I could have been a cop
I could have been on TV
I could have been a fireman
or maybe joined the Marines.
I could have bought a gun
and joined the NRA
and told all the children,
go have a nice day.
None of these damn things
are anything I'd miss
but there is one girl
I really wish I'd kissed
It's all about a love
a love that didn't grow
and that's the worst kind
as then you never know.
I could have written books
or been some kind of stuntman
I could have raced my bike
but I'd just crash it again.
I could have been a preacher
I knew all the lines
but I wanted it real,
and said some other time.

The tune runs at 140 bpm so count on it that this is not some smooshy love song. It's about how you only get one shot at some things so get it right the first time as it won't come around again. Kick out de jams!
The chords came first but they aren't solid as that got me going on what I wanted to write. I'll put chords together again when I record. The beats on the looper aren't exactly Ginger Baker and there's no good answer for that as it's quite difficult to replace them and impossible (I think) to modify them. I could get hot beats with the computer but I'm sick of computers on stage. We'll see. (It's easy to run external audio into the looper as you can even use an iPhone or an iPad with a mini-plug to use one of the alternative inputs on the Boss RC-50. However, there's some mixing punishment for doing that but that's too geeky to warrant description here.)
I cranked the guitar gain and levels, ignoring the clipping light on the looper, but that didn't show clipping at the record point. I'll have to take a look at a waveform to see if that's true, tho. If it is true and I don't get too slashed at the dentist tomorrow, I'll probably get it down sometime tomorrow afternoon / evening.
Standard disclaimer on preachers: I have no case on faith but I have a major case on making money on it. The NRA gets slashed because it needs slashing.
