A brothel song

Another poster talked about writing a love song, so as a creativity exercise I wrote a "kind-of" love song, but with a country "my wife left me and my truck won't start" feeling that involved brothels. I don't know musical nomenclature, but I envision this with a blues riff.:

Our love is like wrestling

but you slammed me on the mat​

I gave you my heart baby

and you stomped that sucker flat.
​

Like when Lord Hades

kidnapped Persephone​

That's how I feel baby

when you're not close to me​

Chorus:
So I'm now

a brothelllllll hoppin' man​

A smile and warm affection

they do everything they can​

I step forward, woman

you take a step back​

Your icy demeanor

is completely out of whack
​

As the final straw

you had the locks changed​

And then you stole my dog

you're totally deranged
​

<chorus>

They're there for me

whether day or night​

Like I'm escaping from darkness

and stepping towards the light
​

You were cold and distant

a countenance of stone​

But things've changed

I needn't be alone
​

<chorus>

 

Amen!

I think you just described my marriage. Parts of it, anyway.

 

Thanks for the compliment! (And hopefully the part my song didn't get right was having your dog stolen. Some lyrics should never be true-to-life.)

 

Actually, about the dog...no. My dog, Abigail, had to be put down before my ex and I split up. The funny thing is that she can’t seem to get a boyfriend after the divorce, but had no trouble at all with that during the marriage.

 

This could be a Marshall Tucker song! Thanks for the smiles, @Jim DiGriz

 

HA HA HA HA HA! VERY CLEVER! I LOVE IT!!!

 

I remember wanting to form a band that would mix metal and country. That song would almost be perfect.

 

Well, why not try setting it to music? Odds are that you'll have something with some elements you like on your first try, and you can improve it from there. (The song I listed here was not the first version - it took five iterations to get it the way I wanted it. In fact, the only stanza that is as I originally wrote it was the one about Persephone.)
