Hey Friend

This was a song I wrote on a whim after listening to a few new country CDs and strumming my awesome E-minor chord on the guitar. (Which, at the moment, is the best thing I can do. Haha. My G major is less than good, and while I can knock out the Chromatic Scale that's just not a hard task. So, strumming E-Minor makes me feel legit. I'm so lame.)

I know the tune, but trying to find it is killing me. Damn you, my limited two year piano skills and newbie guitar skills!

Oh well.

I'll find the matching guitar chords. Eventually.

Anyways~ Enjoy the rough draft of my song. :) Please don't steal it, famous singers and song writers who want to use my epic material!


Hey friend,
how've ya been?
Been a while since I've seen you around

Hey friend,
where've ya been?
it's so good to see you now

I hope life's treated you fair
though it certainly doesn't have to

and I hope you know,
wherever you go,
love's around you


It seems so wrong
it's been too long
since the last time I saw your face

I'll be strong
but when you're gone
this town is such a lonely place

But I know you were destined for greater things
than to stay still in this town

but when you're done
and your battle's won
I pray you'll come back around

and I hope life's treated you fair
though it certainly doesn't have to
and I hope you know
wherever you go
love's around you


remember old days
how we'd play
oh the memories with you I miss

and how the nights got colder
as we got older
and the very first time we kissed

that first kiss...
simple bliss...
the days and nights I miss....

so I hope life's treating you fair
though it certainly doesn't have to

and I hope you know
wherever you go
I love you
