One of the best ways for me to get into a character's headspace is with some excellent tuneage.
Then, of course, 'cause it's fun to share and I made a pretty, I figured I might as well post about it.
Ain't No Grave - Johnny Cash
There ain't no grave can hold my body down.
There ain't no grave can hold my body down.
When I hear that trumpet sound, I'm gonna rise right out of the ground.
Ain't no grave can hold my body down.
Well, look way down the river, what do you think I see?
I see a band of angels and they're coming after me.
Ain't no grave can hold my body down.
There ain't no grave can hold my body down.
Lead Me Home - Jamie N Commons
Oh lord in the darkness, lead me on my way.
Oh lord in the darkness, lead me on my way.
Lead me home.
Lead me home.
Father's Son - Fistful of Mercy
My father he don told me,
to never ever hurt no one.
But now I'm sick an' mad and I been caught red handed,
and I'm still father's son
I lay awake til daylight,
a pillow and a gun,
and if my secret dreams could be seen on screen,
then they'll be coming for this one.
Goodbye Yesterday - Scott Whyte
I'm drivin' to tomorrow now.
Can't see too far ahead, what life'll be about.
Rearview's outta sight, goodbye.
Goodbye.
I'm gonna find some peace of mind.
I'm done with strife, ready for my life.
I'm leavin' yesterday behind.
Don't know what waits me, don't what I'm gonna find.
Goodbye, yesterday.
Goodbye.
Eastwood - Brad Paisley feat. Clint Eastwood

Beer for My Horses - Toby Keith feat. Willie Nelson
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds.
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets.
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground.
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down.
You can bet he'll set 'em down 'cause.
Justice is the one thing you should always find.
You got to saddle up your boys; you got to draw a hard line.
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune.
We'll all meet back at the local saloon.
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces,
singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.
Ghost Riders in the Sky - Spiderbait
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel.
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky;
for he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry.
Yippie yi ohhhhh; yippie yi yaaaaay.
Ghost Riders in the sky.
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet.
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky on horses snorting fire.
As they ride on hear their cry.
This Old Road - Kris Kristofferson
Looking at a looking glass, running out of time.
On a face you used to know.
Traces of a future lost, in between the lines.
One more rainbow for the road.
Thinking of the faces in the window, that you passed along the way;
Or the last thing you believed in.
Ain't you come a long way,
Ain't you come a long way,
Ain't you come a long way down,
This old road.
