Coming to the Party
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"...is a song that I wrote for Jimmy Newman...(He never did get around
to recording it.) I get a chance to play the harmonica on this one."
Well, I'm coming to the party tonight
I've been wrong so long I get right
I'm gonna let my hair down and don't you think I might
'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight.
Coming to the party tonight
And I'll find someone new to hold me tight
She thinks I'm home crying won't she be surprised
'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, I'm coming to the party tonight
New arms a new love a new life
So don't you shake my tree if you don't like your peaches ripe
'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight.
Coming to the party tonight
And I'll find someone new to hold me tight
She thinks I'm home crying won't she be surprised
'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight...
