I got over a weird virus and started writing this about the outlaw but couldn't find any redeeming characteristics about him so turned it around as a cautionary tale. Maybe the solo is a little too long. What do you all think? https://on.soundcloud.com/MTR3hVic You don't wanna be John Wesley Hardin © Vic Arnold 2024 Your daddy, the preacher, who you couldn't copy and you once a teacher with so much to say. But you took to the gambling, mis-taught everybody Drank yourself bad. Led your goodness astray. You got no time for those that wish you undone If they mean harm they'd better not tell Everyone knows now for sure you won't run A shotgun or pistol can send them to hell Ch. But you don't wanna be John Wesley Hardin and you know you're a fool to be living this way. Remorseful tears won't serve you no pardon When you speak your last words at the end of your days. Inst. "No rest for the wicked" so it says in an old line. You don't want to be you but can't find the way. Life was much harder... back in the old times? But it don't mean a damn if that's all you can say. Ch.2 No you don't wanna be John Wesley Hardin and you know you're a fool to be living this way. You're digging your grave in what should be your garden. "Four sixes to beat."

Vic,
This is an absolutely great song...
Love the instrumentation and lyrics. Your vocal delivery is perfect with some very cool backup vocals. Awesome mix.
A new favorite.

Vic, super tune! The acoustic canopy you built across the arrangement supports your vocals perfectly. No, the guitar solo isn't too long at all. I could have listened to it a bit longer. Maybe all day. Ha! Great cautionary tale indeed. "Four sixes to beat" is a great exit line. Glad you're feeling better!

Great song Vic. I loved the story you put forth and thought the intro was very cool. You've really got a way with Western songs! I thought some of the BGV's were a little off, but that could just be me.

Hi Vic,
A really good song - perfect instrumentation for the story. Good selection of tracks and other intro was terrific! Liked everything about it - nicely done!
Glad that virus finally let you go. Stay healthy!

Hi Vic,
First we looked up the story of John Wesley Hardin. Now we understand the lyrics. Sad story and so is this song. But it's a very good song, a real Western! Good music and nice vocals. The solo is not too long to our taste.
Rob and Anne-Marie

Vic, very good old west outlaw song. The instrumentation is perfect for this. Your vocal is just the right fit. The solo sounds good as does the whole production. Well done, Tom

Hey Brad. I did pay the backing vocals another visit. I hope they're synced better now.

Thanks Alan. Yes, the virus has disappeared. Where to I don’t know. Maybe to seek out the next victim.

Vic, this is an outstanding song. Your vocal and lyrics reminded me of John Prine. Everything is perfect. Outstanding guitar work also.

Rob & Anne Marie. Thank you. I do love a bit of 19th.c history although the lyric isn’t all about the outlaw. Life seemed so much simpler then but harder.

Thank you Dan. Yes, that is interesting, particularly as it’s not much of a story, more of a wagging finger. Imagine trying to write a song about a modern day outlaw. The old ones are easiest because the information on them isn’t so clear cut and so can be more easily re-interpreted.

Hi Vircan,
Very pretty composition which lends itself to meditation. The construction is well done. The guitar playing is impeccable. Well written lyrics. I appreciated.

I love the instrumentation in this.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #69: Bring consciousness to it. #74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Interesting little tale! It's another nice song from you! I was having trouble clearly hearing what you were saying! I don't know if the vocal needs to come up in the mix or if it needs some extra eq work, I was listening with earbuds! I felt the guitar solo length was just right! Overall a pretty darn good song!
Thanks, TB
