If these guys are the good ones
I don’t want to know the bad,
You wonder how it happened
They just picked it up from dad,
Faded ole glory hanging like a rag
Defenders, defenders of the flag…..David Day

ParticipantHere’s the one I always revert back to..It seemed to always sound like the perfect beginning to a “C” verse in a Hornsby song.
“Standing on the shore…She looks to the west with a look of longing, where the grass seems greener”

Everytime I see her face
On the street in the hollow on the hill
Another time and another place
I feel her in my heart stillFebruary 12, 2007 at 3:35 am #27707PianoManKD

KeymasterWell I hear it’s better on the other side
They say you’ll never do it so don’t even try
Well you may be beaten down with your closed mind
But don’t try and make it mine…February 13, 2007 at 2:50 pm #27710David Day
ParticipantI’m living the good life

That’s funny! 😆
You said the first go round was just for fun and I should “play with my kudos”. So I took your advice! 😆
On the other hand, my kudos economic report was right on target. Wasn’t it?

ParticipantHey, David Day stole MY signature line
My second favorite lyric is:
“All these years I’ve been pushing so hard
Through high times and low times too
But if I stop now
How could I know what I could do?”Third favorite:
“Well, the heat makes you do things
You might just not do
In your right mind.”Favorite phrase
“…just lost in the view….”February 14, 2007 at 12:37 am #27714treah
ParticipantLyrics
There’s a place
A local roadside shack
A poor man’s Paris with parking in the backI said-Don’t tell me she don’t love me
The money’s just a mere formalityThey said-What they’re doing
Don’t mean nothing to you now
But someday it’ll mean everythingFebruary 14, 2007 at 1:33 am #27715David Day

ParticipantYes, but can you name the Bruce tunes I quoted????
I loved Jackie’s lyricc……….don’t you just want to sidle on over to W’burg and find that shack?????? I don’t know where that one is, but I DO know the location of the place mentioned in “Night on The Town”………….
Vic….. I’m still on hold about handling your balls……. you need to get back to me on that……
Gunky……. PLEASE tell me you are already making plans to tape the 2007 Asheville show. I am thinking of really coming up with a great “forum” party for that venue. Because, as we ALL know, I own the Biltmo’

ParticipantThis ain’t my style, this ain’t my home
I’m going where it’s safe to roam
Take me all the way back
To the wild frontier
Well I’m counting the miles
Seeing her smile in the wild frontierIt was great hearing this song after its long hiatus on Bruce’s tour
