Hey Folks!! This is my first ever entry in the Steemit Open Mic contest! I do hope everyone enjoys it.
I wrote this song for a girl back in Texas who stopped waiting for me a long time ago. I call it Thinkin' of You.
Lyrics:
Day breaks on the treetops
Tomorrow's just begun
Mamma said every new day
Brings something good to come
But I've been waiting all night
For these teardrops to dry
And you still aint come home
You still aint come home
You still aint come home
still aint come...
Sun sets on my garden
Darkens yesterday
My phone aint rang one time
Since you went away
No, you're gone
And I can't stop thinking of you
And the thought of sleep is just an empty sigh
My weary days turning into nights
And all I want is to hear your laughter one more time
I should move on but baby I just can't stop crying
Where you gone? Oh and with who?
Lord I've spent so long, yes so long, thinking of you
Thinking of you
Thinking of you...
I want to send a special thank you to @luisferchav for motivating me to enter the Open Mic. Peace y'all.
Absolutely amazing. Your voice is so unique and classic, so glad to have you on the platform and good luck this week!

Wow.. what a performance. Damn. And if you may recall, although probably you might not, in your first post I commented that we should be friends. "We gotta be friends," I said. And I say it again now.
Are you on discord yet?
Good luck in te open mic! Amazing first entry. Amazing even if it was your thousandth entry.
Cheers!
