You say you are leavin here tomorrow
You say you are leaving me today
With all of this pain and sorrow
Please be on your way
I remember all of the good times
I remember all the fun we had
I don't know what i did to lose your love dear
I only know our loves gone bad
You say you are leaving here tomorrow
You say you are leaving me today
With all of this pain and sorrow
Please be on your way
I can't stop thinking of our love dear
I know I'll never be the same
My heart keeps crying out for you love
Every day it calls your name
You say you are leaving here tomorrow
You say you are leaving me today
With all of this pain and sorrow
Please be on your way
Please be on your way
Please be on your way

Troy, Nice country song! Good, clear vocals. Accordion worked very well on this. P.S. I am sure this was more fun than painting  Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Well done!
Catchy - you nailed the Buck Owens vibe. I didn't miss the guitars at all.

Nicely done! The accordion added a lot of character, and I loved the upbeat vibe on this. Got my toe tapping right away, and it's delightfully catchy as well. Plus, the harmonies are right on the money. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

The Tex Mex accordion reminds in the arrangement reminds me of Ry Cooder's Chicken Skin Music.
The Harmonies in the chorus mark it as very BUCK.
Nicely done - you sing like a Brownsville native.
Cheers

Hi Troy,
I think this is a very classic Countrysong. That means this is how they must sound like!
But I'm no expert, because I'm Dutch.
There are only two differences in this and a lot of other Countrysongs: you used no pedal steele, but a accordion. And you don't live even close to the Mexican border.
The harmony is very nicely done, just like the clear vocals. So, my compliment for your composition and performance.
Have a nice weekend,
Hans

I really appreciate all the kind comments, but sometimes we are our own worst critics. I had a listen to this, this morning and there are a few things I just don't like. So much so I'm taking it down. I'll do a rewrite and hopefully it will be better (we'll see). In the future I won't write, record, mix and post all in the same day. I think there is value in walking away from it for a day or two and having a listen on fresh ears.

Why so?
What was wrong about your song?
Not using a pedal steele? Who bothers?
Keep it as it is, I would advise.
