So, a group of Facebook friends I have gets off on some strange tangents. I mentioned to them that I had, along with my brother, John, written a country song about love on the NASCAR scene. Since I wanted to share the lyrics with my friends, I'm posting them here for all to see. One of these days, I'll record my brother as he plays and sings it and post it on YouTube; I'm sure it'll go viral. Not.

Skid Marks on My Heart

You left skid marks on my heart
When you peeled out for another
Right after I told you
I was going to be a mother
You shifted gears so fast
You didn't even use the clutch
I never knew that the trophy dash
Of love could hurt so much

The green flag dropped and we were off
And things were mighty nice
But by the time we hit turn two
You had cheated twice
Things were fine in the back straight
I couldn't ask for more
Then you picked up the trophy queen
As you rounded out turn four

You left skid marks on my heart
When you peeled out for another
Right after I told you
I was going to be a mother
You shifted gears so fast
You didn't even use the clutch
I never knew that the trophy dash
Of love could hurt so much

And now you know why I'm not a Grammy winning lyricist.
