Due to a glitch in Sonar and my own stupidity, I lost both the original and backup .cwp files for this song.  So I cannot edit it in any way, save doing it all over from scratch.
 
Fortunately I had burned a near final copy before the fiasco.
 
I would appreciate any mix suggestions that I could do with just EQ to the total mix.  I can load the .wav file into a new project and use Ozone or some other plug in to fine tune the total mix.  So, If you any suggestions there, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.  Hopefully it's not too bad as is.

Dead or Alive
 
You’re a gambler and a drifter
You’re man all alone
You never had a family
You never had a home
 
You were just a man
Not a man on the run
You wanted to live
But not by the gun
 
It was all a mistake
But they couldn’t see
They wouldn’t listen
They wouldn’t believe
 
They need to hang somebody
And they don’t care who
Someone is guilty
It might as well be you
 
Chorus:
Dead or Alive
Dead or Alive
Now you’re wanted
Dead or Alive
 
You wanted a drink
A place to lay your head
You didn’t hurt anyone
Or want anyone dead
 
You ordered the coffee
And the special today
Didn’t plan to linger
Didn’t plan to stay
 
A shot rang out
And somebody fell
Somebody screamed
And somebody yelled
 
You were in the wrong place
At the wrong time
Now Your Life’s on the Line
 
Chorus:
  
You live your life
From day to day
The price to relax
Is too high to pay
 
You’re under cover
You’re in disguise
Endure the pain
Endure the lies
 
You’re movin’ fast
And layin’ low
Don’t stay too long
Don’t you move too slow
 
You were in the wrong place
At the wrong time
Now Your Life’s on the Line
 
    Chorus:

Very cool tune Daryl... look in your audio folder... maybe you can reconstruct your .cwp from your audio files...  good luck... great lyrics... 

Frank,  I wouldn't know how to put it all together.  I can almost imagine it would be easier to do it all over again, but... you can imagine how much I would hate to repeat all that.

Thanks glad you like the tune.

Daryl, I'm going to go out on a limb here, but it sounds so good on my system that I would leave it alone.  It's a terrific song, and your performances and production are top notch, as usual.  Better ears than mine may be able to offer suggestions, but I wouldn't sweat this.

I'm kinda with Lynn - I don't think I'd mess with it even if you still had the session! It sounds great. I know one of my problems is I beat a project to death trying to perfect everything, when I fail to realize there's something magic in the rawness of it. I often kill that! Lol. That being said - if you really want that session back there are some excellent data recovery programs available that could possibly get them back, provided you have not written over that sector of the hard drive! Good job!

No need to edit it. Sounds fine! You could always run the master tracks through some comps, limiters and EQ boosts, cuts if you felt the need.

Very smooth. Sorry I can't add any helpful comments as I'm a newbie.
A fun listen. Well done!

Is there a more prolific writer in this forum ? What are you gonna be like when you have more timeon your hands ?

If you're not into reconstructing it, then I would call it done and move on personally, nothing leaping out at me eq wise.

No Jumper cables needed here Daryl , sounds alive to me I like it the way it is .

Cool song - James

I would redo the tune. And change the drums to a swing beat. The straight beat works against the song, which is great.
