Rocky Mountain Blues
© James Richardson/Tim Keesee

V1
I dialed your number up just to hear you say hello
Been a while, how ya’ been, how’s life in Colorado
Savannah’s still the same, ain’t much here that’s changed
Well maybe there’s one thing, the missin’ you won’t go away

CH
I’ve got these Rocky Mountain blues in Georgia without you
Old mem’ries roam my mind when I close my eyes
Can’t stand hearin’ that door slam again
While pretendin’ I’m amused
Girl, my pride’s seein’ red
Through these Rocky Mountain blues

V2
It was love at first sight when I saw your angel face
What I wouldn’t give right now to relive those yesterdays
You tell me that you’ve moved on, you’re through livin’ in the past
I say the past is the one thing left between us that’ll last

REPEAT CH

V3
How could I just let you leave with so much for me to lose
Girl, my pride’s seein’ red through these Rocky Mountain blues
Yeah, my pride’s seein’ red, my pride’s seein’ red
Through these Rocky Mountain blues

Too good for zero responses. Very well done.

Sorry for such a late response,Thanks Bugsey I don't spend as much time on here as I probably should.Seems I can't keep myself from writing or recording or out playing long enough to get on here lol..

Hi Jimmy!

You hang out here and make a few comments in the forum, you'll get more action.

I love the tonal quality with your production here. I kind of feel an "Alabama" influence here a bit--cool country song here. A couple spots are a little "pitchy" with the lead vocal, but I think you have a really nice timbre with your voice. The lyrics work well with your mood as well--nice write!

steady-eddie.

Great voice. I liked geographical references. Sad country songs.... just can't get enough of them!

Thanks again for sharing.

I hear Vern Gosdin here.
Good one, Jimmy.
Vic

Jimmy--


I agree with Vic: Vern Gosdin is written all over this one--He was a favorite of mine for years--Good luck with this fine song!

Classic country sound to this. I thought this did what it was supposed to do very nicely. The one line that I didn't particularly like was "While pretendin I'm amused", in the chorus. It sounded like it was kind of put there for lack of a better line/rhyme idea, instead of because it contributed to the song. I'm not sure, maybe that's exactly what you wanted to say, but to me it just seemed a little bit odd of a word choice for the situation. Overall, I really enjoyed the listen. Good job, and good luck with it!

Thanks for taking the time to give a listen Eddie,Alabama is still on my playlist I listen to regularly.Always did love their music..

Thanks Michael,I myself love the sad songs.I think sometimes I'm just a sick depressed person because I love them so much lol.Have a good one thanks for the listen..

Thanks for the listen Vic,Vern was the man in my opinion.Their was never any doubt when one of his songs come on who was singing..

Thanks Mackie,I still love listening to his stuff.I think Jamey Johnson covers his songs very well.But nobody can do it like he could,Have a good one thanks for the listen..

Thanks for the listen Avweek,appreciate the critique.I will have to go give this one a fresh listen.I get wrapped up sometimes when learning one and recording that I hear it too much and start missing things.I find that if I stay away from it for a short time and go back I hear different things.
