I'm goin crazy /Louisiana/bar/mysterious happenings

Just a story. I am not well, reflected by my shakey vocal. From 2:02 where the lyrics say I confess I been watchin on you, must be a rattled female voice spoken.
Hope I put you in this bar with your imagination. peace and wellness to all

Crazy Dm …C G Dm

She comes alone somewhere bout midnight doesn’t talk to no one
Slams down her whiskey…tips the barkeep.and whispers to him I gotta go
Why’s she commin here every night
where could she goin and what’s she runnin from
So beautiful mysterious She’s got my full attention I really wanna know BbC…Dm

Why’d ya turn yur head…all I said was Hi C G
I thought we could talk for maybe just a little while F G
pI know I’m not pretty, but I’m kinda nice C G
You can just say it if ya got some other guy F G Dm

Cra…zy I’m going crazy why won’t this perfect stranger even look my way…ay
Cra…zy I”m going crazy….I want to know her story F C Gm C……Dm
What kinda things is she gonna say……ta me

Another night …she’s watchin the TV…slamin more drinks sittin next to me
Slowly got myself up…circled round her chair…got in her face…she can’t get free
Staring in those cold dark eyes…they were focused like lasers into mine

(gal) I confess I’ve been watchin on you…ya shorely did take yur sweet time
My time is short, but I wish I could know you Dm F G Bb Dm A7 Dm
But I have to leave and face the things I have done
I’m so tired of running and hiding…but you right now I can’t do
Before I go I want you to know…I have never hurt anyone

Cra…zy I’zz going crazy…cuz this beautiful stranger wouldn’t talk to me
Cra…zy I’zz nearly crazy…I could never be her lover cuz she first…
has to set her mind free……come back please (outro)

Quite a story Paul! I guess this song is a ballad. You managed to pack a lot of imagery into 3 minutes! Improvised studio setup? (or back in your regular one?)
The tremolo guitars and slow strums make for a great effect, especially as the ‘intro’ brings us into the song. Your voice does seem a bit ‘edgy’, but it fits the expression of this song very well. I like the different voices too, the ‘spoken word’ at 2:10 is very cool.

Hey stan I had to physically match the tempo of the song on the downbeat strum. Many takes.
My winter Studio is vey minimal. Using a sm58 mic I 've had for all my life. Forgot the condenser 414. B’etween a sick wife and my daughter’s projects, minimal studio time. I will be in Texas until late April. take care bud
