Whoa, gruesome. I was trying to interpret Blue Grass more figuratively...

What was her name I don’t recall
I met her down in Raleigh
I think it was the fall
So many years have drifted by
Has anybody found her
Did anybody cry
There was that girl in Tennessee
Just as pretty as can be
I said take a ride with me
I drove her up into the hills
We picked flowers by a stream
I bet she’s sleeping still
In Syracuse I met Michelle
She told me all about her Heaven
I taught her all about me Hell
There was that hitchhiker in Maine
I took her all apart
Then I stitched her back together again
I met a beauty in Quebec
As fragile as a doll
I snapped her pretty neck
I loved them each and every one
If only for a while
Still we had so much fun
My love brings heartache that’s for sure
But a life all by myself
Is too much to endure
This road I’m traveling has no end
Always looking for a friend
For just a little while
A little tender company
Someone to lay with me
And leave me with a smile
The sign says Richmond 30 miles
Just as good a town as any
I’ll be there in a while....

One of my favs. Brown Bird - Bilgewater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoqH9irCn3o It don’t matter if the cold wind blows I’m gonna wind up working in the thick of it sunshine through the rain and snow there’s an oily brine bilge water baptism waiting below that’s just the waves slamming against the topsides’ sound don’t let the ever rolling motion go and get you down don’t let it shake your steady thread cutting hand keep stealing ribbons from the steel and giving hell to every halyard you can in spite of all the wherewithal to fight it all I will face it all in spite of all the wherewithal to fight it all I’ll embrace it all when everyday’s like a war between the will to go on and a wish that the world would spiral into the sun turn your head toward the storm that’s surely coming along if the sun was always shining and our load always light we’d be shaking like a leaf with every God given night and we’d break under the weight of any pressure that was ever applied will you be ready when the straw boss calls? he’s got an ever loving bone to pick with one and all don’t let his condescension get you down just have the strength to know you’re wrong and when you’re right the strength to stand your ground in spite of all the wherewithal to fight it all I will face it all in spite of all the wherewithal to fight it all I’ll embrace it all when everyday is like a war you find no strength from your usual source there’s no peace, there’s no rest your fortitude is feeling put to the test when everyday is like a war between the will to go on and a wish that the world would spiral into the sun turn your head toward the storm that’s surely coming along if the sun was always shining and our load always light we’d be shaking like a leaf with every God given night and we’d break under the weight of any pain that ever came in this life
