Pineywoods, PM me your email address. I put a tune and some chords to it. I'll send you a recording.

Try it again. I had it set to private, apparently.

OK. With the help of my 11 year old, I was able to put this on YouTube finally. Here is the link. Hope this works.

Y'all both did a great job! Awesome. I guess I'm gonna have to break out the strings and see what I can do with it. Very well written piece by the OP.

With permission of course, can I download this to my ipod? If so, how would I make that happen?

I'm good with it if the guy's who sang it are... not sure how to do it though

Go for it Johnny... I'd love to hear some more folks mess around with it.

In case anyone else wants to play with it, here is the latest edited lyrics that I sent to Steve and that he posted to youtube.




Vs 1
Well I'm just a man flawed through and through
I don't talk to Jesus, like I need to
A choice every day, do I follow His will
It's His way or mine, man the struggle is real

Vs 2
My prison door’s open I know I’m redeemed
But the old man is right there still calling to me
He says this is your life, just do what you please
Pick up those chains, you'll never be free

Chorus:
Then I remember those letters in red
The truth is I'm His and the old man is dead
This life is hard, I can't trust what I feel
So I trust in Jesus, man the struggle is real

Vs 3
Lord you were tempted but you overcame
A cross where you carried my sin and shame
So quick to forget what you did for me
But quick to remember who I used to be

Vs 4
A voice that I know say's listen my son
That devil's a liar, it's me that has won
His words are empty but mine remain true
Just lay it all down like I did for you

Chorus:
So I remember those letters in red
The truth is I'm His and the old man is dead
Yes this life is hard, I can't trust what I feel
So I trust in Jesus, man the struggle is real

Wow!

I'm not sure how to do it either, but the "rights" to a song belong only to the writer and the publisher (if it is published), not the singer. In my case, I was just putting some music to YOUR words. Shane might feel differently since he sang some of your words and some of his own.

No problem here. I don't know if you can download an mp3 off of soundcloud though. If you can, knock yourself out.

Awesome work men.

Awesome job! I thought I was listening to Jason Boland for a minute.
