Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Got a dam half finished Teeth all dull and tired River runnin’ faster Than this worn-out heart of mine Chewed through plans and branches Still the water pulls me back To this crooked little shoreline Where my worries stack [Chorus] I got them beaver blues Babe Tail slap on that muddy ground Building up a life that Keeps on getting washed back down I stack my hopes like sticks Watch ‘em drift away in twos Gnawin’ on the daylight With these beaver blues (oh yeah) [Verse 2] All my cousins upstream braggin’ ‘Bout their perfect wooden walls I just sit here soakin’ In these slow and shallow falls Tried to map the current But it laughed and changed its mind Left me chasing drifting dreams I can’t quite trap in time [Chorus] I got them beaver blues Babe Tail slap on that muddy ground Building up a life that Keeps on getting washed back down I stack my hopes like sticks Watch ‘em drift away in twos Gnawin’ on the daylight With these beaver blues (mm-hmm) [Bridge] Maybe next log holds steady Maybe this flood turns kind Maybe I learn to love What keeps undoing all my designs Till then I chew through midnight Under that cracked old moon Singing soft and stubborn This beaver-blue tune (hey) [Chorus] I got them beaver blues Babe Tail slap on that muddy ground Building up a life that Keeps on getting washed back down I stack my hopes like sticks Watch ‘em drift away in twos Laughin’ through the heartache With these beaver blues

Laid-back acoustic blues trio: gritty male vocals, brushed snare shuffle, upright bass walking lazily, and a lazy 12-bar guitar groove. Start close and intimate, then open the chorus with doubled vocals and slide guitar fills, ending on a loose, laughing tag and a ring-out chord., blues
