Ever heard someone say after speaking a long time, 'Well, to make a long story short..'
I've always thought..'It's too late now!' A buddy of mine had the same idea and we challeged the other to write a song with the title. Here it is.
Mandolin, guitar and saxophone player. Recreational song writing and desktop recording is my fun.
Story behind the song
Ever heard someone say after speaking a long time, "Well, to make a long story short.."

Lyrics
I was eatin a burger at DQ
When my old friend George walked in
He sat down and ordered a cold RC
Opened up and the story begln
He said his daughter ran away with the mailman
And his dog had a case of the mange
Said his new job wasn't workin out
The neighbor's cat was drivin' him insane
Pre-chorus
I said wait a minute buddy you know that I feel your pain
But please take a breath 'cause there's something I gotta say:
Chorus
If you planned to make a long story short, well it's too late
You've already put too much information on my plate
I don't mean to cut you off or to be a bad sport
But it's too late--- to make a long story short
Well at supper time I drove to my house
Kissed the dog and walked my wife
Told me bout her day and asked about mine
I told her bout my friend and his life
I told about the problems he'd been dealin' in
How his patience was a-wearin' thin
His life's a mess by George, without doubt
I didn't leave a single comma out
She said wait a minute honey you know that I feel his pain
But please take a breath 'cause there's something I gotta say:
Chorus
If you planned to make a long story short, well it's too late
You've already put too much information on my plate
I don't mean to cut you off or to be a bad sport
But it's too late--- to make a long story short
