Steemit Open Mic Week 70 - Rowboat (Johnny Cash, Beck cover)

Cover of a song I originally heard performed by Beck and only years later did I discover it was originally written by Beck.

My first song in the Steemit Open Mic series. I'm excited to join in with this community. Thanks to all that have created this!

I'm actually recovering from being a little sick so I don't feel like my is as strong as it usually is, but I have been so stir crazy to play some music and connect with others here that I thought... "what the heck"

Rowboat
written by Johnny Cash

Rowboat, row me to the shore.
She don't wanna be my friend no more.
She dug a hole in the bottom of my soul.
She don't wanna be my friend no more.

Pick me up, gimme some food to eat,
In your truck goin' no place.
I'll be home talkin' to nobody.
You'll be strange, you'll be far away.

Big fat moon.
And my body's out of tune.
With the burnin' waves,
She's a billion years away.

Dog food on the floor,
And I've been like this before.
She is all,
And everything else is small.

Pick me up, gimme some alcohol,
In your truck playin' the radio.
I'll be home with the gasoline.
You'll be stoned, you'll be far away.
