Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up mean and moody Coffee burned my tongue Tripped over my own blue jeans Day had just begun Pulled back them dusty curtains Sun hit my tired eyes Out there in the backyard tree Somethin’ made me cry [Chorus] It was a slow crying sloth, hangin’ there swayin’ Tear on his nose like the world done failed him So dramatic, so tragic, movin’ inch by inch I started laughin’ so hard that my side got pinched Yeah that slow crying sloth looked so heartbreak tough I fell out of bed when the feelings got rough (oh man) Guess sometimes life’s so awkward and odd You just gotta laugh with a slow crying sloth [Verse 2] He blinked like he was sayin’ “Buddy, you ain’t alone” Took a minute just to sniffle On that crooked branch he owned I was stuck there in my boxers Tryin’ to catch my breath Floor was cold, my ribs were sore From gigglin’ half to death [Chorus] At that slow crying sloth, hangin’ there swayin’ Tear on his nose like the world done failed him So dramatic, so tragic, movin’ inch by inch I started laughin’ so hard that my side got pinched Yeah that slow crying sloth looked so heartbreak tough I fell out of bed when the feelings got rough (hey!) Guess sometimes life’s so awkward and odd You just gotta laugh with a slow crying sloth

country, Playful acoustic country with male vocals; bright strummed guitar and a lazy walking bass, brushes on snare and a little train shuffle. Verses keep it stripped back and story-driven, chorus adds stacked harmonies and a cheeky fiddle lick answering the vocal. Energy starts laid-back and keeps a front-porch vibe, with a small lift into each hook., slow
