Liner Notes

Once again David (@mctown) has challenged me... this one dogged me around for a bit, but I wrestled it into submission, and here's the outlaw country that came of all that! #collab #outlawcountry #electricguitar #harmonica

Lyrics

Seemed like almost any other summer day Me and the field cutting down the hay But a rich man's men, came and killed dad Took mama to the barn like they planned I buried mom and dad by the old oak I knew the man and what all he owned

But I took justice with my daddy's gun They saw me coming and thought I'd run But I shot them dead with my daddy's gun

I couldn't hang around for that rope Knew there wasn't any other way to go I had my vengeance but I had no home So I lit up down that old outlaw road I headed west to find me a life I'd have nothing but it'd be mine

But I took justice with my daddy's gun Now they saw me coming and I thought I'd run But I shot them dead with my daddy's gun

Now the years go by like all the years do I punch my cows now and I play loose I know the sun won't ever forget the truth And I know the sun won't ever forget the truth

I took justice with my daddy's gun Now they saw me coming and thought I'd run But I shot them dead with my daddy's gun

I shot them dead... With my daddy's gun

Dark country w/ a good story and harmonica - yes, please. Nice guitar holding it all together. And alway appreciate when the harp is allowed center stage for a big. "the sun won't ever forget the truth" 👍

Thanks for the listen.

@clownresidue 3d

Love the instrumentation! I immediately got excited once I heard the harmonica

@phylo 3d

Thank you.

Good 'ol murder ballads don't come around often enough IMHO. Really good write by David and a perfect composition of music to fit it like a glove. The harp is delicious.

@phylo 3d

Thanks for your kind words, Jeff. Checking out your tunes.

@redlady8029 3d

Great Job

@phylo 3d

Thanks!

Outlaw songs and murder ballads usually go down well with me, and most certainly if they are as well done as this. Striking chorus, the right guitar sound and cool harmonica playing.

@rowleyjohnuk 4d
