"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Refrain
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I…

Life keeps trans-versing time, the things lost,the things to be found, and the moment we live in , Don't set out the dance, or decide not to go. Where ever you are be there.
AT THE RISK OF BEING ALL WET> Out on the perilous deep
Where danger silently creeps
And storm so violently sweep
You're drifting too far from the shore.
Chorus
Drifting too far from the shore
You're drifting too…

Good One Terry!
Fresh and upbeat! Very nice listening.
Lost At Sea . . . *"Good Gawd"* . . . I'm going sailing this afternoon. Let's hope *Big Legged Woman* doesn't make us list to starboard or port.
Another old favorite of mine. Well sung my friend.
This is beautiful.
That really sounds goood. "Good Gawd" You are really something!
Great song! *"Serving coffee while men grab her behind"* You gotta love it when you hear that in a song! . . . . . & 44DD
Just the right amount of insanity. It makes me want to call someone.
That was fun! I pulled out the old harmonica and played along.
Very pretty. I like the mandolin, and the refrain.
Another good old song.
You make it sound so easy. Well done.
Beautiful. I can see why your Aunt is proud of you!
This is one of my favorite songs.
This has, at least for me, an etherial quality to it. It's very interiging.
Very touching tribute and a great idea including the family.
Sad song. Congratulations on your 38 years. Just curious how many years you behaved yourself and how many you didn't.
This is a spine tingler. So now I have to ask . . . how does this relate to your family history?
Great Family Effort. I like the way it bounces along.
Sad song
