Train Song

Train Song
She asks:
Why can’t you sleep tonight,
What’s turning in your mind?
I wanna see the little things,
The ones you try to hide.

She says:
I’ll go get a bottle
And the cigarettes
Meet you on the side poarch
You’ll tell me what you will

And I Try
Oh, I try
But you’ll not get it
Until you’ve lost your mind

You hear:

Carters on the radio
Singin ‘bout his life
You don’t tap your foot at all
Don’t know what it’s about

You ask:

Why do they write trains songs
& pine for their ex-wives?
Why do they love old cars
& drink away their lives?

I couldn’t Try
Oh, Try
Sugar up your gas tank
Not till you’ve lost your Mind

I say:
I wanna tell you something
Bring you on inside
Show you some dirty flowers
Tell you all my lies

I want so much to try again
To faint this pugil stance.
If you pour another round
I might get the chance

And, I try
Oh, I try
But I just get it
When I loose my mind

Fast + Loose

I wanna wish you Happy Birthday Baby,
Not gonna see your face any more
Don’t need to hash out or settle the score
Let’s forget it happened

Can’t begin to draw it, Baby,
Elegant monster with nothing to loose
Author of this reptilian rouse
That nearly killed me

Can’t spend fast & loose with me anymore

Clutch your dearest wishes, Baby
Picked a name from a magic hat
You chose to abandon all that
Regrets can’t reside with me

You had a right to remain silent, Baby
Your remained silent to be rightSo as the signal fails and the light
Fades from the canyon floor

Can’t spend fast & loose with me anymore

Please leave me to sleep now, Baby
That’s where we meet since the coast
The lingering discourse with your ghost
And I have to speak both parts

If I ever get my head back, Baby
Maybe one day we’ll stand and chat
Ask if you recall this and that
As the only two survivors

Can’t spend fast & loose with me anymore

Always fun to log on to Stat-counter and see who's reading your blog. You start to wonder why some one in Philadlephia keeps logging on to your blog with no referring website just to see your misc. ramblings.

Top 3 curiousities:

1. Philadelphia, PA (11 visits)
2. Sylva, South Carolina (12 visits)
3. Santa Anna, CA (15 visits)

Who are you guys? (wink wink)

Also at long last - World, meet Pearl. Pearl, meet world. Good, Pearl.







This weeks song will come later tonight. The hammering and construction are blowing my ability to finish it, I didn't work on songs this weekend. I did paint a canvas and build a deck.

So Long as She Spells Bra With a D

Guy #1: She may be the stupidest girl ever.
Guy #2: I think she just pretends she is stupid.
Guy #1: Dude, she spelled Missouri with a Z, and Kansas with a U.
Guy #2: She does have a huge rack, though.
Guy #1: Tremendous!
