I had a lot of technical issues at first, then when I was all set to remix it properly, I fell ill with a nasty virus of some sort. Hopefully You guys like it.</p><p><br></p><p>It has been a long and wild ride being part of this contest and everyone who participated and followed along with the happenings of this contest know that it was a lot of hard work, but also a lot of learning, camaraderie, understanding, choosing wisely, knowing our strengths and our weaknesses, not being ashamed to get constructive criticism and praise, most of the time, both. being grateful but humble and never losing sight of the prize (whatever that means to you). It was an emotionally draining experience - GOOD Emotional, but DRAINING none the less.💕</p><p><br></p><p>Because of the overall heaviness, the level of transparency &amp; vulnerability and the honesty us Snappers presented in this contest, I chose to write and sing a song that was light and upbeat. When I heard this track from the SingSnap Band It was like a lightbulb went off in my mind. This made me think of music I would listen to as a teenager/young adult, growing up in Vermont. Those days when nothing really mattered, but everything meant something. The sound of this track brought me back to a place and time. Behold: Pay The Man (VT Song).</p><p><br></p><p>I hope this leaves you with a joyful heart and a chorus you can't get out of your head. PEACE!😘✌️</p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Pay The Man (VT Song)</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">By: Stephanie C.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Verse 1:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Woke up this mornin, my head’s a mess</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Not knowing where I am, tryin to get dressed</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Where’s my car, and your poker set</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Check your back pocket, did you place that bet?</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh NO!&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, oh woah oh</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, woah oh</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, yeah!</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Chorus:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Gettin high and gettin by</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Workin hard at hardly workin</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Drinkin beers all night</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> These old dirt roads&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> The story of my life</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Let’s grab our friends</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> And we can drive all night</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Verse 2:&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> On the way to work, I’m kinda stressed</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Gotta pay the man, in business/casual dress</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Now the work day’s done and it’s ten past five</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Let’s call our friends and keep the streak alive</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, oh woah oh</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, woah oh!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, oh woah oh, yeah!</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Chorus:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Gettin high and gettin by</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Workin hard at hardly workin</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Drinkin beers all night</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> These old dirt roads&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> The story of my life</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Let’s grab our friends</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> And we can drive all night (X2)</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;Outro:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, oh woah oh</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, woah oh!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Oh woah oh, oh woah oh, yeah!
