March 99 Winning Other Lyrics and Review

I couldn't get to sleep last night 
Lord I couldn't catch my rest 
I was thinking 'bout my mail order bride 
And wearing my Sunday Best 

My true love arrives on the 9:35 
She's finally coming to the west 
I'll be waiting at the station site 
Wearing my Sunday Best 

We've wrote letters now for two long years 
Face to face we've never met 
I wrote I'll be waiting with chocolates and flowers 
Wearing my Sunday Best 

I hope she likes my spit shined shoes 
My hair slicked to the left 
I hope she can love a simple country boy 
Wearing his Sunday Best 

The train is heading down the track 
Can you hear that whistle moan 
My heart is pounding in my chest as I sit 
Wearing my Sunday Best 

She gets off the train to the preacher we go 
She puts on her wedding dress 
She says she loves a simple country boy 
Wearing his Sunday Best 
She says she'll always love a simple country boy 
Wearing his Sunday Best

These are very well written lyrics. They tell a story in an easy comfortable manner. The rhyming is very subtle and effective, not forced at all. The hook "Wearing my Sunday Best" will allow for an easy musical emphasis. Again, in appearance, this is a simple song. It seems that way because it is so well written. Some of the best lyrics are those that sound as though you are just recounting the events. I hear this as a sort of countryish folk song. A nice melodic guitar with simple percussion would sound good here. I think a soft banjo drifting in and out could add a nice effect. All in all this has the makings of a very pleasant song.

Nice one, Gary, how about sending us some more?
