Shawna Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 this one goes out to RonJon and Uncle Joe. I don't know what you all are talkin' about with the wildwood stuff... but I figgered this was fittin'. Wildwood Weed by Jim Stafford The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm, And we never knowed what it was called. Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed, I never gave it much thought ...... One day I was out there talking to my brother, Reached down for a weed to chew on, Things got fuzzy and things got blurry, And then everything was gone! Didn't know what happened, But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap. I come to and my brother was there, And he said, What's wrong with your eyes? I said, I don't know, I was chewing on a weed. He said, Let me give it a try. We spent the rest of that day and most of that night, Trying to find my brother, Bill. Caught up with him, 'bout six o'clock the next morning, Naked, swinging on the wind mill! He said he flew up there. I had to fly up there and bring him down, He was about half crazy ..... The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds, And put 'em in the sun to dry. Then we mashed 'em up and chopped 'em up, And put 'em in the corncob pipe. Smokin' that wildwood flower got to be a habit, We didn't see no harm. We thought it was kind of handy, Take a trip and never leave the farm! All good things gotta come to an end, And it's the same with the wildwood weed. One day this feller from Washington came by, And he spied and turned white as a sheet. Then they dug and they burned, And they burned and they dug, And they killed all our cute little weeds. Then they drove away, We just smiled and waved .......... Sittin' there on that sack of seeds! Y'all come back now, hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 For Jane. Janis would be too easy. Melissa's got that raspiness in her voice that reminds me of Jane and Janis. And of course, Sweet Jane really is the only one. Please baby cant you see My minds a burnin hell I got razors a rippin and tearin and strippin My heart apart as well Tonight you told me That you ache for something new And some other woman is lookin like something That might be good for you Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone Go on believe her when she tells you Nothings wrong But Im the only one Who'll walk across the fire for you Im the only one Who'll drown in my desire for you Its only fear that makes you run The demons that youre hiding from When all your promises are gone Im the only one Please baby cant you see Im trying to explain Ive been here before and Im locking the door And Im not going back again Her eyes and arms and skin wont make It go away Youll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow That holds you down today Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone Go on believe her when she tells you Nothings wrong But Im the only one Who'll walk across the fire for you Im the only one Who'll drown in my desire for you Its only fear that makes you run The demons that youre hiding from When all your promises are gone Im the only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 It wouldn't be appropriate for me to post the lyrics to Kielbasa by the almighty Tenacious D, but I dedicate it to Laurie anyway.

Lucky Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Six months ago I was in a terribly bad place. I received this song and the lyrics from a Songfacts gentle man, that became my daily prayer: Keep Me From Blowing Away ~ Linda Ronstadt Well I spent my whole lifetime In a world where the sunshine Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round I squandered emotions On the slightest of notions And the first easy loving I found But soon all the good times The gay times and play times Like colors run together and fade Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away There's times when I trembled When my mind remembered The days that just crumbled away With nothing to show But these lines that I know Are beginning to show in my face Oh Lord if you're listening I know I'm no Christian And I ain't got much coming to me So send down some sunshine Throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away Those lyrics became my mantra, that sweet and gentle man, became the lifeline that the song speaks of. He kept me from blowing away. Today, I dedicate these lines to him: LOVE FOR THE LAST TIME ~ Carole King Seems funny now to think of how I call you up to talk about all the little things that were in my mind You were a friend, you listened to all I dreamed of I wanted a real love, the good old fashioned kind. It was you all along You who kept me strong. I wonder how I could've been so blind You kissed me like a lover, loved me like a friend And I'm in love for the last time. I got burned,seems like everybody does,by romance Still I yearn and though I didn't know just what it was, I got a second chance. Just think of it, If we had missed the moment, we might have spent the years ahead believing love had passed I found a love to last a lifetime I'm in love for the last time, and time will make it last. It was you all along, You who kept me strong I don't know how I could've been so blind. You kissed me like a lover, loved me like a friend And I'm in love for the last time It was you all along ...

Shawna Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Beautiful, Lucky. I love the words to that Linda Ronstadt song. As big of a Ronstadt fan as I used to be I'm surprised I've never heard it. Is that a version of an old folk song by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 "The" classic, dedicated to my Songfacts friends... There are places i'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends i still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life i've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When i think of love as something new Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more In my life i love you more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
