about

I've always wanted to write a story murder ballad type of song. Here's my go at it. I discovered an old guitar riff that I had recorded years ago and it turned into the catalyst and backbone of this tune.

lyrics

I heard my woman leaving, leaving late last night now
I heard my woman leaving, leaving late last night
leaving late last night
leaving late last night

I got my hat and pistol, out into the dark now
I got my hat and pistol, out into that dark
out into the dark
out into the dark

Hide from the moon that's shining, shining through the trees now
Hide from that moon that's shining, shining through the trees
shining through the trees
shining through them trees

Stood on that porch just thinking, wonder what I'll find now
Stood on that porch just thinking, wonder what I'm finding
wonder what I'll find
wonder what I'm gonna find

I caught my woman laying, laying in his arms now
I caught my woman laying, laying in his arms
laying in his arms
laying in his arms

Sorry for what I done now, took a life that night now
Sorry for what I done now, took a life that night
took a life that night now
took a life that night

Ran to that river crying, crying take it back now
ran to that river crying, crying make it right
crying make it right now
crying make it right

Old river opened up said, come on boy come home now
old river opened up said, come on boy back home
come on boy back home
come on boy back home
come on boy back home
come on boy back home

CW Ayon Las Cruces, New Mexico

CW Ayon hails from New Mexico but his soul lives in the grooves of the Mississippi Hill Country. With a rather simple kick/snare and tambourine setup he lays down solid beats while picking out catchy hooks on anything from acoustic to resonator guitars. Sometimes dropping in a bit of harmonica for good measure. All the while building a sound and style that is deceptively larger than it seems. ... more
