Lou, the road has reached its end My faithful, stubborn, unpredictable old friend I'm letting go of what we had to let a new day start You're leaving my driveway but you're never leaving my heart [Outro] [electric guitar lead fills] Road has reached its end, all alone Yes you're leaving my driveway when you're never leaving my heart Goodbye Daisy Lou, goodbye [final acoustic guitar strum, cymbal wash]
