East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
a’we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long why to go and a short time to get there
I’m east bound just watch ol’Bandit run
Keep your foot hard on the peddle…son, never mind them brakes
let it all hang out cause we’ve got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta,and there’s beer in Texarcana
and we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
a’we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I’m east bound just watch ol’Bandit run ……
Old Smokey’s got them ears on, he’s hot on your trail
and he ain’t gonna rest ’till you’re in jail
So you gotta dodge him…. you gotta duck him
You’ve gotta keep that diesel truckin….
just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
a’we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I’m east bound just watch ol’Bandit run

Sometimes I don’t have the strength to fight the fall.
Sometimes I’m tired and just drop the ball.
When the earth beneath my feet’s just shaky ground,
An’ when I’m scared I’m gonna let the whole world down.
You breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet.
Every time, you know exactly what I need.
An’ when I lose control,
You take the wheel an’ no-one knows:
Quietly you rescue me behind the scenes,
An’ let me be the hero.
Some people think I’m strong an’ calm an’ in control,
Like I’m the one who stands his ground when the thunder rolls.
If they knew my secret, if they only knew the truth,
I would’ve run a thousand times if it hadn’t been for you.
You breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet.
Every time, you know exactly what I need.
An’ when I lose control,
You take the wheel an’ no-one knows:
Quietly you rescue me behind the scenes,
An’ let me be the hero.
When I’m down on my knees,
Prayin’ to Heaven for some peace,
I’m always saved by the angel that God sent to me,
Right here next to me.
An’ you breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet.
Every time, you know exactly what I need.
An’ when I lose control,
You take the wheel an’ no-one knows:
Quietly you rescue me behind the scenes,
An’ let me be the hero.
yeah, you let me be the hero.
Oh, yeah.

It was a hundred and seven
We were headed to town
She had her sleeves rolled up
And the windows rolled down
That girl is a Cowboy
Robert Earl was singing out
The “Buckin’Song’
With every word that Keen was bringing
She was singing along
That girl is a cowboy
Sometimes the best of cowboys
Ain’t cowboys at all
She’s got my back
even when it’s against the wall
When I need a friend
She’s the guy I call
Cause sometimes the best cowboys
Ain’t cowboys at all
So I took her out to show her
How to rope and ride
I can’t believe that it was me
That wound up broke and tied
That girl is a cowboy
So that night I decided
We should paint the town
I made it home though
I really don’t remember how
That girl is a cowboy
Sometimes the best of cowboys
Ain’t cowboys at all
She’s got my back
even when it’s against the wall
When I need a friend
She’s the guy I call
Cause sometimes the best cowboys
Ain’t cowboys at all
There’s just something that a cowgirl has
Ain’t no cowboys got
Man she’s something when she’s one of the boys
But something else
anytime she’s not
Sometimes the best of cowboys
Ain’t cowboys at all
She’s got my back
even when it’s against the wall
When I need a friend
She’s the guy I call
Cause sometimes the best cowboys
Ain’t cowboys at all

you know, same ole shiz.
colby’s last day was thursday. neo started wednesday though, so hopefully in about a week things will be running pretty normally. there’s so much that needs to be done around the office… bleh.
i dont have alot to report these days. i goto work, come home to eat and sleep, then repeat. susan did get a great dane saturday. she’ll probably be upset i blogged about it first, but heh, she never blogs anyways. :-p
mandy is doing a talk tomorrow at her church. we did not talk about me going. i’ll be going to the church i went to last week again. it seemed like a good congregation. they have a strong young adult group. thats something i’ve been looking for.
bleh, it’s 1am. i’m going to bed.
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need… to forget

“Millions of people use the Internet to learn guitar, in one form or another. It appears the NMPA/MPA and their members do not want to support us and help us further our education. To you visitors from outside the USA or UK, can you find your favorite artists’ “official sheet music” at your local music store? Even in the United States and United Kingdom, we often can not. The NMPA/MPA have a choice to make: either they support us as aspiring guitarists, or they choose to alienate their customer base. To date, not one sheet music publisher has contacted this website to either inquire as to our activities or to express interest in any type of dialogue or collaboration whatsoever. All we deserve is a cold, indirect, impersonal threat without any explanation? They should embrace new technologies or else become relics of the old economy. ”
Sincerely,
Rob Balch

surely the talented musicians and artists know what has become of their form of expression and dignity. i would be disgusted to know that someone who is making money from my performances, is using the money for such activities.
if the auto industry was like the music, you would not be able to change your own oil. you would not be able to keep up with the maintenance of your vehicle. that fancy in-dash mp3 player you added (because you like music), would be illegal. the $300 rims and $400 exhaust systems would be banned. you would not even be able to paint your car another color. jail time for something as simple as checking the air in your tires.
sounds ridiculous? it is.
