Livin on the road my friend
Was gonna make us free and clean
Now you wear you skin like iron
Your breath's as hard as kerosene

You weren't your Mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She begain to cry as you said good-bye
And sank into your dreams

Poncho was a bandit boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his guns outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel

Lefty he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to do
The dust that poncho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid poor Poncho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
Aint nobody knows

The poets tell how Poncho fell
And Lefty's sleepin in a cheap hotel
The deserts quiet, and Clevelands cold
And then the story ends we're told

Poncho needs your prayers it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growin old

And, all the federale's say
They coulda had him anyday
They only let him slip away
Outta kindness, I suppose

A few grey federales say
They coulda had him any day
They only let him slip away
Outta kindness I suppose...

I don't wanna work, just wanna bang on my drum all day.

And I thought my spelling was wrong... It's Rundgren

like a tv newspaper guy talkin bout Arlo's son's banc Phaier or something. but to his credit, he may have been brittish....


This for all you Lion King People out there

Here's a good Todd Rundgren song I always liked. It certainly applys to current events, both in the world at large and here on arlonet.

Didn't mean to make you sad Cheryl... As Arlo says, "Sad songs are good" ( paraphrasing)

Sincerely/Rb

The last Ride

It's the last ride, our little game is over
It's the last ride, it's time to take you home
And we can't cry
Cause we seen it coming
No use, running, take it, Slower!!!!


It's a dangerous drive, I'm afraid to arrive
But I strive to survive, more a fool than alive
I thought I knew just everything
I had it made and I could coast
But I threw away love, when I needed it most
It's the last ride, our little game is over
It's the last ride, time to take me home

And I can't cry, as I seen it comin
No use running, take it slow take it slower

When the world rolls around, and turns thru the town
And depression drips down, and glazes the ground
Horizons east, the skyline west
The moon the sun and all the rest
The father, son, and holy ghost
They all turned away love when they needed most

It's the last ride, time to take me home
And they can't cry cause they seen it coming

It's time to to take me home....

(Sweet guitar riff )

Last ride

here's an ol Lead Belly Song I can relate too

qis: you sure came to the right place


I have storys. 5 decades of them. Some of them happy. some of them sad. some of them, achey, some of them, euphoric. I've seen people die. I've seen babys born. I've lived, and I've loved. I've loved and I've lost. I usually go against the grain.

you seem interesting. does that come with the territory?

ntm: don't mind my 12th grade spelling
