about

The title comes from a combination of the name “Arthur Morgan” from the Red Dead Redemption video games, as well as the Morgan & Morgan Law firm, whose advertisements on TV, the radio, and billboards are inescapable in the Tampa Bay area.

This song was written as a narrative of a cowboy in the wild west who resorts to a life of crime in order to provide for those he cares the most about and does the dirty work to prevent his loved ones from doing what he does.

Inside he is in a constant struggle with his own morals as well as suffering from PTSD of all the people he has killed or watched die.

The song ends with a final battle with himself, where he is unsure if he will survive, and he leaves one last message to those he loves.

lyrics

Smell the blood on my blade
Cursed from whence you came
Watch the words you say
Sentenced to the grave
YEAH

It's Business as usual
A work I idolized
I recollect, all the encounters
The most disgust I tend to find
Is in me
Is in me

All they do is take and take and take and
Give us nothing but the scraps
I have no option
But to be defect
And live a life riddled with crime

All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
This is the curse that I never chose

An American gunslinging outlaw
Is never phased by maggots who crawl

There is a ringing in my ears
As the gunpowder ignites
All the bodies in the streets
Their silhouettes burned in my mind

I can't remember their faces
But I remember their screams
And even though I am conscious
This is a nightmare I can't leave

All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
YEAH

Tanning hides, cursing the sky
Wish I was never born
Whiskey depleted, revolver in hand
We riding until dawn
Dark clouds, thunder and lightning
I am the rider on the storm
You cross my path, best to watch your mouth
Or you'll be buried 6ft under alive

Pull the trigger, watch it fly
Underneath the moonlit sky
Right between the eyes
This is where you finally die

There's still a ringing in my ears
As more shots run through the town
There is a bounty on my head
The wanted posters all around
Will I ever find this peace?
With all the dust that's in my lungs
And all the gaps between my teeth
Of heavens angels I'm the fallen one
So at the setting of the sun
There is a showdown with myself

If I don't make it out alive
There is still time to save yourself
