new rockabilly song based on "mystery train"



I really love rockabilly music but I often feel weird singing the stuff everyone else sings. A 44 year old man can't really explain away the pedophilia of "Sexy and 17". Now that Lee Joseph is in the band -- he's great at those melodic McCartney rockabilly walking bass lines -- I have a stylistic ally.

I wrote this and a love song -- "The Best Of Me", it's called -- kinda right next to each other. If that doesn't explain the contradictions of my heart, nothing will.
