Liner Notes

#country rock #biab
Full disclosure, even though I also mention in my bio that I use Band In A Box, since there seems to be a sudden proliferation of AI being used this year and sadly, often NOT being disclosed by some folks. (BIAB is not at all a form of generative AI). These lyrics are written by two talented humans. The melody, song structure, the vocals, the arrangement and production are all my doing along with one of the guitar tracks. All the other instrumentation on this one comes from selected chunks of real recordings actually performed by BIAB session musicians for that platform.

She Took Me For Granite
Lyrics - Graham/Daniel
Music - Jeff Walker

After giving her almost everything
Expensive clothes and diamond rings
To her I guess I seemed like Superman
I believed all of the time
That she was gonna be all mine
I guess maybe she didn't understand

She thought I'd be able to share her
That's where she made her first error

chorus:
She took me for granite
Made of the strongest stuff
I loved the girl, but damn it
I wasn't quite that tough
She needed more than me
And thought I'd agree
To give her what she wants
But I just couldn't stand it
She took me for granite

verse:
Guess she expected me to be her rock
A man whose love would never stop
But lately I've felt like some stepping stone
Now my heart's gone hard
My love, it's in shards
And she still thinks I'll never go

repeat chorus:

bridge:
I was still part of her fantasy
But now she'll have to face reality

repeat chorus:
