Lyrics

Chorus: "Turn back now don't follow me down, oh good lord have mercy on my soul"

Strong southern rock seventies vibe. This could have been an early Skynrd tune.

Good song, Great guitars and vocals! Great feel, Raw and dirty! Enjoyed

Great sound in true southern rock tradition such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allmans. Really good guitar work.

Pretty much a dead ringer for ZZ Top and Billy Gibbons, pretty much any commercial listing asking for something in the style of ZZ Top would be interested.

Had me from the beginning. You know this kind of music. Love it.

This has a very intense groove and heavy hook...sweet guiutar, too and the vocals are there,t too..
