When I wrote this one I didn't like the song.
After a while it grew one me.
Hope it grows on you too.

After all who hasn't wanted to do this when their home alone?

Vocals and harmonica myself.

Sorry lost all the original files on this on also.

Watching John Wayne television

Well I grab my hat and my bridle too.
Ive got my spurs and an old lasso.

Well its about time I made the decision bout
Watching John Wayne on the television.

Got the TV on I got the curtains drawn.
I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west.

Well the bad guys always wear the blackest of hats.
I read it in a book now that's a fact.

Ill get some fries during the intermission.
While watching John Wayne on the television

Got my Cuban heels on I chew tobacco too.
I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west.

Chorus

Watching old movies on a Saturday night.
When the smoke clears I will win the fight.

Stagecoach brakes in a cloud of dust.
If I was there, there would be no fuss.

Don't say a word now reserve you opinion,
While I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west.

I got my bandana on I got the sound up loud.
I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west.

Fill

I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west.
I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west

A good (non cliche) song subject.
Lyrics are well crafted with good verse/chorus continuity.

Well done....

EDIT: oops...I almost left a lyrical comment that you did not ask for. smile

Had a lot of fun listening. Catchy tune and lyrics. I've always been a big fan of John Wayne.

Thanks guys.
Two of my friends got together one night when their wives where away and watched some old black and white John Wayne movies on DVD.

He still may have been know as Marion Morrison then?
My friends reminded me of two young boys let lose for the first time.

One being in his mid sixties and the other pushing forty.
Their telling of the night out amused me so I wrote the tune from their get together.

From memory I don't think they really used cap guns?

Thanks again.
Rob

Wow Bob, you've got a whole library of stuff there

Cap gun? ha ha

There might be some missing lines between the words:

"Don't say a word now reserve you opinion,"
and
"While I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west."

Maybe another spot or two.

See? I do take notice

Wow... what a mental picture THAT painted.... I think you probably should have included a line that placed this many years ago and while you were a 7 year old kid....

I'd think about a rewrite of the lyrics to make it fit clearly into the world of a 7 year old's playtime make believe. Adding that one thing puts it into the proper perspective.

Interesting song.

Excellent song!

I had a flashback to my childhood when my parents took our family to Frontier Town, a cowboy type amusement park in the New York State's Adirondacks. My brothers and I were positive we killed those Indians, bank robbers, and stagecoach robbers with our cap guns when you sang "While I got my cap gun loaded I'm about to rule the west"!

Anyway thanx partner for the memories!
