***********stranger in a strange land********
sorta like Pete. Title then repeat.

How many days has it been since I was born
How many more before I die?
Do I know of any ways that I can make it last?
Do I only know how to make you cry?

When the baby looks around him
It's such a thing to see
To share the simply secret
With wise men. . . . <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

Stranger in a strange land Yes
Stranger in a strange land.
Tell me why?.....<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/confused.gif" width=15 height=22>

Words & music Leon

On a long a lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moan out it's one lone song
You can think about your woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When your riding 16 hrs. and there's nothin much to do

And you don't feel much like ridin, ya just wish the trip was thru!
Say here I am on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playin star again
There I go, turn the page

Well you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
You feel the eyes upon you, as your shaking off the cold
You pretend it does not bother you, but you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear em talk, other times you can
All the same ol cliches, "Is that a woman or a man"?
And you always see my number, you don't dare make a stand

Here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage
Here I go playin the star again
There I go turn the page

Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away
Every once of energy you try to give away
As the sweat poors out your body like the music that you play

Later in the evening as you ly awake in bed
With the echoe's from the amplifyers ringing in your head
You smoke the days last ciggarete remembering what she said?

CHORUS

BOB S.

Dedicated to Setlist Central

4 strong winds that blow lonely
7 seas that run high
All those things that won't change
Come what may?

But if the good times are all gone
I guess it's time for moving on
I'll look forward if your ever back this way.

We could go up to Alberta when things are lookin good
I've got some friends that I could go a workin for
But by then it would be winter
Not allot for you to do
And the wind sure blows heavey way out there!

*Ian

I used to think that Four Strong Winds was a Neil Young tune, until I heard the Bobby Bare version. Of course, now I know it was written by Ian Tyson, of Ian & Sylvia fame. A great song!

Z-man. Have you ever heard 'Sara & Johnnys' rendition???? 4SW?

It blows NEIL away.

I like folk songs that enhance detail. Like an old Woody song, they turn it into a story about (what it is I guess).....Like maybe we should just get for a season? but all the wrong reasons are just to unlikely.

Besides who the hell likes cold wind anyhow? Send me to the Islands, anywhere but Alberta Canada. Well anywhere but Canada (Period)LOL

My brother lives in Montreal, and I tease him all the time, that FLA would be much warmer this time of yr. He doesn't find me funny, but agrees, Fla is definately warmer than the St. Lawrence River in January>>><img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/eek.gif" width=15 height=15>

Here's another one for ya Z. I had always thought that John Cash wrote 'A boy named Sue' (actually penned by Shel Silverstien)

***He didn't want to do the song. Upon his wife's advice (June Carter) he reluctantly sang it live. Litterally reading the verses from a hand scribbled paper. I guess when it stayed at #1 (country charts) he started likeing the thing. NTM the gut reaction to his first doing the song. Well it's easy to see something work. Not always so easy when it doesn't!

Here's raising my glass to Johnny Cash!!! (one of my many Hero's)<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

I can think of stranger cover songs, but this mornings cob-webs are intence.

Good to see you posting Z! How's the Ski crowd doing this yr???? Hope all is well!!!

RB
