expanding.

A few nights ago some of my friends challenged me to write a country music song. Since I'm always looking to first and foremost, make some money and second, expand my writing skills, I accepted the challenge.

I was given the title of the song, "I Never Go to Waco Anymore," and the rest was up to me.

I'm releasing this to the internetS in hopes that some country music star will want to buy it from me. This is VERY likely to happen. I'm sure of it.

"I Never Go to Waco Anymore"
by Lauren N. Cowling

I never go to Waco anymore.

So hard to make my way south,

All the good times I’ve ever known happened in the 254.

I never go to Waco anymore.


Just past Hillsboro, way before Austin

Waco sits on 35 like a jewel in the desert.

It’s so much more than just Baylor,

The tales of the Brazos soothe a man’s soul.


I never go to Waco anymore.

So hard to make my way south,

All the good times I’ve ever known happened in the 254.

I never go to Waco anymore.


Dr. Pepper, David Koresh, Waco is love.

Waco is looooooooooooove.

Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Cameron Park Zoo, Waco is love.

Waco is loooooooooooooooove.


Sitting on 35 like a star in the night,

She’s not big, but she’s bright.


I never go to Waco anymore.

So hard to make my way south,

All the good times I’ve ever known happened in the 254.

I never go to Waco anymore.
