About
- I'm a lyricist looking for musicians to write music to my lyrics.
Musical Biography: (Note-Lyrical samples posted here will change seasonally.)
Delivering tight, professionally written lyrics to composers, musicians, and singers. Genres: country, folk/roots, singer-songwriter and Celtic. Specializing in adventure song lyrics from the south and wild west. Tons of song lyrics in catalog, or I’ll write to your topic. Getting great lyrics to you is my priority! No ego, no personal agenda, never quit - just top-notch lyrics!
I don't charge for lyrics, nor do I pay, but willing to work on a 30/70 split for you to cover production. It cost nothing to chat. (Member: ASCAP, Songwriters Guild of America, Society of Composers & Lyricists.)

Lyrics
Railroad Charlie
Country, Folk
“Railroad Charlieâ€
Railroad Charlie stepped through the doors
But the Lame Horse Saloon wouldn’t serve no more
Charlie was trouble from morning to night
Trailhands just itchin,’ itchin’ to fight
Now Railroad Charlie slithered up to the bar
Slapped down a hundred, lit up a cigar
“Gimme a whiskey!†he hollered at the man
Man said “You ain’t welcome here in Spokaneâ€
Chorus:
When you think you’re the toughest in the room
Consider your odds and don’t ever assume
You got what it takes to weather the storm
When the gang before you is twenty strong
Now, Railroad Charlie stood six feet tall
Motorcycle jacket, sideburns, and all
Looked just like Elvis’ or at least his twin
Soakin’ wet, weighed a hundred and ten
These here cowboys, just off the trail
Don’t take to strangers, frail and pale
Strongly suggested Charlie hit the road
“Git outta Lame Horse!†somebody crowed
[Repeat Chorus]
Now Charlie weren’t a man to spook ‘n run
So, he pulled his Smith & Wesson gun
That’s when all hell broke lose
And the cowboys fancied themselves a noose
Now Charlie knew he was outnumbered
He yelled from the rafters, he roared, and he thundered
“I’ll see y’all rot in hell, I’ll do my drinkin’ at the Farewellâ€
Outro:
Well, the cowboys, they all jereed and cheered
As Railroad Charlie disappeared
[Repeat Chorus]
Note: I try not to assign a genre, it strangles the composer’s creativity.
