Diane Tegarden | | Hi Everybuddy!!!!
I went out to do some chores this morning, but had to stop and write down this little song for Gazelle, a Ryze friend who is moving this weekend!
Cardboard Box Blues
by Diane Tegarden
07/30/07
V1:
I’ve stacked and sorted boxes
I’ve tossed and cleaned and spent
On packing tape and marking pens,
Til my back is broke and bent.
I’ve labeled and I’ve suffered
No ifs or ands or buts
For every item carefully wrapped
My fingers go cramped and cut.
Bridge:
But it’s all gonna be worth it
Cuz the next place
The living won’t be so rough.
Chorus:
Styrofoam peanuts caught in my hair
I’ve moved 13 times in seven years
To get from here to there.
I guess you could say I’m a gypsy
And it wouldn’t be the end
Cuz I’m telling you I got those ole cardboard box blues again.
V2:
My clothes are ragged and filthy
There’s magic marker on my hands,
My best dress used as a dusting cloth,
Now it’s time to make new plans.
I’ve said my goodbyes
And told some lies
The truth apparent on my face
I know it’ll be better when we’re in our new place.
Chorus:
Styrofoam peanuts caught in my hair
I’ve moved 13 times in seven years
To get from here to there.
I guess you could say I’m a gypsy
And it wouldn’t be the end
Cuz I’m telling you I got those ole cardboard box blues again.

Can't you just hear the twang of a country western guitar in the background?
I'm rooting for all of you who are moving right now!
Energetically Yours,

Jenny | | Lol :) That was great! I'm actually listening to Muddy Waters "I'm a King Bee" right now as I was reading this and it went along excellently ;)
Not quite western twang, more down-south blues, but still, it worked ;)
Warmly,
Jenny:)Private Reply to Jenny | | Aug 04, 2007 4:15 am | | re: re: original song about moving day..."The Cardboard Box Blues" | # |
Diane Tegarden | | Thanks Jenny, someday I'll run into a singer who needs some songs, and Ka-POW! I'll be in business!!
