on the outskirts of a Texas town
walkin' slow, September cool
full moon soft after evenin' rain.

the scene's turned all upside down,
some dust inside the dream.
no more for me, i'm goin', yah, i'm gone.

pappy said, "You go an' count on anything,
you count too much. Salvation's gonna come,
don't worry your boots 'bout that.

maybe winnin' a game on a Broadway Straight,
maybe the wrong woman ups and walks away.
you strip the blindfold, justice go a rovin' eye."

that girl's loopy, all's it damned amounts to;
wants this, that, muscles ache thinking' on it.
no goin' back, another day would tear it.

thinkin' ain't like distance on silver rails;
my mind loops back to that last night
flip flop lights, the message like a scream,

her eyes a fickle switching yard gone wild,
big reds flashin', flingin' my connections
into that star-lost, stumble down night.

I guess this is what you get when putting Delta blues Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan & Johny Cash in one band. (Johnson playing guitar, Dylan playing blues harp and Cash singing  ) This is done just right, just like the other blues songs I’ve heard you perform. Well done sir.

Cheers, Dorian

Hey RC ,
Dylan would be proud , and invite to his Malibu house for supper
Good job man !!!

[rightly]

I think I'd listen to this style in my 20s, in the 90s
A fine way to go. Here, an excellent vocal delivery
Quite an organic way of running through, narrating the poetry.
Very evocative. Refreshing.
