From the wonderful Jimmy Carter years...Remember this Crystal Gayle song?

Ready For The Times To Get Better

I’ve got to tell you I’ve been wrecking my brain
Hopin´ to find a way out
I’ve had enough of this continual rain
Changes are comin´, no doubt

It’s been a too long time
With no peace of mind
And I’m ready for the times to get better

You seem to want from me what I can not give
I feel so lonesome at times
I have a dream that I wish I could live
It’s burning holes in my mind

It’s been a too long time
With no peace of mind
And I’m ready for the times to get better

My favorite from those years:

Title: PROMISE THE WIND
Songwriter: John Stewart
Lyrics:

He was born again in the Georgia wind
The eldest son of Miss Lillian
He was born to win with his Georgia grin
You just sell ‘em the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell ‘em the Lord and you promise the wind

And he said “I’m the one” in the Georgia sun
“Oh, Georgia dirt farmers, there’s work to be done”
He said “Rosalynn, keep on smiling
You just sell ‘em the Lord and you promise the wind”
Sell ‘em the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell ‘em the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell ‘em the Lord and you promise the wind

And across the fields of Plains
Good old boys walking home in the rain
And there’s redneck Billy and beer
Don’t look like something’s going on here
But there’s a man there out to win
Banking on his Georgia grin
Oh, it’s so easy to sucker us in
Sell us the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell us the Lord and you promise the wind

He was born again in the Georgia wind
The eldest son of Miss Lillian
He was born to win with his Georgia grin
You just sell us the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell us the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell us the Lord and you promise the wind
Sell us the Lord and you promise the wind

Ahh.. Crystal Gayle.. that legendarily long flowing hair and those striking blue eyes... in her day, a truly gorgeous woman.

And a good American, too.
