Roland's Song

Roland had a six gun in his hand
A fire in his soul
He was out to find that bastard of a man
Who put his daddy in a hole

When his mama stopped him at the door
She begged him not to go

She said

Don't walk away now boy
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away
Then she looked him in the eyes
And she knew
God boy you're already gone.
You're already gone.

Suzy was a night bar waitress
'Bout as pretty as they come.
Her heart and bed shared a blue-eyed boy
Who was hiding on the run.

When she told him cops had been round asking,
Roland turned around and grabbed his gun

And she said,

Don't walk away now boy
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away
Then she looked him in the eyes
And she knew
God boy you're already gone.
You're already gone.

Then she kissed him on the lips
As he walked out into the rising sun.

Avery was a good man
And the sheriff of the town.
He was out to find that foolhearted boy
Who shot his daddy's killer down.

When he questioned the girl at the bar
He knew she had a lot to hide
And when Roland walked out Suzy's door
Avery was waiting for him right outside

And he said

Don't walk away now boy
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away
Then looked him in the eyes
And he knew.

Roland went for his pistol
But Avery's eyes, they were sharp and peeled.
Thirty years of honed reflexes
Shot from heart to hand to steel

And as Avery called for the ambulance to come
Suzy's arms were all Roland could feel

And she said

Don't walk away now boy
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away
Then he looked her in the eyes
And he said
Sorry Sue, but I'm already gone.
I'm already gone.

Then she kissed him one last time
Under the early morning sun.

And I can hear her crying

Don't walk away now boy
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away
Then she looked him in the eyes
And she knew
God boy you're already gone.
You're already gone.

i feel like im at a shitty bar listening to their shitty local band

[briauc]

Sloppy guitar, crappy generic blues infused pop, flat, poorly pronounced vocals. The tempo is all over the place. how do people like this.

It had been a year since I last listened to this song. Then with this whole 30 Day Song Challenge hype, I thought about which songs had a prominent role in my life. You didn't quite make it to my Favourite Song, but you do deserve my Favourite Song This Time Last Year title (also perhaps song I know all the words to).

You're brilliant man, don't ever stop making music.

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

[staindinrain]

if you slow down the tempo a little i'm sure this is mainstream music. great lyrics.
