Description
posted this song a few months back under C-W genre bu feedback firmly indicates that it's NOT C-W (shows how little I know about this genre!) so I'm re-posting under "acoustic rock" hoping to attract a few more listens

original song description:
I laid down the instrumental tracks for this a few months back and, as usual, have been struggling to write some lyrics (terribly cliched I fear!) and sing em. This is my first post in the C&W catagory but it seems the most appropriate for the way the song turned out.
I play/sing everything here except the drums (DoD loops). Any advice or comments (.... like don't give up your day job ...!) gratefully received.
cheers

Lyrics
Please sleep easy while I’m away
If all goes to plan, I’ll be with you some day
When the river ice melts and the snow geese return
I’ll find my way back here and perhaps you can learn ….
To follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
If I could wind back the hands of time
I know, my darling, you’d surely be mine
I’d have taken the trouble to make you feel sure
That my feelings were growing each day more and more
So just follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
I’d have make it my business to walk the straight line
And I’d make sure you knew that I cherished the time
That we spent arm in arm kicking leaves every fall
Before that fateful winter day put an end to it all
So just follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
I can’t say I’m proud of the way I behaved
But that guy drove me to it and perhaps I’ll be saved
By a final reprieve from the state governor’s hand
But I guess it’s more likely this will be my last stand
So just follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
If all goes to plan, I’ll be with you some day
When the river ice melts and the snow geese return
I’ll find my way back here and perhaps you can learn ….
To follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
If I could wind back the hands of time
I know, my darling, you’d surely be mine
I’d have taken the trouble to make you feel sure
That my feelings were growing each day more and more
So just follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
I’d have make it my business to walk the straight line
And I’d make sure you knew that I cherished the time
That we spent arm in arm kicking leaves every fall
Before that fateful winter day put an end to it all
So just follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart
I can’t say I’m proud of the way I behaved
But that guy drove me to it and perhaps I’ll be saved
By a final reprieve from the state governor’s hand
But I guess it’s more likely this will be my last stand
So just follow your heart ….. it won’t let you down
Live your life straight from the heart

I wouldn't necessarily categorize this as C&W- but not really sure where it
should be... acoustic rock maybe?
At any rate I really like the performances on this song- your voice sounds
great and it's real solid musically. To my ears the mix on the vocals
sounds a little thin... by that I would have liked to have a little more
warmth. Let me know if you don't know what I mean and I'll try to explain
it better. It has nothing to do with the performance at all!
Very nice song... hope you don't mind that I grabbed a copy!
