Original Song Project - Morgan Young -- Nothing Left To Lose

A quiet whimper offered for your use about a dirty little town of stray dogs, lust and hate. I hope you enjoy.

  2. Nice one Mr. Mogie. I hope this is not auto-biographical. What is that line? "Drive like a sinner just stretched out on a cross"? And your crackily, crappy voice is getting less crappy. Just kidding.

  3. Ahh, gee, thanks for the left handed (back-handed?) compliments. The line is actually: Dried like a sinner just stretched out on a cross/baked in the desert that even god forsook"

    The song is not auto-biographical at all. It started off as Lonesome Highway Blues and generic open-road type of song. I don't like to say that a song is about this or that specifically because I like people to bring their own interpretations to them. I will say it was inspired by a trip to Las Vegas.

    classic shit man.

  7. Nice lyrics, and very, very sad guitar at the end. Tears and despair.
