Story behind the song
I'm one of those types of people that can be very sociable at times (to a fault). Sometimes people don't always want to hear what you have to say. This song has a chord progression in the verse I'm really proud of (E, G#7, A, C [an interesting twist melodically and chordally], E F#7, B7, C7, B7) Also this version was cut live at the Free Times. The studio version will appear on the upcoming record "Catching Echoes Off The Walls".
Lyrics
Talking Turkey (Words and Music by Jeff Kahl) © 1998 Blue skies above me And I just want someone to love me, You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone Sitting on this corner only makes me want to warn her you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone. Chorus Talking to you, you don’t give me the time of day, I wish I knew all the words I wanted to say. 2nd Verse You want to argue but I just stand here looking lonely, You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone. There’s not much to do but to listen to you talking turkey, You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone. To Chorus Solo To Chorus Coda Blue skies above me and I just want someone to love me, You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone---
