Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!
Here’s a line to get you started. Feel free to use it to start off YOUR song, then go back and change the original line up a little bit. After all, other people will be using this one, too!
“If I’d ‘a known you’d be here, I’d ‘a brought something stronger than beer…”
I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!
Wordplay Thursday is a fun way to generate new song ideas- and who doesn’t need more song ideas? If you’d like MORE “creative kickstarters,” join the Frettie.com community today!

If I’d a known you’d be here, I’d a brought something stronger than a beer
Like straight up whiskey with a splash of tear
If I’d ‘a known you’d be here, I’d ‘a brought a stronger drink than beer.
One thing’s clear when I see you anywhere.
Doesn’t take too long to get those feelings there.
Just need something stronger to stop me sittin’ Longer and let you know you’re the one I like, so tonight.
Chorus
Don’t want to think ’bout drinking beer.
Don’t want to think ’bout thinkin’ clear.
I see you standing there with all that ‘n showing what you got.
Think I need a whiskey or two to get me back on top.
Don’t want to think ’bout drinking beer.
Don’t want to think ’bout thinkin’ clear.
Just need one more shot then I’ll show you what I got.
Don’t want think ’bout drinkin’ this beer I brought.
V2
Tired of waiting on you to realize.
I’m the man you want if you’d just look in my eyes.
While we’re at this party tonight gonna raid that bar.
Get me something more hearty, that that drink made from wheat and barley.
Just one more shot and I’m gonna start that talk. So tonight…
Bridge
Just need a shot of whiskey to make that walk. And another shot of whiskey to start that talk. A third shot of whiskey might be too much but this beer I brought. Well it sure ain’t enough.
Rock on! That’s what I’m talking about!
Thnx and thnx for letting us writers roll out some stuff in these challenges.
If I’d’a known you’d be here, I’d’a brought something stronger than beer
If I’d’a known you’d be here, I’d’a brought you a sting, Songbird;
then cheer!
Darlin’ ….
If I’d’a seen you right here, I’d’a a bought you a ring five prong,
jewel, Dear!
CHORUS
Cuz, honey
You more than a diamond
You soar like an emerald
You pull me in demand
Aww, sugah’…
You spirit more than a sparkling brew!
If I’d’a known you’d be here, I’d’a brought something stronger
than a beer
If I’d’a known you’d be here, I’d’a bear a plot to write a song
on a bier!
Honey….
If I’d’a known you right here, I’d above a pray’r, clear our wrong;
swan my dear!
CHORUS
Error…
*STING
means
STRING (as in guitar)
If I’d known you’d be here, it would take more than beer
The memories of us are still painful and clear
Now an old familiar pain in my gut has reappeared
Have a nice life– I’m out of here
Love itt!
A Good Drunk
V1.
Lettin’ you in,
I knew we’d better buckle up for the ride.
We’d been just friends,
Rollin’ dirty, illegal buds and a lotta’ Lite.
Ah, it was haulin’, tires squallin’, a passion pedal to the floor.
Our race up to the levy, just to hang and drink, nothin’ more.
V2.
Too much again.
I knew we’d not speak on it that night.
Then the sunlight shown in,
through your sleepy golden buzzed hair. Whata’ sight.
Oh, it was fast n’ fun, shotgun n’ run, a night you drove me wild for sure.
Our need for speed and sweet relief, takin’ turns we’d never taken before.
Chorus.
If I’d ‘a known you’d be here, I’d ‘a brought something stronger than beer…
Through all your red lights and green lights,
I’m caught in a caution right here.
Spinnin’ my wheels with no emotional navigation skills,
I’m wreck waitin’ to happen,
already dead’s how I feel.
If I’d ‘a known this beer’d have to just sit while I steer,
I’d ‘a been a good drunk,
and stayed home in the clear.
V3.
Seein’ you with him,
I knew somethin’ wasn’t quite right.
Left a rumblin’ engine,
when your daddy said you’d headed out ’bout 5.
Woah, it’s a screechin’ halt, burnin’ tires off, road rage lookin’ to fight.
Our timing’s blown. I’d barely got ya’ home. Who’s that ya’ ridin’ home with tonight?
Chorus.
If I’d ‘a known you’d be here, I’d ‘a brought something stronger than beer…
Through all your red lights and green lights,
I’m caught in a caution right here.
Spinnin’ my wheels with no emotional navigation skills,
I’m wreck waitin’ to happen,
already dead’s how I feel.
If I’d ‘a known this beer’d have to just sit while I steer,
If I’d ‘a known this beer’d have to be chased with Jack, my Dear,
If I’d ‘a known this beer’d have driven me to here,
I’d ‘a been a good drunk,
and stayed home,………………….outta’ fear.
Awesome!
Hahaha! Oh, NOT EVEN man. Much appreciated though. I guess that’s the outcome when learning online from the BEST, huh?!! ??Thanks for the challenge O-Double B-One. I like the way ‘Whatever That Was’ turns out MUCH better! ?????????????? Everybody should check those writers and James Dupre out. ‘Someday Today’ they’re all gonna’ be REALLY good! -LOL
Thanks, man! Glad you dig our work!
