I want a sixty-six New Yorker with the top rolled down four-forty engine winding at the speed of sound you sittin by me in your great big sunglasses glammered up like Jacqueline Onasis I want to roll baby roll into the sun, set I want to ride baby ride down that road I want to feel you there beside me making me sweat I want to roll rockabilly baby roll Wish I could love you like Johnny loved June We would never stop until we reached Cancun I want great big speakers blaring out Big River I want to run off and get married in a fever I want to roll baby roll into the wild blue yonder we'd never even stop to tell a soul Let's ride baby ride and forever wander Let's roll rockabilly baby roll okay... so...I've had my head buried in about 150 Johnny Cash songs all week...

This rocks in a major way! I sang this one twice...reminds me of my cruisin' days (daze), racing down south bound Highway 55. I had a little Mustang..."Baby Blue 302." Blew those big boys off of the road! So making me smile this evening! Thanks, Mr. Rebel! Patricia |

This could certainly set a mood. By George, I do believe it did. Yeah, I could tell where your head had been and you did it right! |

I've got my JO sunglasses on and I'm heading your way! Shove, love! Move over and let's hit the open road! lol Gosh, I really enjoyed this! It really felt like I had the wind in my hair! I usually wear it in a ponytail and it flies straight out from the back of my head when I bomb around in a convertible! EA |

Ruth -- no excuses required... thanks... leather huggsZzzzzzz Dixie -- just me being silly -- got your sunglasses? [squeeze] Susan, Susan, Susan, won't marry me? (angst) but see, that's the whole point -- to be swept up in the passion and impetuously dive headlong into oblivion and devil may care -- and all that -- yanno??? *wink EA -- thanks -- I'll save a spin for you.. Sunchine! Thanks for rollin in again... It's kind of funny how songs just don't translate into good poetry (this one included) but glad you liked it Magnus -- yeah -- I like this mood better -- I've ranged from tears to rage this week as I watched Nashville (my stomping ground) hypocritically re-embrace the man in black after his death. I'm still trying to figure out why I took it so hard but -- I think I may have the answer. Martie! Not gonna be late with that 440 mopar engine -- but you might want to step back a little from the curb until I get it stopped! lol... thankyou.. Ethel -- if you just cross Cry Cry Cry with Big River and rock it up a little bit more -- that's the tune -- I may even return to the studio and lay it down sometime... Thanks -- always glad to make somebody dance KS -- Thank you -- glad you could get the rhythm...! *smile Trica -- all you want to do is ride around Sallly... Riiide, Sssssallly... Riiide!!! Thankyou -- just grab that Stang and meet me at the Mason-Dixon line. Enchantress -- Let's Boogie -- Luther's playin... ! Thanks all! (pssss.... if you really want some songs that translate well into poetry check out Lucinda Williams latest CD 'World Without Tears') [This message has been edited by Local Rebel (09-21-2003 07:31 PM).] |

Take me on a yonder ride And let's enjoy our precious time With passion and with blaring song Can two hearts beat sweetly along I love this.I can hear the music and feel the beat of your heart in this. Crystal |
