Favourite Hornsby lyric?

First post here, so here we go!

I’m stuck between three:

As I’m staring into the twilight
wishing I could find someone tonight
I know she’s out there somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer
On the western skyline

And, more recently from the white collar scandals (Enron, MCI, etc.):

Far away the men too busy getting rich to care
Closetheir eyes and let it all out into the air
Hoping nobody else would care

Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
See what’s going on in the world around you

And, even more recently, with global warming, commercial construction, and debate/controversy over the environment:

Look out, look out for the big boys
Telling you everything they’re gonna do
Look out, look out for the fat cat builder man
Turning this into a wasteland
Look out, look out for the back room boys that say
The smoke is gonna blow away
Look out, look out for the men who say it’s okay
Sitting in a building far away

Who’d ever think that songs written just about 20 years ago would still have meaning today, eh?

BL.

I’ve stared down the devil and had to look away
Called out to the angels, but no one ever came……

“…some rise by * WRONG*
and some by virtue fall,
but those in judgement
are guilitiest of all…”

*Mea Culpa, BIBs and SIBs*

I, too, checked the lyrics ’cause I didn’t remember the word/s…

Is 3 a crowd? That was on my list too!
I decided not to post it to see if anyone else did.
Thanks for taking care of it, Vic and Lola!

Some more great thoughts from a Road Scholar(s)! ❗

Location of the “Roadside Shack”?

Miss Virginia Former,

I remember Bruce mentioning in an introduction to “Down The Road Tonight” (from one of the Daily Doses) that the pkace in the song was located in “James County.” The closeset place I could find with that name was James City County,VA, which Wikipedia says borders Williamsburg. I guess the guys had to cross the county line to have their fun.

What a clever call David!
In my mind, I could hear Bruce leading into “The Red Plains” cut from “Here Come the Noise Makers”.

Treah,
Williamsburg is the city that is within the county of James City County. FUBAR, I know, but that goes back to the 1600’s.

I was once able to track down the road and bridge where the picture on “Scenes From The Southside” was taken……simply beautiful!

Thanks for correcting my geographic igorance! 😳 That’s what I get for relying on Google and Wikipedia. There’s this old building downtown; I think they call it a “library.” Maybe I’ll try using it the next time I have a geographical question. That’s cool about the location for the picture on the album!

Here are a few of my favorites…

Sometimes I lead sometimes I follow
This time I’ll go where she wants me to go
She said maybe today maybe tomorrow
Go deep in the woods down the low valley road

When I was younger I saw things in black and white
Now all I see is a sad, hazy gray
Sometimes I see a narrow flash of light
Sometimes I look and you show me the way

I was always taught well, taught well
To be the strong one and keep it inside
But sometimes I sit beside the freeway
And howl out at the dark, dark sky
I might just have to go out and burn one
Have a drink or a few
Fade away in a cloudy haze of smoke
And give the old man’s best salute

Don’t light a match,don’t play with fire
Pull down easy on the gas lighter
There’s a shelter down at the veteran’s hall
Living in the shadow of the hot house ball

Temper’s hot,better pray for rain
Better watch out now for the gamma rays
Party time at the government gate

We bend and break, so fragile, it’s true
I say everything’ll be alright but I don’t have a clue
They say faith is a crutch, well whatever works for you
In a world where you never know
I’ll be there for you

Said I’m going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they’re out there somewhere

Sometimes you’ve just got to repeat yourself
Just to get your point across
