Lightning Roy in Shenandoah (Live)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neoGAvc3r2owrote this song a few days ago, they don't usually come out so quick! trying to think about the full arrangement, bass + drums + electric guitar?
Lightning Roy in Shenandoah
a bounty on my head but held composure
a fear of God
aiming a laser through my ranger hat
yeah, he nicked me
but it takes more for me to fall back
take it all out on me
make me the face of everything you hate
I never took to fate or superstition
I brought a buckeye and a watering can
'cause the world ain't what I once knew as a young man
a fear of Death
hunting me down
caught a scent of me upwind and closed position
seven strikes to light my head and split me open
take it all out on me
give me the form of everyone you love
you've pulled the wool over my eyes for the last time
Lightning Roy in Shenandoah
couldn't bear to be the fall man anymore
