hey, do you remember that time we were driving west through new mexico and there was a lightning storm? the lightning shot through the brownish grey clouds all the way down, touching the ground. we pulled off to the side of the road so you could get out and you ran around the van and into the playground. you had the shark. the lightning struck the earth to the left and to the right. i got out and got back into the drivers seat so i could drive. then you got back in and we sat there and watched the storm. do you remember how it drive us crazy? then i started to drive and we drove off, leaving the storm behind us and replacing it with a red sunset going down behind the new mexico mountains... you should come over and play risk some time. i'll beat you.

this is the first friday night in quite a while when ive had nothing to do. so, im sitting here alone and...

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mes I'm in-
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet-
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way

Take away,
take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away,
take away
Never to return again
Take away,
take away
Take away this ball and chain

Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life-
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife-
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there-
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere

Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room-
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since half past noon-
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail-
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail-

i should go for a walk...
