Louisville

Americana festival submission

Louisville

Born on the river
Raised up by the rails
You broke my heart and then you broke my back
It's been a long time coming
Now I'm stuck here on this track
Trying to get to Louisville

Louisville oh Louisville
I'm down on bended knees
Won't you take me back pretty please?
Louisville oh Louisville
This time I'll do you right
Just bring me home on the L&N tonight

Got all the way to Memphis
Till running out of dough
I met a pretty girl but she told me where to go
Fell asleep in an alley
And woke up in a trough
I drank so much I've had to swear it off

All those dreams of California
Have all gone up in smoke
I'm just another rounder spent and broke
But I'll try once again once I get my fill
Of living in Louisville

Louisville oh Louisville
I'm down on bended knees
Won't you take me back pretty please?
Louisville oh Louisville
This time I'll do you right
Just bring me home on the L&N tonight

Thanks Alex. Appreciate your kind words. Equipment is Zoom H2n and Martin guitar. Didn't tweak anything, probably should have as it's kind of rough around the edges. But so is the nature of the song so thought it might work in this case.

"I drank so much I had to swear it off" - now that's a great line.

This is lovely and really suits you (it sounds like it's sung from the heart).

Fabulous Bob

Listened the other day in my car & enjoyed it even more the 2nd time. Really nice, clear recording of a great performance. Welcome!
Rock on!

[Rolow]

Very good songwriting, dash.  Also well performed and well recorded.

You voice matches both the rough and the warmth of the song.  As does the well played guitar.

All excellent for this festival.  Well done man.
