about

What is your song idea? *
I love Sheila Jo!!! but her friends call her JoShe, oh and we call her White Trash too! Her 38th birthday month is coming up. Yes that's right, we get to celebrate it all month, and this song will be one of her best gifts ever! She has green eyes, short, tiny and sexy, loves red dirt country music, and drinking BudLight... only BudLight... yeah, I know. She is from a very small town in Love county, or as she puts it "The LVC". I will need a sweet, smart, and sassy birthday / love song that can keep pace with this little Spit Fire, so beautiful as to make her cry, but then laugh the very next breath. When she hears this song, she will forget for just a moment how stressful her life is, and know how much her friends truly love and appreciate her, because she has a heart big enough for the whole world, she has tried to cram everyone in the whole world into it at least! She is a daddy's girl who lost her father to Cancer (which destroyed her), and she dedicates every day of her work at our Cancer treatment center to his memory. Hated to end that on a sad note but there it is. More gushing on request.

lyrics

(recorded with a capo on the first fret)

verse:
[G] you'll never find two eyes as green [C]
[G] and you ain't ever seen [Em]
[G] roads as red as the red [C] dirt roads she knows [D]
[G] and there never was a woman so small [C]
[G] with a heart that could hold us all [Em]
[G] as the birthday girl, the lovely [C] Sheila Joe [D]

chorus:
[C] an oklahoma girl [G]
[D] with a heart big as the world [Em]
[C] and smile warm as the red [G] dirt roads she knows [D]
[C] she's having fun tonight [G]
[D] somebody buy her a fresh bud-light [G]
[C] just say happy [G] birthday sheila joe [D]

verse:
and she has so many friends
that if they laid out end-to-end
there's no telling how far they'd go
everybody in the whole county
all the Okies in the LVCs
wish a happy birthday Sheila Jo

chorusx2:
an oklahoma girl
with a heart big as the world
and smile warm as the red dirt roads she knows
we'll have some fun tonight
somebody buy her a fresh bud-light
just say happy birthday sheila joe

outro to chorus melody:
she's her daddy's girl
and she moves through the world
as if inspired by the softest fire you could ever know
and we're having fun tonight
so somebody buy her a fresh bud-light
just say happy birthday sheila joe
