I’m Goin’ Down


This one's right up your alley, TJ:


Mother, Mother Ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard is, my occupation's just not around.

Jimmy Buffett, A Pirate Looks at 40

"Did you see any action? Did you make any friends?
Would you like some affection? Before I leave again.

I've been walking behind you, since you've been able to see.
There's never been any reason, for you to think about me.

Did you have any bad dreams, did you break any glass?
Would you be my companion, is there even a chance?"

There's never been any reason,

You must be older than you look TJ,

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine

Is that the name of the song?

Steve Earle, Copperhead Road

cd, I cannot believe you got the Head East! You were four when it came out!

OK, here's another that will date me...

"I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole,
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man,
I've gotta hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'm tired of layin' back and hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, Whoo! And I'll be city bound, Yeah!"

It's in my dad's collection, that's why I say that about you, hehe.

cd_in_SeaTac once bubbled...
You must be older than you look TJ,

Yes, I am! (And I don't act my age, either!)

Two days with no activity, so I'm going to hijack this thread with a new challenge:


Put your dreams away
And read your box of Cheerios
And powder-puff that pretty nose
And go out and find your man where the wild wind blows.


We need the name of the song and the name of the artist.
