one for the road
                by Dan O'Connell

Walking down these empty streets
dirty side of town
Nothing in my pockets and theres no one else around
I still hear her telling me shes leaving me alone
Here's one more for a broken heart, and one more for the road


the lonesome highway's calling me and everything is changed
all I have is memories, her voice that calls my name
Life keeps on changing - so I have been told
here's one more for a broken heart, and one more for the road


Lying in the soft green grass
drunk as I can be
waiting for that south bound train, home to carry me
my minds and empty space, a pain that ever grows
here's one more for a broken heart - and one more for the road



Going back to my home town, mountains and the streams
back to where I belong, the wind blows through the trees
old guitar and backpack, I'll take what life has thrown

here's one more for a broken heart, one more for the road

Ah! Thanks, Sorcha for the thread. It does deserve one of its own. And, thanks Dan, for sending me the PM. I just sent you one. I really, really like your song, arrangement, AND picking and singing! Beautiful!

Sorcha
that was so kind of you thank you. Here is the story, about 14 years ago I broke my neck. Everything works but I lost all feeling in my fingers. They work fine but I can't feel them. I got frustrated and put my guitar away and only occasionaly would pick it up strum and put it back. Then I ran into Bruce on the email, never met him, we talk back and forth. All I kept getting was get off your ARSE and get to work again and again. For 5 months now I have been pounding the guitar and now banjo until my fingers were raw trying to recover something that I lost. Then I made the mistake of telling him I use to write songs .. so then I got .. when are you going to send me a song .. again and again.. hence I started writing again ... Katie's song was the first in quite a long long time .. now I am trying to do a CD for my kids so any comments good or bad are most most welcome. And if my music is really awful -- Blame Bruce !!   

sorry if I embarrassed you Peace but you created a monster here getting me started again ya know !!

Dan

Dan buried this in his Song for Katie thread. I think it deserves one of its own:
