Recently I was in a Traditional Country, whimsical kind of mood. I’ve always loved this genre and have great respect for Country Western artists like Jimmy Rogers, Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. The simplistic genius of their music captivated me from my early years and continues to this day. I would study their clever lyrics that always seemed to include an unexpected twist. “I Confess” made its way to my conscious mind when I was in such a mood. Although a good portion of the lyric is “tongue in cheek” I meant every word in the lines that say, “But I defy you to find someone who loves you as much as me.”
After writing the song I wanted to keep the recording bare bones. Going into the studio my thoughts were to make the acoustic guitar the main instrument, with embellishment by the piano. Drums and bass held down the bottom. It was a fun song to write and was equally fun to record.

I confess I’m guilty as sin
Left the toilet seat up when you fell in
Let the flies swarm in with the door ajar
Left my dirty underwear lying on the floor
I admit I got a few bad habits I could lose
But they’re part of the things that my kind do
I confess I’m not perfect
And I confess I can get a little onery
But I defy you to find someone
Who loves you as much as me
I confess when you ain’t a lookin’
I’ll drink straight from the old milk carton
Dry my hands on the kitchen curtain
Itchin’, scratchin’, fartin’, burpin’
I admit I got a few bad habits I could lose
But they’re part of the things that my kind do
I confess I’m not perfect
And I confess I can get a little onery
But I defy you to find someone
Who loves you as much as me
I’m the kind of man who likes excitin’, bull ridin’
Dust eatin’, bronc bustin’, boot scootin’, straight shootin’
What you see is what you get
I confess I’m not perfect
I confess I’m not perfect
And I confess I can get a little onery
But I defy you to find someone
Who loves you as much as me
Who loves you as much as me
