I wrote this several years back, when I was alone, lonely and in "One of those moods."

*THE DANIELS BOYS,* (Partying with Charlie & Jack) Intended as a country song I’m heading down Old Dixie, the beach in my rear view mirror, all that crap she was spouting couldn’t have made it any clearer. Our love is ancient history and I’ve earned my PHD and though I’m not yet over her, I’m expecting soon to be. I’m heading for a “Honky Tonk” and I won’t be going back. I’ll be hanging with the Daniels boys my buddies, Charlie and Jack. Chorus I’ll crank up the juke box while Charlie plays his fiddle, throw back a couple Mind Erasers with a Black Jack in the middle. The world’s a better place Since I’ve developed the knack of partying with the Daniels boys, my buddies,,,,, Charlie and Jack. I can’t believe she’d drop me for such a sleazy guy, Now, as Charlie sang in his song, I’m drinking my baby goodbye. He must be hung like a horse, or have pockets full of cash, but he’ll soon be finding out she’s an expensive piece of trash. As for me, I’ll be at the Boardwalk and I won’t be coming back, I’ll party hearty with the Daniels boys, my buddies, Charlie and Jack. Chorus I’ll crank up the juke box while Charlie plays his fiddle, throw back a couple mind erasers with a Black Jack in the middle. The world’s a better place Since I’ve developed the knack of partying with the Daniels boys, my buddies,,,,, Charlie and Jack. I’m drinking my baby goodbye. Partying with Charlie and Jack.

I agree that this could be a big hit ...... maybe you could call information and get the number of Kenny Chesney? :)

You have a hit there, Richard. Damn good writing. Hey! You! Sweetie behind the bar? Bring me another Coors and give Richard and his friends what they want.

Mr. King, I think you should put some music to those words...you just might have a hit on your hands.

Cheers,
