'Taxi' by Harry Chapin

And she walked away in silence
It's strange how you never know
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for
Such a long, long time ago

You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
I took off for the sky

[luvie]

PERSONAL FAVORITES OF MINE
Brian Tyler~Yellowstone Theme

'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back

Thanks, Kathy. Best to you this Friday night! We’re getting some fine early summer weather here on the northern California Coast. I’m headed to our North Idaho place in three weeks.

'Convoy' by CW McCall

Well, we shot the line
We went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long haired Friends of Jesus
In a Chartreuse microbus

[Kathy in Alaska]

Funny tune...and I’ve heard this one before, long ago. Thanks, Songcraft. ((HUGS))

[T.B. Yoits]

'Green River' by CW McCall

And we died a thousand times in that forty miles of hell
The longest day of life we'd ever seen
But we lived to tell the story and we know the story well
The day we ran the rapids of the Green

[luvie]

PERSONAL FAVORITES OF MINE
Cat Power~New York

[T.B. Yoits]

'Dancing with Myself' by Billy Idol

Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

[Publius]

In 1826, Franz Schubert set some poems by the insane German poet Ernst Schulze. This particular poem is about a man riding his horse through the night on his way to his girlfriend and her cheating heart. Write English lyrics about a man on his Harley riding through the night on a two-lane blacktop, and you have a song for Bruce Springsteen. The piano accompaniment is pure rock and roll.

Schubert: "On the Bridge"

There’s no stopping them so it’s best to stay out of the way.
Things should be down to a dull roar tomorrow.
