Howdy johnhampt. I should have clarified that.This is one of those "reply to" or "opposite of" songs.Jerry Reed wrote and sang "East Bound And Down", the theme song for "Smokey And The Bandit" where the "Bandit" was trucking a load of beer from Texarkana "down" to Atlanta. Smokey, of course, was the highway patrol trying to catch him. In my version, the "Texas Lone Ranger" is "Westbound And Up", from Fort Worth to Cheyenne, trucking a load of steers. "Smokey And The Bandit" was a blockbuster movie, whereas "Smokey And The Lone Ranger" wouldn't have a chance of "getting out of Dodge". (Dodge City, Kansas, of course.)

Oh, by the way, I failed to see your question about "where is the music"? Well, as soon as you write some music for it, then that's where it will be.Unfortunately, I can't write music. (can't sing worth a Fort Worth darn either)!

Howdy johnhampt. That would be great. I feel it's a song that could be picked up by a label. Let me know.............LWJ

"I get it. Good stuff. Maybe I will write the music then..."OK, anyone else? Music shouldn't be too much of a challenge (not counting me). just make it similar to "Eastbound and Down".
