Collabs would be nice
Changes to lyrics by agreement only
Took too long to find the right road
the toll came at too much cost
Took too much time to find myself
And the me that I found was lost
Mhmmmm Now I’ve
Got the Devil on my shoulder
A Six string on my back
I’m half way to hell
And I’m Never looking back
Gonna Ride
Mhmmmm Gonna Ride
Took too long to see the whole truth
Roses strangled by the weeds
Took too much notice of other’s wants
Forgot I had my own needs
Mhmmmm Now I’ve
Got the Devil on my shoulder
A Six string on my back
I’m half way to hell
And I’m Never looking back
Gonna Ride
Mhmmmm Gonna Ride
Took too long to shake it all off
Velvet shackles bound my soul
Took too much from my dammed life
So that you could have it all
Mhmmmm Now I’ve
Got the Devil on my shoulder
A Six string on my back
I’m half way to hell
And I’m Never looking back
Gonna Ride
Mhmmmm Gonna Ride
Mhmmmm Gonna Ride

This sounds like it’s accepting all of you which I find sweet; think I owe you a #tit4tat gotta relook later …on how many : this just caught my eye
@gm7 Mar 2022
Yes..I get the vibe of Robert Johnson and i heard some delta blues playing a hot sultry night!
@nadine Mar 2022
This is a real hellride. I imagine this with a worn out baritone blues / bluegrass voice. Fingerpicking style in alternate tunings. Halfway to hell and never looking back. Badass. I hope you find somebody who can nail this, cause this is strong. #tit4tat

@sheslin Neil did a version that was posted up but feel free to take a run at them. I retain rights to all my lyrics in case I ever learn enough notes to write the music. Maybe next FAWM lol
@sheslin Feb 2022
I love these lyrics and hear a song in them, but I see Neil is working on them. If that falls through or if you are open to 2 interpretations to your awesome lyrics please let me know!
@griffith10 Feb 2022
A good write, hope you get some music for this.
@radiobenedetto Feb 2022
You take the devil, a six string, a road to hell and what've you got? You got yourself a country song! I like the image of a rose strangled by weeds, very vivid and original. Curious . . . do you hear this as old country (e.g. hank williams sr.) with a sparse almost haunting arrangement of voice and guitar or more of a new country that's a little more upbeat with more instrumentation? Strong work.

This sings off the page with a great feel for a country rock blues! Wonderful write! Great chorus! I wish my music skills were better!
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
Favorite line: "I’m half way to hell / And I’m Never looking back"
@neil Feb 2022
Hey, I'm going to take a go at setting this to music. Do you mind if I swap some of the words around a bit to fit the rhythm?
I've never done a collab on FAWM before.
Thanks,
Neil

Oh Man, you hurt me good on this one. I have been there more than once.
Gems left and right, seriously. You capture the human condition without sugar coating, which makes for great imagery indeed. This is a great write!
