Description
This is one of my "big hits" I guess - a popular original that we do in the band (Three Husbands on the Loose). I wrote it back in the 70s when I was listening to a lot of Southern Rock / California Rock stuff. I always thought a mariachi-style trumpet solo would be cool in the middle. Hope you enjoy. (Need to get a drum track on this someday, too.)

Lyrics
I’ve been ridin’ all night on this hot dusty trail
I don’t know how I look, but I feel mighty pale
The moon is refectin’ off brush-covered hills
And the night wind is blowin’ ocassional chills
I’m feelin’ so empty, I’m feelin’ so cold
I’m feelin’ so tired and I’m feelin’ so old
I am ridin’ hard, but I’m not ridin’ free
‘Cause that devil-eyed woman is followin’ me
CHORUS:
And I feel like I been down so long
And I know that woman done me wrong (done me wrong)
I just can’t get away.
She’s hauntin’ my trail and she’s hauntin’ my dreams
That innocent lover si not what she seems
This road out before me, I know where it leads
That devil-eyed woman, I know what she needs
That devil-eyed woman would stand in my way
Trapped in her love adn I can’t get away
I’m runnin’ away from the things that I know
And that devil-eyed woman will not let me go
CHORUS:
And I feel like I been down so long
And I know that woman done me wrong (done me wrong)
I just can’t get away.
I don’t know how I look, but I feel mighty pale
The moon is refectin’ off brush-covered hills
And the night wind is blowin’ ocassional chills
I’m feelin’ so empty, I’m feelin’ so cold
I’m feelin’ so tired and I’m feelin’ so old
I am ridin’ hard, but I’m not ridin’ free
‘Cause that devil-eyed woman is followin’ me
CHORUS:
And I feel like I been down so long
And I know that woman done me wrong (done me wrong)
I just can’t get away.
She’s hauntin’ my trail and she’s hauntin’ my dreams
That innocent lover si not what she seems
This road out before me, I know where it leads
That devil-eyed woman, I know what she needs
That devil-eyed woman would stand in my way
Trapped in her love adn I can’t get away
I’m runnin’ away from the things that I know
And that devil-eyed woman will not let me go
CHORUS:
And I feel like I been down so long
And I know that woman done me wrong (done me wrong)
I just can’t get away.

I can definitely see why you would characterize this that way. Very nice western fell to it as well.
