Ch. If you want to live forever you have to be outlaws You gotta be a rebel for a time If you want to be remembered you have to be outlaws You gotta be a rebel for a while V3 They say Jessie turned a new leaf Thought Bob was his friend Turned his back for a little while and his crimes came to an end V4 A man grows old in his prison ... some say paying for his crimes but gets to be the President because he crossed their line Ch.

Vic,
This is nice. What a great story as well. Nice production, solid progression, nice fills and solo, and your voice has never sounded better. I'm diggin this song. Well done!

Hi Vic, Congrats on learning a new toy. Sounds like you've mastered it, good overall musically. Cool toe-tapper. A couple small things with the lyrics. Verse four doesn't fit in with the rest of the verses as it's vague where the others talk about someone specific. Also I think the bridge is the weakest link, it's not really adding to your cool story. The only other thing, since you say "you gotta be a rebel" I was expecting to hear "you have to be an outlaw". Just sayin.  Ricki

I reckon that's not very short of true, John. Hey! I'd do a whole album for that. Thanks for the listen Vic

Verse four left me flat (and wondering). I was thinking it was referring to the saying "Steal a little and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot and they make you king." Outlaw music is starting to get big. They even have their own association now. You might just have a theme song here.

OK. If anyone is out there, after taking note of some comments I've uploaded a version on Soundcloud with a new 3rd. verse. Here's the link http://snd.sc/1eFqL24and here's the verse V3 Black Jack. They got his weight all wrong Where'd he rest his head? In some bloody gunny sack with a pine box for his bed.
