country music & i
we seem ta' see eye to eye
country music & me
we just be
we
about the same
that's the name of the game
country music and me
see...

bedrooms & barstools
a place for old fools
dancin' & prancin'
never glancin' back
takin' their chancin'
down an old railroad track

lost loves & new loves
and all of the aboves
just play me a song
'bout all that's gone wrong

yeah, an ex-wife or two
yeah, that'll do
just a song or two's
just the country blues

"i cheated on her...
she cheated on me...
we went to far
for us to be we"

pour me another
my country brother
ain't no other
way to be.

we be old rock-n-rollers
strollers
thru time
each seekin' his or her
own rhytmn & rhyme

wishin' we were
a country song
livin' as we do
doin' it all wrong
still just singin'
what we do

our own country song
still just wingin'
as we go along
day to day
still tryin' to play
that same old country song

still doin' it all wrong

still tryin' ta' find
our own country song
from the Life we left behind
still tryin' to find
where we belong

Now this is really excellent, Steve, my friend, I just about thought of all the country songs I ever heard, not that I listen too often, but this says all of them and then some...

keep strummin' on them strings, poet and songwriter Steve,
never can tell where it will get you,
maybe someday you will get rich and from this den, leave,
but for ever and always I will have had the honor,
to have known a friend my the name of Steve...
Peace and Happy 4th, Ed & rufuz

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
