on that rocking horse saddle

on that rocking horse saddle

 

 

like morphing from rock to country

i inverted pavement

into a save meant to break my city soul

down to earthen roots

under open skies

 

and tree lined hearts

shading the centrifugal force

that kept me going in concrete circles

with scraped knees and ruined jeans

 

the patches grew like acorns

from the woods that sang songs to me

with a little more twang

but a whole lot more bang

 

for my rural buck.

you went from city boy to country boy both in life style and in music... I kinda did the opposite from a rura; setting to city, then bigger city then metropolis but while I never really got my jeans dirty with country, I never did lose my concrete soul and R&B....

really neat how our lives change and sometimes so does our tastes in music as well...

actually i just expanded, Curt....i like Cam but i am a Rocker at heart...still love hendrix, and led zeppelin...AC/DC and such...also still big on the old 50's Rockabilly, Doo-Wop and British Invasion...

but even when we were in NY i loved the country...all those summers up in Vermon

thank you for relating in the opposite way...i like that.
