I’ve traded love for pennies, | |
Sold my soul for less | |
Lost my ideals | |
In that long tunnel of time | |
I’ve turned inside out | |
And around about | |
And back and then | |
Found myself | |
Right back | |
Where I started again | |

I learn the hard way | |

When Breaking Up Is Hard To Do…
Posted in General Comments, Lyrics, Poetry, tagged Bob Dylan, Breaking Up, It Ain't Me Babe, Jim Croce, Lover's Cross, Lyrics, Poetry on August 26, 2010| Leave a Comment »
I was watching the morning news shows last week and it seems there are some mighty gutless folks out there who text message their boyfriend / girlfriend to break up because they just can’t face the other person!! | |
Let me make it easier on you… Send them one of these two songs: “It Ain’t Me, Babe” or “Lover’s Cross“. (The links are to the lyrics, not to the songs. Go look ’em up yourself!) | |
By the way, I still think you’re gutless to not face them, but at least this has got a little more flair! | |

Still Learnin’ Hard…
Posted in Lyrics, Philosophy, Poetry, tagged Jim Croce, Lyrics, Philosophy, Poetry, The Hard Way Every Time on July 4, 2010| 1 Comment »
Today I added my first lyrics page. It’s the song: “Learned the Hard Way Every Time“, written by Jim Croce. I don’t remember the first time I heard the song. It was probably back when I was stationed at Fort Lewis in Washington state (just outside of Seattle). | |
I’ve probably listened to this song a thousand times (that’s “listened to”, not heard). It still reaches into my soul. I’m not sure you can say much more about a song (or poem). I’ve always felt it was a great tragedy Jim Croce died so young. All three of his main albums were great! To me, the night of his plane crash, was the second “night the music died”. | |
