Sometimes more than others You see who and what and where you are I'm a one-man band with no immediate plans Tonight I just need my guitar

Joined: January 2012 Posts: 53 Location: NW Montucky | All songs from my teen years..... I got my first real 6 string Bought it at the 5 and dime Played it 'til my fingers bled It was the summer of '69 This one I believe used an Ovation 12 string for the opening And I walk these streets A loaded 6 string on my back I play for keeps 'Cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere still I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces And I've rocked them all just a single line from this one...it always stuck out to me amidst the rest of the song for some reason There's blood on my hand, and my Les Paul's beat... | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 2120 Location: Chicago | "Ripple" lyrics by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia. A favorite, mysterious Dead tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFsbAuX9P4w If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp [guitar?] unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music Would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air | ||

Cost me ninety dollars, but she's worth much more by far, 'cause I've never had a better friend than that old beat-up guitar.
Didn't look like too much. Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe. And a lady never faired as well, who'd traveled through so much.
