That first post features Morgana, Chris' wife. Not a lot of folks know she's one of the greatest women singers in Nashville, a session star. She sang on one of my favorite Guy Clark songs, "Magdalene". Which reminded me...
See if this doesn't bring a tear or two. Hadn't seen this before, one of my favorite songs of his, and there are gobs of them.
I beg now don't you—try to escape I plead now don't you—remove the tape And i implore you—abandon hope And please don't losin'—or untie no ropes All I ever wanted was to be Somewhere where, where I could Hear you scream Scream shout Come on now, scream for me baby Scream shout Now you know I drive a bitch crazy Scream shout Let me give ya little choke and throttle Scream shout Start your day at the bottom of a bottle Please now won't you—try to refrain And know i want you—to feel my pain I beg this of you—no don't you leave I ask this of you—please do believe All I ever wanted was to be Somewhere where, where I could Hear you scream Scream shout Come on now, scream for me baby Scream shout Now you know I drive a bitch crazy Scream shout Let me give ya little choke and throttle Scream shout Start your day at the bottom of a bottle Don't shut your mouth Don't bite your lip Don't hold your tongue Just lose your grip And won't you please, yes by all means... Scream
Me thinks some of us don’t know what constitutes a love song.
Here’s a refresher.
Verse 1] There's a storm across the valley Clouds are rolling in The afternoon is heavy On your shoulders There's a truck out on the four lane A mile or more away And the whining of his wheels Just makes it colder
[Verse 2] He's an hour away from riding On your prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road Are barely gone There's a fire softly burning Supper's on the stove It's the light in your eyes That makes him warm
[Chorus] Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
[Verse 3] There's all the news to tell him How'd you spend your time What's the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday Sunshine made her cry You felt the baby move just yesterday
[Chorus] Hey, it's good to be back home again, yes it is Sometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
[Bridge] And all the time that I can lay this tired, old body down To feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for The love that lights my way The happiness that living with you brings me
[Verse 4] It's the sweetest thing I know of Just spending time with you It's the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove The light in your eyes that makes me warm
[Chorus] Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
Hey, it's good to be back home again, oh it is Sometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Hey, it's good to be back home again I said hey, it's good to be back home again
