 "Thirsty Boots" by Phil Ochs  also played by the late great John Denver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNt3bDlNU5o I think that Mr. John Denver has the best voice  and does the absolute best job by far  playing this song...  Eric Anderson has some pretty nice solo covers of this tune also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g70zT3lXPZc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlAeOAEkNWA and also here is one with Judy Collins . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci5kU1g8Q0U You've long been on the open road you've been sleepin' in the rain From dirty words and muddy cells your clothes are soiled and stained But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane So only stop and rest yourself  and you'll be off again Oh take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary  from a dusty mile  And maybe I can make you laugh  And maybe I can try  Lookin' for the evenin'  And the mornin' in your eyes Then tell me of the ones you saw As far as you could see Across the plains from field to town Marchin' to be free And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree Like laughing children one by one They look like you and me So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trial From dancing cliff edge shattered sills to slander shackled jails Where the voices drift up from below as walls are bein' scaled Yes all of this and more my friend your song shall not be failed Oh take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary, from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh, and maybe I can try Just lookin for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes. |

Showing some love and support for our troops! I am not going to forget to vote on Nov 4! absolutely /// i don't blame you and as a matter of fact.... i am not voting either  i don't want to contribute anything  to a very corrupt  phoney , fraudulent greed & power ~ driven money ~ hungry ~ self centered joke of a political system only it is a very non ~ laughing matter  the elaborate webs that people weave  they talk all of this fancy talk but when they get in office they sure don't walk the walk and i see this happen all the time |

This is a real sweet one... and one of my all time favorites of all of their songs Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks & Lindsay Buckingham Crystal studio version with sweet photographs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byw9AdGGh0g and then there is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvLRAciJ8AQ&feature=related and a live audio version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_62QGLjNdM&feature=related & this is extra special really nice, too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoTqGzs7HLU&feature=related "do you always trust your first initial feeling special knowledge holds truth...bears believing i turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove like the love that had finally, finally found me CHORUS: then i knew in the crystalline knowledge of you drove me through the mountains through the crystal like and clear water fountain drove me like a magnet to the sea to the sea how the faces of love have changed, i'm turning the pages and i have changed, oh but you, you remain ageless " (repeat chorus) |

I have a new soldier overseas... We met here, and he got deployed before I even knew it! I had called him up one day and he didn't answer, so I sent him a quick email and that is when I found the news that he was already on his way to Kuwait to await shipment to Iraq.
If anyone wishes to send him a letter or anything at all, he's a real doll. One of my boys from Kansas, my beautiful friends that wouldn't even hurt a fly, off to fight a war they didn't start, but have to finish. I am proud of my boys. I am proud of all the military. You guys kick a$$ and I love each and every one of you! |

"When I'm Gone " by < Three Doors Down > There's another world inside of me that you may never see. There's secrets in this life that I can hide. But somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find. Maybe it's too far away...yeah Or maybe I'm just blind Maybe I'm just blind (Chorus) So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong, hold me when I'm scared, and love me when I'm gone. Everything I am, and everything in me wants to be the one you wanted me to be. I'll never let you down, and even if I could I'd give up everything if only for your good. So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong. Hold me when I'm scared, I won't always be there, so love me when I'm gone. Love me when I'm gone. And your education x-ray cannot see under my skin. I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends. Roaming through this darkness, I'm alive, but I'm alone. And part of me is fighting this, but part of me is gone. (Chorus) So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong, hold me when I'm scared, and love me when I'm gone. Everything I am, and everything in me wants to be the one you wanted me to be. I'll never let you down, and even if I could I'd give up everything if only for your good. So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong. Hold me when I'm scared, I won't always be here, and love me when I'm gone.  I LOVE that song!!

The House You Live In by Gordon Lightfoot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mUAazM4FdI&feature=related Go first in the world, go forth with your fears Remember a price must be paid Be always too soon, be never too fast At the time when all bets must be laid Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children Remember the woman who waits And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail Beware of the dangers below And the song that you sing should not be too sad And be sure not to sing it too slow Be calm in the face of all common disgraces And know what they're doin' it for And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your door When you're out on the road and feelin' quite lost Consider the burden of fame And he who is wise will not criticize When other men fail at the game Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places Be careful while bending the law And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your door When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal Decide what it is that you need Is it money or love, is it learnin' to live Or is it the mouth you must feed Be known as a man who will always be candid On questions that do not relate And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-otk4v9aRs4&feature=related in the early mornin rain... by gordon lightfoot In the early morning rain With a dollar in my hand With an achin in my heart And my pockets full of sand Im a long way from home And I miss my loved ones so In the early morning rain With no place to go Out on runway number nine Big seven-o-seven set to go But Im stuck here in the grass Where the cold wind blows Now the liquor tasted good And the women all were fast Well there she goes my friend Well shes rollin down at last Hear the mighty engines roar See the silver bird on high Shes away and westward bound Far above the clouds shell fly Where the mornin rain dont fall And the sun always shines Shell be flyin oer my home In about three hours time This old airports got me down Its no earthly good to me cause Im stuck here on the ground As cold and drunk as I can be You cant jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So Id best be on my way In the early morning rain You cant jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So Id best be on my way In the early morning rain |

This is a really beautiful song... a lovely melody & pretty verses to calm & soothe <<< Urge For Going >>> by Joni Mitchell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3EofN3Flag&feature=related this cover version done by Mr. Tom Rush http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3isWmJAlfk I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down When the sun turns traitor cold and all the trees are shivering in a naked row I get the urge for going but I never seem to go I get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in I had me a man in summertime He had summer-colored skin And not another girl in town My darling's heart could win But when the leaves fell on the ground, and Bully winds came around, pushed them face down in the snow He got the urge for going And I had to let him go He got the urge for going When the meadow grass was turning brown Summertime was falling down and winter was closing in Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout And all that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out See the geese in chevron flight flapping and a-racing on before the snow They've got the urge for going, and they've got the wings so they can go They get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in I'll ply the fire with kindling now, I'll pull the blankets up to my chin I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in I'd like to call back summertime and have her stay for just another month or so But she's got the urge for going and I guess she'll have to go She gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown And all her empire's falling down B A B And I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town B A B It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down E D When the sun turns traitor cold E D F# And shivering trees are standing in a naked row B A B I get the urge for going but I never seem to go A E B A E B And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown A E B A B Summertime is falling down winter's closing in B A B I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin B A B And not another man in town my darling's heart could win E D But when the leaves fell trembling down E D F# And bully winds did rub their face down in the snow B A B She got the urge for going I had to let her go A E B A E B She got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown A E B A B And summertime was falling down and winters closing in B A B Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout B A B All that stays is dying all that lives is getting out E D See the geese in chevron flight E D F# Flapping and a-racin on before the snow B A B Got the urge for going they've got the wings to go B A E B A E B And they get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown A E B A B Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in B A B I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin B A B I'll lock the vagrant winter out I'll bolt my wandering in E D I'd like to call back summertime E D F# And have her stay for just another month or so B A B But she's got the urge for going I guess she'll have to go B A E B A E B And she's gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown A E B A B All her empire's are falling down winter's closing in A E B A E B And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown A E B A B A B A B And summertime is falling down |
