I don't want to be an ass, but I feel like a mule

by @mattpierce

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

My MIL is dying and the room where I usually record songs is being used, so I haven't been able to do much recording. Well, I complained about it once while running to the stores for groceries what I said was a bit too loud (I thought it was under my breath) "I don't want to be an ass, but I feel like a mule" so I quicky wrote this...

Lyrics

Running here, running there in the cold and the rain all you do is stare

Bed ridden for months never again to walk deciphering your grunts

I don't want to be an ass but I feel like a mule doing everything you ask

it cost too much for care too scary are those places the stories they share

So I run here and there in the cold and rain only because I care

I don't want to be an ass but I feel like a mule and the snow turns to grass

But, I'm going to be here to see you through wiping away a tear

Such an visceral yet honest and loving take on the situation. It would be interesting to hear it sung in a maybe country ballad style.

Why do they call you donkey?

"He alw..., He alw... He always calls me that!"

Old joke......

Sorry to hear about your situation. But some things are more important than songwriting sometimes....

I like the title and the execution!
