Kings of Leon - Manhattan live

Well
I could dance all night
And some of the day
That's how I play
That's how I play

I say who are you
No matter who you are
So you dance all night
And you dance all day

I say
I say

Gonna build a fire
Gonna smoke it up
Gonna sip this wine
And pass the cup

These avenues and
these reseviors
We gonna show this town
How to kiss these stars

I say
I say

You've come to kill
Gonna spend it high
Your parents grieve
I know they are right

And then talking to you
Well they calm you down
So it's all for you
who let you down

I say
I say
I say
I say

Just wanna take you hand
I'm gonna drive you home
Just gonna keep on
Keep on, keep on
And you gonna have a rest

George Strait - Amarillo By Morning

"Amarillo By Morning"

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that I've got is just what I've got on. When that sun is high in that Texas sky I'll be bucking it to county fair. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe. Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way. Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that I've got is just what I've got on. I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine. I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

I get it, too many places. You just wanted one. Okay, how about “Abilene” by George Hamilton IV

[Old Sarge]

My new stepdaughters texted me touching messages for Fathers Day (they’re visiting family up in Panama City this week). Totally unexpected, and sweet.

Our beach plans fell through, so The Bride and I went window shopping, bought a few DVD’s and had a movie fest tonight.

Good morning fatima and (((HUGS))). Yes, I have a part time job with our POA as a park ranger. Some day shifts and some are night shifts. Weekend shifts run until 1230 AM.

Last year, Ben E. King came to the local Indian casino and we went to hear him. He doesn’t exactly sound the same, but it was fun. My husband still had the 45 of Spanish Harlem and I took with me and had him sign it. The look on his face was priceless.

I should have posted, “Spanish Harlem” as a song about a city.

Now that I read the category completely, I have to add: Riding on the City of New Orleans, by Arlo Guthrie.

Great song. Made famous at Newport by Arlo Guthrie but written by Chicago's own genius, Steve Goodman, a good friend of John Prine who died too young.

You may also remember Goodman as one of the co-authors of "You Never Even Call Me By My Name."

[Yogafist]

Interesting, thanks for the info.
