Liner Notes

Well, wineberry season just ended at my home yesterday...apparently I had thoughts on that...

Also, I bought a capo when I bought an acoustic guitar, well, because that's what "folkies" are supposed to do (I thought) but, turns out, I'm more of a barre chord guy, and the capo was put on a shelf, and never used.
I figured what better time than 50/90 to write a song using that dusty #capo

And then I remembered seeing the "Get Lost" challenge, and it all came
together. A quick #acousticonetake before heading out on a rare low humidity day! (and, no, I apparently hadn't planned how to end it...)

Lyrics

Getting Lost In The Berry Patch
Wineberries...wineberries, don'tcha know you're me favorite berry?
Even better than cherries...but not bacon.
Wineberries...wineberries, don'tcha know you're me favorite berry?
And you're sitting right there, for the taking
Wineberries...wineberries, don'tcha know you're me favorite berry?
People try to tell me you're invasive
Wineberries...wineberries, I don't care, you're me favorite berry?
Doing my part, eating your best form of procreation.

Getting lost in the berry patch, getting lost in the berry patch
Going to pick them til my fingers turn red
Getting lost in the berry patch, getting lost in the berry patch
Does wonders for my existential dread.

Because, when I turn on the news, it truly breaks my heart.
to see how people treat each other, both near, and far.
But when I grab my bucket, and head out the door,
with my mind focused solely on picking some more...
Well, it may not be an end, but it's a start...
I know I can't make it all go away, but it gives my brain just a little break
And those itty, bitty, sticky berries, Lord, they're oh so tart.

Getting lost in the berry patch, getting lost in the berry patch
Going to pick them til my fingers turn red
Getting lost in the berry patch, getting lost in the berry patch
Does wonders for my existential dread.

Wineberries...wineberries, don'tcha know you're me favorite berry?
Even better than cherries...but not bacon.
Wineberries...wineberries, don'tcha know you're me favorite berry?
And you're sitting right there, for the taking

Getting lost in the berry patch, getting lost in the berry patch
Going to pick them til my fingers turn red
Getting lost in the berry patch, getting lost in the berry patch
Does wonders for my existential dread.
