It’s been awhile. I was about to post this song in it’s 9th iteration. Then I saw some posts about

Suno. So I gave it a try. Great vocals, however there is a lot of things that could be much better.

There is a lot of unwanted artifacts and crazy noises especially in their instrumental tracks.

This requires a lot time with filters, gates, and general massaging. Their tempo map leaves a

lot to be desired. Reminds me of a meter challenged drummer I used to work with. After many

hours I finally got it to point where I thought I could stop. Using the ACW I added a couple of

Real Tracks and I added some short guitar licks for the signature and fills and on the outro. I’ve

been nursing a torn ligament in my left thumb that may never be the same. So I grit my teeth

and power through it.

No AI lyrics for me! However I did crossover to the dark side for the vocals. Thanks in advance

for your time spent listening.

On Blue Highways


Busted up beaten down bruised battered and torn

The last time this old cowboy cried was the day he was born


All those cold and lonely nights the never-ending days

Long lost dreams and broken hearts left on blue highways


Black jeans white hat didn’t stay that way for long

Like the sky this old rodeo life just goes on and on


All those cold and lonely nights the never-ending days

Long lost dreams and broken hearts left on blue highways



Left her back in Abilene where she waits for me

I don’t know when I’ll be back I guess we’ll just have to see


All those cold and lonely nights the never-ending days

Long lost dreams and broken hearts left on blue highways
