SOBER (Blue Eyed Soul Cover 1)

Gospel Stomp, 12/8 Foot-stomps, Hand-claps, Gritty Female Alto, A Cappella Grit, No Piano

[Intro]
(Heavy boot-stomp: STEP-STEP-STOMP. STEP-STEP-STOMP. Rhythmic hand-claps start. 12/8 triplet feel.)
(Whoa, mmm-mmm... Yeah!)
[Verse 1]
[Style: Gritty, rhythmic shouting, no music]
In the back of the lot, staring at what I’ve got
You say you’re moving, you're going far (Mmm-hmm)
In the corner of the bar, I don't even look
I’m just counting the miles to where you are
Where you are
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build: Add deep, soulful humming behind the vocal]
Yeah, when the room starts spinning
I’m the only one who isn’t winning
(Not winning tonight!)
[Chorus]
[Energy: High intensity Gospel Shout. Maximum foot-stomp volume.]
You, you only want me when the shift is over
(Only when it's over!)
You only want me when the world gets colder
(When the world gets colder!)
You only want me when you’re sober
You, you only want me when the lights go down
When there’s nobody else left in this town
No composure
You, you only want me when you’re sober
(When you’re sober!)
[Verse 2]
[Style: Raspy, powerhouse delivery, rhythmic and fed up]
Stop messing with my head, go home to your own bed
I’ve got a long drive, I’ve got work to do
Me and the road, instead of you (Ah!)
I’ve got grease on my hands, I’ve got dirt on the floor
I’m done with the games, I don’t want 'em no more!
(Don’t want 'em no more!)
[Bridge]
[Style: Rhythmic breakdown. Just stomps and claps. Vocalizing.]
(Whoa! Hey! I said I'm done! I'm done!)
[Chorus]
[Maximum Grit: Soulful shouting, strained delivery]
You, you only want me when the shift is over
(Only when it's over!)
You only want me when the world gets colder
(When the world gets colder!)
You only want me when you’re sober
You, you only want me when the lights go down
When there’s nobody else left in this town
No composure
You, you only want me when you’re sober
(When you’re sober!)
[Outro]
(The stomp continues alone for two bars: STEP-STEP-STOMP.)
Baby, you only want me when you're sober...
(I'm going home. I'm going home now.)
(Final loud hand-clap.)
