I completely disagree with virgina flame... this song has the makings of a great song,, it doesnt drag, its supposed to be soulful and melodic...Im a professional artist /songwriter and I think you nailed it.. it shows that Norway writers can nail a beautiful country song.... It gets a vote from this outlaw rebel.... cool work fretclimbers....Johnny </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 96 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="http://www.songramp.com/homepage.ez?Who=spanishmartin" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.songramp.com/homepage.ez?Who="><U><U>spanishmartin</U></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="481"><div> Yeah,another one to go on my favourites.really liked it Martin,and no one would guess that you are not a bonafied country man.Im sure it was the great Hank Williams who said that all it took to write a good song was, a few chords and the truth. -Tony </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
