Topic: Outlaws (Updated)

https://on.soundcloud.com/JIkD0t7MtEIk6YpNOZ

I wrote this song about the main outlaws of Country music.
They changed the music industry ( not just country).
The idea for the song came from when I was thinking of a friend of mine
who used to sing a little jingle when he rode with me if we were going out to the bars.
(" can't get to heaven in Kenyon's car, because the damn thing stops at every bar"  smile  )
Hope you like it.

Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.

I changed a few lyrics and the way it sounded.

Re: Outlaws (Updated)

Jim, the way your lyrics bring American roads with the stop of points and the famous characters who sang and wrote about them to life in your songs is real good.
