I recorded it live and then dubbed in some backup vocals for the bridge. Again I was lazy and didn't feel like recoding it track by track. I think it adds to the blues feel even though I did it in one take and missed a couple of notes.

I saw in the news where a man was going to jail and his defense was that she commited suicide after an argument. I already had a bluesy riff so I just went with it. By the time I was done he had escaped to the river with nothing but the gun she killed herself with.
Lyrics
Well I'm a wanted man,
Left this morning with a gun in my hand,
And you know killin my old lady wasn't my plan,
So in these woods is where I'm gonna make my stand.
I'm an innocent man but I'll do my time right here along this guilty river. And I'm going out of my mind.
Well you know she was yellin' at me,
But never before has it ended in a felony,
So I'm restin' here under this tree gotta shoot to kill and gotta kill to eat,
But right now I'm gonna rest my feet.
I'm an innocent man but I'll do my time right here along this guilty river. 2x
And I'm going out of my mind,
And you're with me all the time,
Gonna take you out of your game,
And you won't even know my name,
You won't know it.
So is this the perfect place?
Well then leave me to my fate.
You were just the only one, And now its done,
Now its done.
