Description

An acoustic guitar country blues number. This is a repost of one of my earliest posts. I have used au and eq to try and lessen room noise and make vocal clearer. I deleted a percussion track and moved the bass down in volume in the mix. This song is one of my favorites that I have written and used to be a staple when I played live.

Lyrics

I'm just a man, you know it's true
I'm just a man that's in love with you
So darling why don't you love me too

Just relax and take your time
Just relax and have a mighty fine time
And darling why don't you love me too

Some people they just don't understand
You can't live your life by sticking your
head in the sand
You can run but you just can't ever hide
It's like being on a crazy roller coaster ride

Wake up and look around
Smell that coffee it's special ground
And darling I'll grind some just for you

Play your music and make me sing
Walk with a wiggle and shake that thing
And darling why don't you love me too

Repeat chorus

	at first I heard a little doors lick Astute ears Bill! The Door's lick is hammering on an open G to G# in an open E chord. The bridge is built around a C#m which is probably where you are hearing the Kinks. Thanks for listening! Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Another great Bronco song Thanks Steve! I think I'm getting better at twisting the knobs and presenting a clearer sound if nothing else. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	The Essential Bronco You render a believable story here. Relaxed and melodious. I like your style! Very approachable lyrics.

Love the way it starts
When i hear guitarplay like this you have sold the track to me alredy! I think this still should be among your favourites :). Your voice reminds of someone i cant really tell, (maybe a country version of Jim morrisons voice?). your playing is so amazing!! wish I could play like that..... Keep up the good work!

Check out my latest song called No One will be looking in the places that you hide

	Love the way it starts Nice compliments, thanks Selters! My voice has been compared to Jim Morrison's before and I was a big Door's fan. Some other's say Johnny Cash. Probably somewhere in between there I guess. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	even better I like the remix. Sounds a lot better than I remember the original sounding. This is such a fun love song with charm and humor. I'd rather hear it end proper on a last slow E chord strum than the fade but that's just a minor nit. I like this tune a lot. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

even better
Thanks Peter! The song is too short for a fade and I think that was more an
accident of recording than planning. However, haven't you ever heard a song
where you thought a fade ending was appropriate and worked? I can think of
some Allman Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, etc. where I thought that type
of ending really worked well and added to my enjoyment of the song.

	even better I totally agree; some songs really end nicely with a fade-out. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	Nice progression and feel Great tune. I"m sorry I missed it before. The guitar is great and your voice is right on. Check out my latest song called Pigs Fly

	Nice progression and feel Thanks John! I have a song in mind for us to collaborate on. I just need to find the time to get a good recording to send you. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Haven't heard this one before ... Lovely laid-back jangly guitar with some nice flourishes, and of course your warm and heartfelt vocal style. I think I agree with Peter that a final chord rather than the fadeout might give it a sweeter ending, but it's a very nice song! Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

	Haven't heard this one before ... Appreciate the visit to the bronco musical homestead Rebsie! Sit down, take your shoes off while you listen to the music. In a few minutes we will be having tea but it will be Luzianne iced tea with a splash of lime juice. Would you like one or two sugars with that? Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Excellent Guitar Playing Tom/Bronco Very nice piece, really enjoyed the guitar playing, Alvarez-Yari's have a magnificant sound especially when played but a great player. NIce laid back song, excellent production work there too! Check out my latest song called One Half Person

	So much talent I adore what you do with a guitar. This is such a lovely, old-fashioned (and I mean that in a complimentary way, as I adore old-fashioned) song. There's so much honesty in your voice. Wonderful song, Bronco. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Sit back on the porch swing . . . and drink some lemonade! This is sweet! Sounds like a song that could've been written it the 20s! I could definitely hear Bessie Smith singing this one. Or Billie Holiday. Or even Leon Redbone! Great playing! The lyrics don't try too hard, but they don't need to! Check out my latest song called Armor Pajamas
