Just came to me. You know those three dots on the iPhone screen when the person you're texting is composing a message. And sometimes you know they're composing a message but decide not to send it or whatever and you see those dots but they disappear and then that's it.

That would be a great country song. Like a woman leaves her husband or something like that, and he texts her "I love you please come back" or something, and there are those three little dots blinking for a good solid couple of minutes, but then they go away and he never hears from her again.

Chorus:
Those three little dots on an iPhone screen
the only indication as to what caused you to leave
and now you're gone forever and all you've left for me
is three little dots on an iPhone screen

Anybody reading this in Nashville, you can have this idea. It's yours. You're welcome. Run with it.

Hmmmm...give me a bit and i’ll See what I can come up with

Finished it up
“Ellipses”

Vs 1:
Well I told myself the day you left,
It wouldn’t bother me at all,
But here it is at 2 am, again,
And I’m wishing you would call,
And as I lay here in the darkness,
This screen is shining out so bright,
As three dots on my messages appear,
And then they’re gone like every night,

Chorus...
well I see those ellipses,
And they say you might miss me,
But you never seem to finish your reply,
Is it just time we’re wasting,
Words you keep erasing,
Wonder when you’ll send your last goodbye,
Tear stained pillows on your bed,
And it seems “i’m Sorry”’s left unread

Vs 2:
Well maybe one more time I’ll tell you how I feel,
Perhaps this time it might go through,
As my words tell you the ways that I was wrong,
And how I can’t get over you,
But chances are you’ll just ignore them one more time,
Because it should be clear you’re done,
But those ellipses tease me that there’s one more chance,
So I’ll wait ‘til the morning sun.

Chorus...
well I see those ellipses,
And they say you might miss me,
But you never seem to finish your reply,
Is it just time we’re wasting,
Words you keep erasing,
Wonder when you’ll send your last goodbye,
Tear stained pillows on your bed,
And it seems “i’m Sorry”’s left unread

Pour me, pour me another drink
'Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
No more, hell no
I just want to sip 'til the pain wears off

I'm thinking more like a Chris Stapleton. I bet he could kill that song with a guitar in a smoky barroom with a glass of whiskey.

Here’s one I wrote a while back.

“You’re gonna miss me, more than the whiskey”


Vs 1:
You stumble in at 3am,
Like so many nights before,
And I can tell what State you’re in,
By how damn hard you slam the door,
And the smell of cheap perfume,
Can’t hide the liquor on your breath,
So in the morning your hangover,
Will be the only thing that’s left,

Chorus:

And you’re gonna miss me,
More than the whiskey,
You’re gonna reach for me,
Once the bottle, has gone dry,
Yeah It’s gonna hit her,
Stronger than liquor,
And in that sober Sunday morning sun, I’m gone,
‘Cause the whiskey won’t keep company for long,

Vs 2.:
There’s only so much you can take,
Before you finally give up hope,
And you’re trying to hang on,
But you’re running out of rope,
All the same apologies,
For all the nights I’ve paced the floor,
Now you can keep all your “I’m sorry’s”,
‘Cause I don’t need them anymore,

Repeat chorus



Got a feel kind of like this

I actually wrote and recorded "Missing You" about my ex decades ago, wish I would have copyrighted it because I'm almost positive no one done it before, still have the hand written lyrics and the CD

You play?

And how would someone else come up with the exact song as you?

Or are you saying just the title?

same song title, I guess the title itself doesn't take a whole lot of imagination, but my lyrics are funny as hell, anyone who's ever had a bad breakup and hears it laughs their arse off

I guess i’ll Post some of my funny ones here. If someone steals it, oh well, at least it will get played.

Beaches be crazy

Vs 1:
Toes digging into the sand.
Where the waves meet the shore,
Cold beer sitting in my hand,
Every sip makes me feel a little more,
Tipsy,
then it hits me,
Ain’t no time clock near,
On vacation,
No aggravations,
I came to party,
So let’s get it started right here,

Chorus:
They say beaches be crazy,
Layin’ out in the sand,
Spend the day being lazy,
Working on a sun tan,
With these cold margaritas,
You know things can get hazy,
All these hot senoritas,
You know beaches be crazy!

Vs 2:
Work each day ‘til the sun goes down,
To keep up with the bills,
But when summertime comes around,
Think I’ve earned a little time to chill,
Relax,
And just kick back,
In the midday sun,
String bikinis,
Look at the scenery,
No hurries no worries,
Let yourself go and have fun,

Chorus:
They say beaches be crazy,
Layin’ out in the sand,
Spend the day being lazy,
Working on a sun tan,
With these cold margaritas,
You know things can get hazy,
All these hot senoritas,
You know beaches be crazy!

Vs 3:
Sand castles and salty air,
Makes a man feel at ease,
Spend my days without a care,
Hear the music on the ocean breeze,
Getting hotter,
Two Pina Coladas,
On the radio,
Ain’t no troubles,
I’m seeing double,
T-shirts getting wetter,
It don’t get much better you know,

Chorus:
They say beaches be crazy,
Layin’ out in the sand,
Spend the day being lazy,
Working on a sun tan,
With these cold margaritas,
You know things can get hazy,
All these hot senoritas,
You know beaches be crazy!
