08 I hate to just miss things
The apparently obligatory C&W number - but the lyrics arrived in Wyoming so fair enough - and it is true, I do hate to just misss things... The pedal steel is actually one sampled note that's been squashed, streched, bent and generally manipulated within Soundforge... perhaps it would have been simple to buy a steel guitar, but it keeps me off the streets.

You know I hate to just miss things I’d rather miss by a mile
If you’d have said I had no chance then I could just smile
You know I hate to just miss things it may seem funny my friend
Then I take my eye of the ball and hey damn! I just missed it again
(D A G) D A G A
You know I hate so see a train just pulling out the station
If I’d’ve jumped that ride it would have filled me with elation
I hate to see that last pin teetering on the gulley
If I’d have left a split you know I wouldn’t give a worry
We came close – you know we got it started
And then you walked away and left me broken hearted
We really had it going – if only for a minute
But now I wish I’d never thought we might begin it
