bob pendarvis: songs

this song was originally written as part of a ten-song music cd celebrating the 25th anniversary of the savannah college of art and design. i was particularly happy with how this song turned out. the lyrics were so simple to write (and full of appropriate "attitude") and the sound i got on my guitar just hits me exactly right. i love making much more complicated tracks, but sometimes it's the simplest songs that are the most effective...and it doesn't get much simpler than this.

gonna make my mark
down at forsyth park
gonna buy some chalk
and draw on the sidewalk

i've already got
a drawing in mind
and a better one
would be hard to find

it's not too simple
but it's not too hard
i've already practiced
in my own backyard

nobody else
will believe their eyes
they'll stare at me
as i take first prize

they might just as well
not bother to come
of course, second place
is plenty for some

gonna make my mark
down at forsyth park
gonna buy some chalk
and draw on the sidewalk
