Liner Notes:

The blues-rocker. Another alter-ego. Recorded all the instruments and made a quick mix.

Lyrics:

The Tale of the Two-faced Texan

He waltzed in like he owned the world
That two-faced Texan stole my girl
He waltzed in like he owned the world
Sure as hell, I'm gonna get her back

She went down to Texas
By way of New Orleans
She went down to Texas
You're about to see a city boy get mean

Chorus:

I said, "Sally go get your bag, I'm going to take you home."
I said, "Sally go get your bag, I'm going to take you home."
She said, "I can't go, don't hold the phone."
She said, "You got a better chance at a rodeo."

I reached for my six shooter gun
Yelled, "you better hide or run."
Wasn't quite quick enough on the draw
I felt his fist connect with my jaw

Roll and Tumble like tumble weeds
Holy Hell! Texas boys fight mean
I'll give her one last chance
Before I get killed, gotta get back

Battered and bloodied, I start my Chevy Chevelle
Hit the gas, peal out fast
If I ever give Tex a second run
I'll bring an army or a bigger gun

Whew! Great rocker. The overdrive on the vocals really works for this. Very cool. Gotta love those lyrics.

awesome groove here. I love dirty alterna-country jams like this - kind of reminds me of a rougher sort of Refreshments song. the chorus is great. the way you play with your voice is fun, especially when you drop it low.

What Patrick said. Awesome. Is there an effect on the vocals there, or is that the mic clipping?

Yes! Great chorus! This song had me tapping my toes and bopping in my chair. Great full sound to this.

This is how every blues-rock song should sound. Distorted, well-delivered vocals + catchy chorus + loud guitars and drums = euphony. Tambourine doesn't hurt, either.
