Lyrics:
===
You tried to do right by your daughter and wife
By makin' good money fast, and hopin' it lasts
The only way you knew how, it's been a godsend for years
But now you find yourself in, your deepest of fears
They're sending you in, they're slidin' the pin
They're sendin' you in, you're a shame to your kin
No old fashioned still, no whiskey or gin
Little bags of white powder - the cardinal sin
You tried to get out, many times she said "No,
With a boy on the way, that plan is so-so"
The furniture's new, and the car's not too old
But now it's all repossessed, the story's been told
They're sending you in, they're slidin' the pin
They're sendin' you in, you're a shame to your kin
No old fashioned still, no whiskey or gin
Little bags of white powder - the cardinal sin

it's actually difficult for me not to be nice about this sort of thing, but you invited it with the "bait and switch".
i think the song is pretty terrible, and i would recommend that if you plan on continuing to work on music that you should try to do something more original. if you're going to sing w/ an affected blues voice you should almost certainly be more original with your lyrics and more interesting with your guitar playing. in short, i wouldn't ask for input on a msg board like this any time soon... you're songs are not ready.

I feel like noting that my voice isn't "affected" that's how I sing.
But thanks for listening, I sincerely appreciate it.

Not a great way to make friends out here, pardner....that was cruel
