Southside of Heaven

The opening track of Mescalito, the first song he ever wrote.
Ryan Bingham, from Mescalito (2007)

Bingham wrote it, in a trailer house in Stephenville, Texas, in his early years there, and the Charleston City Paper (May 25, 2011) identifies it as the first song he ever wrote. An earlier version appeared on the Dead Horses album Wishbone Saloon (2007) and was then reworked as track one of Mescalito at 6:19. It was the first single from the album, released November 30, 2007, and did not chart. We could not tell which version our upload is, and found no statement from him on its meaning.
