The Lone Star Waltz

This here's the "theme song" for the first "season" of my Onward Bound story series. I modeled it after a sort of country ballad.

THE LONE STAR WALTZ
------------------------------------------
The curtain rises in the Great Hall
And grim players both big and small
Answer the pipeman’s playful call
Doing the Lone Star Waltz.

And here’s Old Jack, to start the show!
With a score of pretty maids, all in a row!
Living fast and dying slow,
Doing the Lone Star Waltz.

Doing the Lone Star,
Doing the Lone Star
Doing the Lone Star Waltz!

Hail the bard and his merry band
Rhythm and rhyme go hand in hand
You can dance but can you stand
Doing the Lone Star Waltz?

Love or hate can make you blind
It’s out of sight and out of mind
What dark secret will you find
Doing the Lone Star Waltz?

Doing the Lone Star,
Doing the Lone Star
Doing the Lone Star Waltz!

Now, it’s time for you to choose;
Play it straight or fast and loose?
Will the devil be paid his due
Doing the Lone Star Waltz?

Doing the Lone Star,
Doing the Lone Star
Doing the Lone Star Waltz!

Nice! I can imagine the song played in my mind to the opening of a western style anime or show.

Hank Williams or Randy Travis would have to sing it, and I think its for his western. A litte off topic, but have you played "Red Dead Revolver", Panda? If not, you shoudl rent it this weekend, the stylizatoin Rockstar uses in teh western genre' is very aweing, but the game is vry short. I romped the entire thing secret to secret in ten hours >_<. Super fun though.

Looks good, although I can imagine it to other styles of music as well as country or western...
