Such Is Life

...in friendly Stayner

 

falling falling...

wall of water, gently flow

to the place, i love to go

watkins glen, a gorge so steep

in a tent, i do not sleep

friends and laughter, all around

walmart stop, neat things we found

see you again, next year or two

go with us, i wonder who

Alan, you were awesome...

He's just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
He's not a walk behinder
He's a new note finder
His name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So he started drinking and took somethings
That messed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was born in the spot light not too much left inside
She changed all that one night
When she sang him this song

Hey baby I love you
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me that
You're some kind of macho man
You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light down on the blues man

He got so sick of speeding all things
They said he was needing if he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads
He got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load down off of that blues man

And he sang
Hey baby I love you to
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band
I'm over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

I'm over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man.

Going to see AJ tonight...

I have a disposable camera tucked away in my purse and with this single ticket to Alan Jackson's show at Casino Rama tonight (thank you eBay), I'm gonna take pictures regardless of the rules.  Here I am, seen above with my fancy poster board that took me hours to create.  I should have been one of the 5 winners for Alan Jackson tickets, but I guess my sign wasn't good enough for the radio station's judges.  I was good enough to win my picture on KICX FM's website though...  CLICK HERE. 

Why Alan is playing at a place that only holds 5000 people, when he could sell out the Air Canada Centre in a heartbeat, is simply beyond me.  Although, I am very grateful to be blessed with the opportunity to see him at such an intimate setting tonight and I can't wait to go.
