Payne's Song is a Southern crime drama romance novel by Dale and Rosanna Mouser. Singer/songwriter Payne McCarty and his best friend Skeeter, a racecourse jockey, travel to Nashville to confront publishing house owner Roger Durwood about Payne's stolen song, only for Payne to end up in county jail. Now, back in Texas, Skeeter finds himself in a quandary when his boss loses his life in a freak flood, and he is beaten up on the orders of the local drug dealer, Red Phillips, who also fixes the races. Meanwhile, their band, Nova Scotia, is set to perform at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July picnic. However, after meeting country music sensation Rusti King, Payne falls in love, and Rusti is determined to get his song's rights back.
