about

Inspired by the song of the same name which Johnny Cash does, I wanted to write a country style song as a closer.

lyrics

Gonna write you a tear stained letter
About the way that things used to be
Worlds collide emerge mountain so high
Under whisky soaked river and stars in the sky

Tilling the fields we gazed upon
Harvest came where we should be strong
Put to the test I joked and I cried
Under whisky soaked river and stars in the sky

I'm so lonesome I could cry
Sang Hank on the Jukebox he's waiting to die
Know the feeling he got as the river ran dry
Under whisky soaked river and stars in the sky

Write my tale of sorrow and pain
Write it true and as cold as the clay
Tear it up and write it again and again and again
Under whisky soaked river and stars in the sky
