From a idea born in the mind of Greg Connor, who wrote half the words. I supplied the tune,at his behest. Perhaps someday he will take it up and add his accents to it.

Hi, Terry. Once while driving south out of Seattle, I passed myself heading north. I didnt look too well rested. Weeks later I recieved two parking tickets. One in Portland the other in San Diego. Both tickets 2 1/2 hours apart...both the same date.......Hummmm Love this tune well wrought
My motto is INWARD THRU THE FOG. One day about a month ago, Laura 'Taylor' Whitfield told me I should, "write that song." Thinking back on a fog-bound night in California, I wrote it. Norman Pilcher, a friend from Texas, and I were headed north…

Lyrics:
Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
When you come to the end of the road
and all of the signs just say "No"
You never say, "Quit"
Cause that's not your bit
You're not a pup
You never give up...
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
If someone can do some Bodhran drum in the final mix it would add a lot. Rick's songs always had the beat and place for one in them. Great job Greg. Great lyrics Mr. Mann

This is a story about my friend with impure thoughts of stealing Lilly Pads for his carp pond in the back yard.
I guess it all started, Out in the dark
I was stealing lily pads, From the local…

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM by the Everly Brothers
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream…
EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?
- Unless we govern for…

APATHY AND GREED
Apathy and greed is in the human seed

How we live and play to get us through the day
Til we hear the bell that summons…
My version of a Neil Young song.
"Rockin' In The Free World"
There's colors on the street -- Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet -- People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot…
One day as I was turning into my driveway I saw Rita on her porch. She's a lot like me.

Comments on terrysongs's stuff

Love an ole fav. song
nice old time sound
Nice reflective song.
Good old time favorite
Let's hope it doesn't come to this. I really enjoyed the sound effects.
Great terry i was right there! You have a way to get me! thanks for the smile
Two of my favorites working together, This is Nirvana

Good Story!
The Full Moon affects me too! I enjoyed your lyrics here.
Great tune , takes me back to Woody G. style.
You make a good point. I always knew that you were getting twice the pleasure out of life. Greg and I both like it. Greg

Boy Terry, I left two comments so far and neither has shown up. Let's hope this one does. You fit these blues songs! It's like calling from home!
Soundin like Mississippi Fred McDowelll on this one.
The slide should make it a great tune Steve, I heard someone do it slower and with mud bottom slide,it was cool
Hi, Terry. Well done. A tune I am going to learn today. I hope it will be cool on slide
Nice romantic song Terry . . . You old Softy!
I like the harmonica! Good Lyrics, especially when you get "kissed on the mouth by a wave". Now that is imagery I'm in the mood for traveling too.

Still wish you were over with us on facebook.
Good to hear from you again Pete.
Ah yes the sweetness of those old California summer days.

Y-all got my love on this effort guys, I'm impressed and delighted. When and if I'll be happy to do it again.

Honker tonker, Greg,I like it.
