It's Fine
This is definitely a throwback to the days of olden country. The "chorus" in this song is basically a few bars of guitar while speaking "I said it's fine." More than anything, think of this as a talking-blues sort of song. It's guided very much by a rhythmic cadence that evokes something like an old Johnny Cash tune, though the lyrics are all mine.

Wunschliste
Well, the man there said he needed three
Reminded all he had given me
Then the bastard left with everything what's mine
'Cept the shirt I wore, shoes on my feet
They tread through night, a timely beat
Take in the sharp air, breathe it deep
It's fine
I said it's fine
They take interest now on what I owe
When ten percent tithe saves a soul
But better they know, with their blinking sign
They'll have it all, and what you don't
Will force you out and get foreclosed
Raised the tent for their nose long ago
It's fine
I said it's fine
She took half of things I didn't own
And left me so deep in a hole
The cold defies the laws of space and time
And down there did the Devil meet
A man just thrilled to get some sleep
Laughed and said "You think this is deep?
It's fine"
I said it's fine
They came at me and came some more
Knocked, nailed letters to the door
By law, solemnly swore it were a crime
From one I counted three through five
Until past six I did decide
My last two cents, for they were mine
It's fine
I said it's fine
I'll make fair trade, day for a drink
As long as I don't have to think
I'll throw in the pot this rich in troubled mind
And if I win, but should I lose
Guess not me but it's you to choose
And you choose to win, but wouldn't you
It's fine
I said it's fine
The children, they don't know of me
Removed in youth by some degree
A decree said your blood but don't mean your time
They grow old, but I older still
If any luck they'll stay until
I decipher what is and isn't real
It's fine
I said it's fine
In winding days, the winter's cold
Searched my soul bereft of gold
But enough dirt I've seen to fill up both my eyes
I've shoveled all, my back that bent
Every penny earned, two pennies spent
Though one or two things Heaven-sent
It's fine
I said it's fine
.....................
The general gist between verses is a guitar solo with "I said it's fine" in a spoken fashion, talking-blues style. I really want to convey this to ensure it comes across when being read without music.
