Hi Brad,

Quite a story! But it lead to a good song.
I'm not religious, but I imagine you can become that when such problems arise.
So I have no comment on the lyrics, but you have a very good, convincing voice for singing them!

I like the intro and (like everyone here) the fingersnaps.
I agree with Floyd, your songs 'screams' for some percussion and a more noticeable bass guitar.
But beside that, when your solo part starts at 2:00 with the fiddle, I think it could use more volume. The song gets in a 'dip' around 2:17, where it needs a bit more power. At least, that's what I would do.

Very nice song though!
Hans
