Rocks At Heaven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XkCvIAKYnU
When your first love got stolen away
You took God’s name in vain
After you lost your very best friend
You cursed Him again and again
Pre
All that wrong thinkin I've been there
Angry as hell at the Man Upstairs
Ch
But If life gives you lemons
Not peaches
Make meringue pie with Jesus
Your words are like skippin stones
Headin for the Holy Ghost
Try out the 11th Commandment
Cuz one day you'll be leaving
And don't throw rocks at heaven
v2
Some days I get to talking trash
Fall from grace and land on my ass
Stop believing in Creation
And start showing the devil my appreciation
Pre
But every time I close my eyes and say a prayer
Damned if the Lord don’t answer it, I swear
Ch
But If life gives me lemons
Not peaches
I'll make meringue pie with Jesus
My words are like skippin stones
Headin for the Holy Ghost
I'll try out the 11th Commandment
Cuz one day I'll be leaving
And don't throw rocks at heaven
Bridge
The Lord’s house is a glass ceiling
What goes up must come down
Watch that name calling going around
Ch
And If life gives us lemons
Not peaches
Will make meringue pie with Jesus
Our words are like skippin stones
Headin for the Holy Ghost
Will try out the 11th Commandment
Cuz one day will be leaving
Don't throw rocks
And don't throw rocks at heaven

Oh, that was just brilliant! I swear if I closed my eyes I'd say I was listening to John Prine only better.
If I could write a tenth as good as that I would be happy.
Going back to listen again.................and again

Hey Elvis, I'm a newbie to the forum. I liked this tune and your delivery. The production is tight and professional. Thanks for sharing!

Lets talk about songwritting . what did I do ? I kinda broke the the keychain melody wise
How many times did it take to get that chorus to work transitioning from verse ? A few times and one bad studio engineer that knew nothing , but claimed to.
Just because you own a studio does not make you a pro. Lesson learned .
Also I tagged 2 lines from v1 at end . Did it work ? I believe so
thanks Rob , write on !!!

Wow my friend, you certainly have a way with words. You put things over in such a way that I can't help but be drawn in. Another fabulous creation. Quite apart from your excellent vocal, I love the instrumentation here. You should be proud of what you do. It's an inspiration.😀

I went back at this. The Songwriting: I like the tag at the end. I like the A-B of the Verse Chorus it's a good contrast!
Overall, I find this one super listenable. You have a really cool voice.

The rule usually in a tag is a few lines of v1
I used 2 lines and end song on a verse melody
It works
Thanks Derry
