When It's Over - Rick Rowan

Here's another one with a vocal. It's kind of an outlaw country-rock song, so I thought I'd put some old west pics to it. The lyrics are:

Cops on my trail keep me movin' endlessly
I jumped the bail, I decided to flee
They would've sent me up until the end of time
When I ain't the guy who committed the crime
I tried to tell them, I tried to explain
I tried to tell them, that I had been framed
I tried to tell them, but they needed someone to blame

The temperature, it was a hundred and five
And I was feelin' more dead than alive
I stopped in that desert town just for a drink
And the whole thing happened quicker than a wink
Before I knew it, before I could guess
Before I knew it, I was under arrest
Before I knew it, they were after me to confess

Now I'm pushin' on thru the desert in the night
And I can't sleep until I set a few things right
I got a shotgun that's in my back seat
And there's a job that I've got to complete
And When It's Over, and I've made my amends
When It's Over, I won't have to pretend
'Cause When It's Over, I'll be just what they think I am
