    Story Behind the Song
    Had the chord progression for awhile, but wen through a few iterations of lyrics and song styles before I finally got it right! Last move was to replace a vocal solo part in the bridge with a much cooler B3 solo.

    The lyrics describe a girl I know who has tomboy tendancies which are actually a thin veil for her true feminine nature. She sends "messages" about her true self in her everyday behavior. I had an idea to make a little word play on "message" so the second verse describes an actual phone message she leaves on my answering machine. This literary device serves to make me feel justified as an artist.

    Lyrics
    Drinks a beer likes to swear
    baseball cap that hides all her hair
    perfume in it
    but she won't admit it

    No matter what she tries to do
    little bit of girl will sneak through
    all the better - too much would upset her

    she plays with the boys
    knows all of their ploys
    a bad night for all the egos she destroys

    Get back home half past three
    waiting there's a message to me
    "Had a great day you up for a replay?"
    Listen once listen twice
    three or four more times will suffice
    I'm adoring a faceless recording

    Though her voice is rough
    it's just sweet enough
    the words that I'm hearing
    don't sound very tough

    Her message to me
    take your time and you'll see
    what's behind the veneer of masculinity
