RNRROSE,

Is that Rock and Roll Rose?

The second song you requested is in the DigiTrad Database. You could find it by going to the upper-right-hand corner of this page and typing in [gun that shoots] and clicking on the search button. The brackets tell the search engine to search for that exact phrase. It was a part of the song where I was sure of the words and their spelling.

Enjoy the song!

There is a song entitled AND SO IT GOES in the DT. But it is credited to that noted folk-singer Billy Joel. Probably not the song you seek.

Thanks Roger. The Dylan was a direct hit - the other song I have had a heck of a time finding the words. Apparently this is the only time Denver recorded it. Guess I will just listen to the song over and over and take notes (-: PS. Liked the Billy Joel song though!

Gene: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been looking for these lyrics for years and so appreciate you and Roger for your help. Chords too...guess I'll have to go dust off the guitar now. (-: This has been one of the nicest and most fun sites I've been too! Thanks again.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. II MCA Records 1989

CMA and Grammy Award Winner Certified Gold Album

One of the best cherished of the late '60s/early '70s country rock albums was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1972 triple, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, which brought together a number of country and bluegrass luminaries and helped sweep aside country music's sticks-and-hickster image for a rockier audience. 17 years later came Vol. II, with a far greater panoply of stars - too many to mention in fact, but Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, John Hiatt and Rosanne Cash (rocking together on "One Step Over The Line"), John Prine, Ricky Skaggs, Earl Scruggs, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman (on Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere"), and Bruce Hornsby (with a bluegrass version of "The Valley Road") will do for starters. Unsurprisingly, there's some fine picking and singing here, plenty of musical affection and lots of pally fun, and all of it recorded live-to-tape, the performers sitting around in an unbroken circle in the studio and simply, well, going out there and enjoying themselves. "I think we brought the living room back to music," comments Emmylou Harris at the end of side one. I think she's right. John Bauldie © Emap Consumer Magazines Limited.

Here is what I remember of this old song.

And So It Goes
(Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz)

A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see
But like any other house it's only temporary
Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart
If there's no love inside it will soon fall apart

Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust
Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
And so it goes, with everything but love
So it goes, with everything but love, so it goes

You can drive around in a long limousine
If you don't know where you're going, it don't mean a thing
He would walk a mile just to hold an empty hand
He knows what it means to be a wealthy man

Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
Colossi will crumble, bridges will rust
Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
And so it goes, with everything but love
So it goes, with everything but love, so it goes

Wordly treasures will all pass away
There's just one thing that is put here to stay

Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
Kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust
Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
And so it goes, with everything but love
So it goes, with everything but love
So it goes, with everything but love
So it goes, with everything, but love

What stuck with me from that album was Emmylou's Mary Danced with Soldiers; and The Turn of the Century (the latter because the writers got it so wrong).

Lost River is a great song too.

As for predictions, if you still believe in global warming, they got one right - "Hanging out together - in picture perfect weather"
