captain_philThis little ditty by Robert Earl Keen has been stuck in my head all
Travelin' Light
You've been standin' on the corner for a thousand nights
Ifs the slowest corner known to man
Watchin' strange faces passin' 'neath the lights
With a bottle wavin' in your hand
You got just enough money for some nothin' to go
It ain't exactly what you planned
So lonesome that you can't even say hello
And no one seems to understand
Chorus
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue
travelin' light
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through
You wandered away from your childhood home
Nobody cared to trace
the tracks you laid
You traveled by night
and you traveled alone
Came to rest at a penny arcade
Well, the last shots over
on a Saturday night You wake up in the beam
of a cop's flashlight
He asks you who you are as if you
knew or you cared
He asks you where you live
and you say nowhere
Chorus
I don't know where I got it
but, I got it the same
It's a feelin' that'll rip you apart
It follows me around
like a part of my name
Like I'm born with a time bomb
instead of a heart
Chorus
Work today wasn't too bad, we replaced a line going into a local hotel, I'll probably need deloused from just being on the hotel parking lot. Then it was off to WV to check the reverse on all the nodes. I have to go in early to change out a transmitter and then be at the office by 7:30 for some training. wheeee..
On the slate for this evening is cleaning the kitchen and sanitizing my fermenter so I can brew tomorrow night, since I finally bottled the last batch of beer last night.
Looks like a ton of things coing on regionally this weekend, a couple of chilifests, the Mothman Festival, Poage Landing Days, and oktoberfest. It figures I'm on call, I coulda gotten in free at Oktoberfest, if I'd of watched a table and gave out beer samples. I could think of worse ways to spend a weekend, but I'll probably be under the house replacing air conditioner ductwork.
