Twangy Guitar
lonesome tough
low
gritty growls
laconic as a bad ass movie star
arrogant
slinky
women stare
all over him
he's got it down
cold
a one man rat pack
on the make
'til the call of the road
takes over his soul
something he often regrets
but the lonesome tough
don't do duets

Sorry, can't offer critique, this is rough, tough and powerful,
cheers,
