    “Old Millers Canyon”

    Hopeless and wrecked
    Filled with abandon
    They found him down there
    At old Millers Canyon
    Soul got up and left
    No longer standing
    Shell of a man
    At Old Millers Canyon

    Old folks in town
    Would sit all around
    Tell us the stories
    Of how it went down
    Scary old tales
    There wasn’t a sound
    Stories from Hell
    At Old Millers canyon

    Chorus
    Hear the wind call
    It won’t let you go
    It draws you in
    Somehow it knows
    This is the end
    Down at Old Millers Canyon
    Pay for your sin
    Down at Old Millers Canyon
    Chorus End

    Last year alone
    Found nine human bones
    They never left there
    They never got home
    Old Millers Canyon
    Collected his stones
    Just like the rest
    Paid with their souls
    Old Miller Canyon
    Collected his toll
    Old Miller Canyon
    He has a hand in
    Where you find the end
    At old Millers canyon
    Chorus

Strong words, shorten up the hook you don't need it that long. Lol Kid Rock. Liked it. Slightly countryish , different from your normal style.

You have a wide range of ways you write, Brian. I like the diversity.
For some reason, 'Blaze of Glory' or 'Young Guns' by Jovi was what I thought of--maybe it was just the western setting.

I can TOTALLY hear this one being a hit :-)
Weirdly, enough---when I was reading thru the lyrics----the song that popped into my head was "Big John"----have no idea why.
LOVE reading what You write, Brian :-) THANK YOU for posting Your Songs :-)
