New song....well, it's been a WIP for several months as I worked some things out.....

This is best served loud.

Whiskey Train

The Band:
B3 Organ 686

Everything else: H. Hartley : Bass, Drums, 4 guitar tracks. Just some basic stuff.

The guitar on this is my Gibson SG through a new Quilter Amp.... very cool amp BTW. It's analog, with JMP, AC15, and Fender amps modeled, choice of open or closed back cabs, and Jensen, V-30 or CL-80 speakers. No FX, just some reverb like the real amps, and tone.... oh my... I'm in love.

Lyrics

Whiskey Train

[Verse]
Rusty tracks in a wasteland dark
Midnight moon can't see too far
Shattered dreams in a bottle's grip
Had it all at my fingertips

[Verse 2]
Echoes howl where shadows creep
Empty nights no chance to sleep
Whiskey pours like tears on fire
Burnin' down like a funeral pyre.

[Chorus]
On that whiskey train ridin' through the pain
Haunted by those dreams I'll never see again
Rollin slow with a tortured mind
Broken hearts I've left behind

[Verse 3]
Gravel crunch beneath my boots
Hidden past I can't refute
Stained with sin from past life bends
On a road that never ends

[Verse 4]
Ashes fall like haunted rain
Carry weight of love disdained
Hurts like hell but can't complain
Ghosts like smoke on a whiskey train

[Chorus]
On that whiskey train ridin' through the pain
Haunted by those dreams I'll never see again
Rollin slow with a tortured mind
Broken hearts I've left behind

[Verse 3]
Gravel crunch beneath my boots
Hollow cries from tarnished roots
Stained with sin from past life bends
On a road that never ends

[Chorus]
