How you guys are picking which songs to post.. well you must be mind readers. You guys are great. I love you all. But i can't post one.. i don't remember all the words. It was a Jim Croce song though.. that i think would fit in here.. something about "i was walking down a lonely road, i was a lonely man all alone, then you came and took my hand.. and something something that's when i became a man.
Oh well. this old age.. it sucks to lose memories like that. But it's always nice to make new ones too... Thank you all..
Dave
Oh.. and bridge over troubled waters is another good one. But again my memory fails me as to who the song writer was. That's why i have to take lots of pictures and write lots of notes nowadays.

Well.. Simon and Garfunkel did Bridge Over Troubled Water...
When youre weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all; Im on your side. when times get rough And friends just cant be found, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.
When youre down and out, When youre on the street, When evening falls so hard I will comfort you. Ill take your part. When darkness comes And pains is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl, Sail on by. Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way. See how they shine. If you need a friend Im sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind.

And, from Throwing Muses...
No Parachutes
Pushing a ribcage Makes it hard to breathe And yet we hold our sweaty hands Year after year Some new year Without music in our head Newspaper tenement coming up dead
So my parachute is hanging around I guess I bust it on the ground Nothing helps me fall Nothing helps me float Today I want to walk away
Pushing a ribcage Makes it hard to breathe And yet we whisper in the dark Year after year Some new year Without newness in our head Newspaper tenement coming up dead
So my parachute is hanging around I guess I bust it on the ground Nothing helps me fall Nothing helps me float Today I want to walk away

You mean this one?
Seems like such a long time ago I was walking on a lonely road Getting tired of dreamin' alone Like all the lonely people I had known
Seems like such a long time ago There was no one who would share my song I was just a boy far from home But I became a man when you came along
We spent the whole night talkin' You said you'd like to see the sunrise But in the gold of mornin' Was nothing I had not seen in your eyes
I was so afraid to touch you Thought you were too young too know So I just watched you sleeping Then you woke and said to me The night is cold It frightens me And I could sleep so easy next to you
It wasn't very long ago You said that you would like to share my road Then you started singin' my song You said so many nights are waiting Let's not spend a moment wasting time 'Cause we have very far to go I will go if you will take me I have never had a lover I am young But I am so alone
We spent the whole night talkin' But in the gold of mornin'

Dave - she's responding to the song Mostly Purple posted on the previous page. I think if she'd had a lighter in her hand, she would have started yelling for "Freebird"
My goal is to honor God through my labors with land and family.

Hey Dave! Kansas was a rock group that was popular when I was in my late teens. Awesome band. I really got into a lot of their lyrics. If you can, you might want to take a listen to some of their tunes. The song Jeanette referenced and posted lyrics for is called "Carry On My Wayward Son". It was the theme song for a movie done back in 1978 called "Heros" and it stared Henry Winkler. "Heros" was the first movie about Vietnam vets and the issues they had to deal with upon returning to civilian life. It was a special movie for me and played a big role in the way I think about a lot of stuff.
Wow Lav! Yea, I might have. I grew up with Lynard Skynard. Literally. Well, actually the guys in the band were a little older than me. I played with a younger brother who, as far as I know at least, didn't become famous. When I heard they were killed, I was at work at "Shear Pleasure" a "beauty" salon on Grand Avenue in Oakland, California. I was smoking a Marlboro menthol and washing tint bottles.

Here's freedom in a different twist
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
I hear the train a comin' It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns." But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me...
Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...

The late, great Woody Gutherie wrote the classic "This Land is Your Land". His more political version was not adopted by the Federal Government. The songs lost verse is below surrounded by ***'s. It is on the album "A Legendary Performer".
This land is your land and this land is my land From California to the New York island From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I Saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts All around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me
*** There was a big, high wall there that tried to stop me The sign was painted it said Private Property But on the backside it didn't say nothing This land was made for you and me ***
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me
This land is your land and this land is my land From California to the New York island The redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me
I'm the one receiving the pain from you You would make these lies I would take them true You're self-existing No chance of listening Close your eyes, I will help you pray
Listen to God and tell me what he said and what he says
I'm the one receiving the pain from you Break me down, so shove me in a shoe You put it on and walk on me all day Me it wouldn't surprise It's something you would do I watch you
I am the ground and the dirt Walk on me Face of the earth
