Excellent, kid.
Y'know, I've thought about suggesting another Billy Joel song for you to look at; except, the time was never just *right*.
Still isn't, too.

But lookit; here's a song from the Marshall Tucker album called, "Carolina Dreams."
The song's called, "Never Trust A Stranger" & is essentially about the sage words an old Sheriff gives to a young kid while they're tracking a really bad-assed outlaw on horseback.
This album was unavailable when was choosing which ones to send you, or else, you'd have this one in your collection.
Anyway, enough blather...give it a listen & know the accompanying music is simply chocolate to one's ears.

-NEVER TRUST A STRANGER- Toy Caldwell

We were ridin' through the flatlands
We were searchin' for two prisoners who'd just broke jail
Tall one & a lean one
Rode a chestnut stallion
And the word was from the main man
He was mean as hell

An outlaw is a man who never understands
A word called danger
He learns to shoot & ride as a child
And never trust a stranger
And he's always called a better man

We chased him to the border
All the way to El Paso
The ride was long, the ride was hard
But the sheriff said, "We can't let him go"
He said, "Let me tell you somethin', I been trackin' for a long time
They never trust a stranger and they take care of their own

An outlaw is a man who never understands
A word called danger
He learns to shoot & ride as a child
And never trust a stranger
And he's always called a better man

Today's man is an outlaw
On that long road to freedom
You work him hard, you take his pride
And then you try to cheat him
Then one day you figure out, it's a long, long story
An outlaw is a man that takes care of his own

An outlaw is a man who never understands
A word called danger
He learns to shoot & ride as a child
And never trust a stranger
And he's always called a better man

Guess whose the sheriff in this song, kiddo?

...yea; I kinda thought you needed a flagship song for yourself; as ya chase down that crooked bastard.

;^)

America will not regain its swagger until Americans hold Clinton accountable for his crimes...Felons do not walk free in a Justice System of Laws Not Men!! How can we make Clinton/DemonRAT criminality and Treason an issue in the upcoming campaigns?! How can we shame Ashcroft and the Justice Department into doing what it ought to be doing vis a vis the Corruption of the previous Administration?! How can we ignite the grass roots? I'm sick of always being on the defensive...how can we get the good guys to fight the good fight, instead of compromising away the Principles that made this Country the greatest ever to grace this Earth?! What's it gonna take to make Dubyuh mad enough at the low-life Rats to take off the kid gloves and come out swingin'?! If he would, the good folks in this Country would rally to his Cause...we can't help but look like hypocrits when we castigate other Countries for their Corrupt Elitist Governments whilst the Justice Departments of both DemonRAT and now Republican Administrations appear willing to allow the Clinton Administration--including the EX-Rapist-in-Chief and the Junior Senator from New York--to get off scot-free when there is ample evidence of multiple felonies, including Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, Massive Campaign Finance Abuse, Rape, Bribery, Dereliction of Duty, and yes, TREASON?!!

Clinton Corruption must be made an issue in the upcoming campaigns cause he ain't going away until we put him away!!

RE-IMPEACH. CONVICT. DETHRONE.
DISBAR. DE-PENSION. DE-LEGITIMIZE.
INDICT. CONVICT. IMPRISON. DISCARD KEY.
