"You Want Thing's That I Ain't Got"

I give you diamond rings
and then I feel like
I've committed a sin
I keep giving you things
that I ain't got
I gave up my
Cuban Cigars
so you can drive around
in a fancy car
I keep giving you things
I have not

You want to be
a movie star
I drink from happy hour
until its last call
I give you things
but I need to stop
I cant afford to go to the beach
I cool off with
a water hose
you want things
that I just ain't got

you only know me
on payday
where the hell
is my runaway
train
I keep giving you things
I ain't got

Thank God for
rainy days
the phone's off the hook
But I'm not away
you want things
that I ain't got

I say things that
you want to hear
baby pass me a cold beer
I keep giving you things
that I just ain't got

I gave up my
Cuban Cigars
so you can drive around
in a fancy car
I keep giving you things
and I have not

I cant afford
to go to the beach
I cool off with a
water hose
you always want things
that I ain't got

Nice 60's feel, could see some girl backing singer supporting your vox.
The vox cut through well, the drums are a bit buried, it sounds as though it's mono?
 

I agree about the Female singing suggestion. I have no idea why it would sound mono. I recorded it in stereo. I'll have to check on it. Thanks for the comment and for listening to the song, Denis...Cheers

I like the simplicity of the song.  As Dennis said, and you already agreed about, the female backing vox would be very nice.

The main problem here is the bitrate and mix.  How was this recorded?

Nice lyrics. Could use some more layers and more background vocals. Reminds me of something I'd hear on open mic night at our local pizza place (thats a good thing)

Yes, more work is needed...it seems never ending..lol...I have done this at a few open mics....lotsa fun...thanks for the comments
