work tape song
Well, I say this story on the news the other day. A woman who was caught stealing money from a local high profile, non-profit organization. She was charged and the news got out. She looked distraught and was crying with her mascara running down her face. Not Tammy Faye Baker running, but running. And I thought of the title and worked around.
i'm not sure this is blues, maybe more folk/blues or Texas Blues, probably more.
There's a little break in the middle between 2nd and 3rd verses, a place holder for a lead or maybe bridge.
simple lyrics and progression. I'm always admiring the songwriters here at their craft. Very inspiring to me.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Bridge needed? solo?

Yeah, look at you you're the talk of the town
With your big-shot friends you've been hangin' around
But your luck has changed from what I hear
Now you're cryin' your eyes and your Maybelline Tears
Maybelline tears, Maybelline tears
Yeah, you're cryin' your eyes and your Maybelline Tears
You thought you had it all in the bank
You had your credit cards and yourself to thank
But now the tables turned, my dear
Now you're cryin' your eyes and your Maybelline Tears
Maybelline tears, Maybelline tears
Yeah, you're cryin' your eyes and your Maybelline Tears
Life gives you the test then you learn
Some do it well and some get burned
I hope for you it all comes clear
and stop your cryin' your Maybelline tears
Maybelline tears, Maybelline tears
Yeah, you're cryin' your eyes and your Maybelline Tears
Maybelline tears, Maybelline tears
Yeah, you're cryin' your eyes and your Maybelline Tears

Actually, I think this one’s pretty solid, though I’m not sure where on radio airplay this one fits in—anyway, I liked it!!!
