Dave Preston songs
I rushed the first recording a bit. This version a little closer to the way I play it live plus a little bass, tamborine and backup vocals. That's my daughter, Katie, singing the upper harmonies.
Thanks again to SISTER Anne for giving me the idea for this song.
Lyrics:
Wouldn't it be cool
If in my sleepy little town
A roadie for James Taylor
Stopped to look around
Wouldn't be cool
If it turned out that same day
That he walked into the coffee shop
And happened to hear me play
Wouldn't be cool
If his toes tapped to my beat
And after I was finished
He said, "There's someone you should meet"
Wouldn't it be cool
If half an hour away
James Taylor and his touring bus
Was stopping for the day
Wouldn't be cool
If we pulled up in my car
And his roadie popped the trunk lid
And pulled out my guitar
Wouldn't it be cool
If we all sat down to jam
And our harmonies fit perfectly
Like honey on a ham
And wouldn't it be cool
If James said, "Call me Jim"
And he asked if I'd be willing
To sing on stage with him
Harmonica Break
Wouldn't it be cool
If I called up work next day
And told them I was quitting
"Just send me my back pay"
Wouldn't it be cool
If in my sleepy little town
A roadie for James Taylor
Stopped to look around
Thanks again to SISTER Anne for giving me the idea for this song.
