No, not a Beatle tune this time out.
We're talkin' Roger Miller's "King of the Road"!
It's a great tune that needs Calvinistic overhauling!
If you are not familiar with this popular classic,
YouTube it and take a listen.
It's one of those tunes that just seems to stay with you.
Can't wait for the new improved version.
Humorous or serious, just get 'er done!
The winner will have his work of art posted
on May 14th, Lord willing.
King of the Megachurch

Sermon for sale or rent.
Talks to let 50 cents.
No sin, hell, don't repent.
I ain't got no gospel bent.
Ten minutes of bang and zoom
gets a free pass out of the room
I'm a man of conviction by no means,
king of my church.
Third story, with no gospel strain,
every one sounds the same.
hip and cool suit and shoes
will impress the world it's true.
I cuss oh how cool it sounds,
what a relavent guy you've found
I'm a man of conviction by no means,
king of my church.
I know every corny joke, that's come from a brain
all of crude ones, and all of their names,
and every gimmick, cause I've been around,
and every trick that get's em in,
I'll try to expound.
I sing,

ReplyDeleteWhat is youtube? Alright I will go try to find it. Miller? The only tune I can sing is "Ghost Riders in the Sky".
ReplyDeleteAaron,
ReplyDeleteEddie has never asked my opinon, and don't expect him to now, But if he does. I think your song is a winner. If you ever read a song I wrote you will know why Eddie don't ask me.
pastorharold-
ReplyDeleteWas the song on this blog? Otherwise, I don't know how I could read it.
And thank you for the compliment.
pastorharold, forgive me for not asking your opinion before...I would appreciate your opinion on each and every song posted...or on anything you want to comment on. Songs are judged by the two C's... cadence and content.

ReplyDeleteMy best writing days are over. My time has past. I made a few post here back when the blog had 10 or 15 follower. But now that # is in the 70s, and the talent level is just to high. I must move on to some new up-n-coming blog, where I can use my limited skills.
ReplyDeleteSadly, this is the same mind set of some church-goers I know! Always hopping around and never setteling down. Looking for greener grass and lower standards.
You ARE kidding, right? You don't have to "move on" to a new blog. Sure, join as many as you like...but, don't leave your friends here! The greener grass has been spray painted!
ReplyDelete...besides, only a very small percentage post comments!
ReplyDeleteAND EVEN A SMALLER PERCENTAGE ENTER THE CONTESTS!
Eddie- I don't think people comment because they can't think of anything to say the would do your wonderful work justice.
ReplyDeleteAaron, it's obvious that you have an award winning song. Please be patient brother...I have to wait until I return home to do your lyrics justice with a Photoshopped display of your creation! As you probably already know, I had to leave for Colorado suddenly. My daughter just gave us another grandbaby! King of the Megachurch will be posted the first morning I return.
ReplyDeleteLord willing.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely no problem Eddie and congratulations.
