about

Written and recorded in, I think, May, 2020, back when friends who played a lot of shows--and friends who frequently went to those shows--were trying to get used to NO SHOWS.

Surprisingly... still somewhat relevant, so I decided to go ahead and release it. Plus this was my first song where I played the pedal steel guitar, and that turned out surprisingly good.

lyrics

A
I’m sick of being home alone just playing with myself

I’m feeling like that lonely little elf up on a shelf
D
I’m anxiously awaiting vaccination breakthrough news
A
I've... come down with a condition that's shared by quite a few
E
The dust is piling up on my blue suede dancing shoes
A
and the doctor diagnosed me with pandemic homesick blues

A
I can’t go out on a date, I can’t go to a bar
All that I can safely do is drive out in my car
D
But I can’t afford the gas or a hospital co-pay
A
I’m trying not to spread a virus I hope goes away
E
The dust is piling up on my blue suede dancing shoes
A
and the doctor diagnosed me with pandemic homesick blues


BRIDGE:
D A
I cannot hide--I’m dying inside
D E (E - Eb - D)
I’m sick of home--babe I want to Roam
D F#min
I do not know if I can pull a comb
D
thru my hair
B E
The only rocking I've doing is at home in the seat of this rocking chair

SOLO OVER VERSE

BRIDGE

Outro (3x):
E
The dust is piling up on my blue suede dancing shoes
A
and the doctor diagnosed me with pandemic homesick blues.
