Wrecking Ball

Liner Notes

My daughter went to summer art camp and came home with a piece she called "Tornado of Kindness".

I was also telling her about fawm 50/90 and how I was only at 15 songs and had many more songs to write before I could get to 50 and she told me I could use some of her songs, which is unusual cause normally she demands that I don't take songwriting credits on her pieces. What a character. Anyway, she's my wrecking ball.

Roughly 2.25 hours from concept to final demo.

Lyrics

c -g - f -g [c2]

she's a tornado of kindness
waking with the stars in her eyes

cereal for breakfast she's telling me
all about her dreams

rainbows and butterflies
like only kids can know

am
but when the world is cruel
d7
and i can't go on
f -c
i take one look into her big blue eyes
g - c -am -f
then we're heading out the door to find some happy times
c - g - c
yeah she's my wrecking ball

four foot tall and full of grace
silly as the day is long

she's telling me a joke about a bannanna
that couldn't find it's skirt

when the shadows grow long
and the day is done
reading her a nighttime story again

she's gonna tear down
to the ground
telling me night
with a hug and kiss
melting my heart all over again
cause she's my wrecking ball

i'm playing guitar she's singing along
both of us outta tune

with a smile on her face
she wants to know which of us is worse

and as the laughter fades
she she has to say, you know where going be big stars

she's my wrecking ball
she's gonna tear down
every time she's coming around
turning my frown upside down
cause she's my wrecking ball

f - g - c
she's my wrecking ball
