At last, after a very busy year, I managed to finish a new one from a lyric sent to me by Mike LeBlanc.
The original lyric was quite light hearted but I cant do light hearted so had to re write it a little and write a bridge for contrast.
I was told, after a hearing test recently that my hearing has deteriorated (mostly on the high frequencies) so I hope I have compensated for that.
Some of "The Band" I only used for a few bars.

Synth 1278
Guitars 1681, 2201, 2444, 405, 2534

Whistle 3770

V1
I see them all,ridin' hard
and me I play a part
Guns blazin' through the smoke and dust
Lawman, outlaw, it don't matter much
V2
Wearing boots with spurs that jangle
Hat pulled low. Ready to wrangle
Or maybe sitting in a small cantina
telling white lies, to a senorita
Chorus 1
I dream of old El Paso
For Tombstone or Deadwood I yearn
My head for a bounty, my chest for a tin star
My heart in a spaghetti western
V3
i'd live by the gun and die the same
imagining someday they'd carve my name
like notches on the gun of bad men I killed
on some headstone up on boot hill
Chorus
Inst.
Bridge
But I sit in my room in downtown chicago
with my take out and six pack ... and more time to burn
Watching the TV. A movie called Django
Totally lost .........
Chorus 2
So take me down to Amarillo
Cheyenne, Santa Fe, Abilene
with my name on some bullet i ride like the wind
Living the spaghetti western
