A Million Years Ago 2-21-02 Looking at the raindrops, On my windshield as I drive... I wonder where I'm going, What awaits when I arrive? I wonder what the future... If there be one, holds in store- And every year that passes, Makes me wonder, more and more. Fighting gusts of wind- Which try to blow me off the road. Make me think of rodeos- And times that I got throwed. Motels on the roadside- Take me back, and that is true... But every single thing I see- Speaks to me of you. Long distance conversations- From a hundred small-town shows. Yuma in the summer- Battle Mountain, where I froze... Bacon by the roadside... Sleeping in the truck... And the kisses you would give me... All those times you wished me luck. Those were happy, simple times... I miss them, don't you know? But this is now, and that was then- A million years ago. |

I have heard some cowboy poets in my day, spending more than half my life in cowboy states...and you, sir, truly are a gifted poet. I ADORE your work and can't wait to read more. |
