I write the lyrics, compose the melody, play the guitar, and record my own vocal demo until I'm happy with the result. I then use Suno and my custom voice persona as a virtual studio band and vocal production tool to produce my songs the way I want them. #classiccountrymusic #realcountrymusic #countrymusic #traditionalcountrymusic #classicfemalecountry [Verse 1] Near the Mexican border In a café full of dust You came in and said hello And asked me for the menu [Verse 2] I served you your breakfast You looked at me Then you asked me why Why I'm living here [Chorus] I said it's hard to explain I was only drifting around Till my journey brought me here When I was broke I take one day at a time Till I figure myself out I gotta do things the way I want [Verse 3] You said I could join you All the way to Fort Worth You said it's easier there To find a better job [Bridge] I said thank you, but no It's not that I have to stay I've spent too long drifting around And I don't know where I'm going yet [Chorus] I said it's hard to explain I was only drifting around Till my journey brought me here When I was broke I take one day at a time Till I figure myself out I gotta do things the way I want Yes, I gotta do things the way I want
