The "rough" lyrics, still a lot of work is needed goes like: je t'attends, j'ai le temps, meme dans la neige, du très mauvais temps, je me mets a mon aise et je t'attent, bienque je sais que cette semaine, je ne t'endant pas, mais j'attends, et blabla bla bla.

Let's see how much French I remember.  I wait for you.  I have the time.  Even in the snow, of really bad times.  I put on my...something...and I wait for you.  Even though I know that this week, I don't hear you, but I wait.  Something like that, haha, it's been a while.

Okay, kinda figured out what to do with this.  Thanks for encouraging me to finish it.  My first song.

Well thanks for even looking at it.  I sat down here at lunch and finally came up with some music for a chorus.  I'll write the words tonight and see what y'all think.

You're right, I just kind of wanted to get something down.  Hopefully I can get creative again and fill it out.  I don't know how you all crank these out so fast!

I spent a Summer cashiering at Wal-Mart once.  A bunch of the cart guys quit, and since I was one of the few young male cashiers, I got sent out almost every day.  Not a fun job.  And it's still hard work with the cart-pusher!  A well-needed tribute.

I just found this site and was really impressed with all of the originals on here (Mike, I really like Stuck in a Tree).  So, I'll offer one of my own.  Edit: sort of a full song now...
