Hey, I didn't write the song.  And I had to go through it MANY times to make sure I didn't miss anything.  That was one of the scariest copy and pastes I've ever done in my life!  LOL. 

That’s funny! But, fun WRX fact. I’ve received points for both quoting someone else’s profanity (even tho I changed letters to asterisks) and posting a YouTube video that I forgot George Brett said the “bad word” for poop 💩 in! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

Yet WRX posts articles on the main page quoting tour pros using the F word.  SMH.  I can't quite remember who the pro was (I think it was quite possibly Kisner), but that for sure happened, and not too long ago.

Trust me! I had the same reaction!! Unfortunately I couldn’t even discuss it with a mod/anyone at WRX. The kicker was the post I quoted (where the profanity wasn’t disguised) was still there and mine was removed! 🤪Frustrating to say the least. Got me a 30 day timeout that I chose to turn into 6 months.

I went ahead and re-edited the lyrics to clean it up even more.  Now it just sounds funny when you read it.  I actually LOL'd while I was doing it.

I honestly wasn’t calling you out and had zero problem with it. It seems to be a rule that’s only enforced when some coward WRXer hits the ‘report button’. Which seems to mainly be someone that you’ve upset on the forum in the past. Sure you woulda been fine. I just like to mention it, because like me, I don’t think ppl realize it’s against the rules because it’s so prevalent! And like the police and judges have told me in the past, “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. 😜

No problem.  It shouldn't be an issue now, and I certainly don't want to upset anyone.  And I do get a chuckle when I read my edited version of the lyrics now.  🤣

-Orion, Metallica

 

[DArnie]

He left home on a winter day 1969
And he hoped to find all the love
He had lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up
And she married a man
He gave her a son
Ah yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight
To be nobody's fool

Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy             Andrew Gold

[nitram]

Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
See the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend, Ray
Guy, she said she knew well, and sometimes hated

 

But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So, I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

 

Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me

 

Operator, oh, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

 

-Jim Croce

[Argonne69]

Drivin' that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

 

- Grateful Dead 

 

 

[nitram]

Put a candle in the window

'Cause I feel I've got to move

Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light

 

Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while

Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry, no
Long as I can see the light

 

Guess I've got that old traveling bone

'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone

But I won't, won't

Be losing my way, no, no
Long as I can see the light

 

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah

 

Put a candle in the window

 

-John Cameron Fogerty

[Bubb]

There’s a local band playing at the seaside pavilion 

And I’ve got just enough cash to get us in

And as we are dancing, Mary’s wrapping her arms around me 

And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin 

In the midst of the music 

I tell her I love her 

And we both laugh, ‘cause we know it isn’t true 

Oh, but Mary, there’s a summer drawing to an end tonight 

And there’s so much that I long to do to you 

 

Anything but mine - Kenny Chesney

 

[Argonne69]

In fact I think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm gonna drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will

Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the glory yeah
Well time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but
Boring stories of

Glory days, well they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

 

- Bruce Springsteen 

 

[Petethreeput]

Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

 

Hunter/Garcia

[touch]

Well, East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls, with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel all right
And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

The West Coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States
Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

[Argonne69]

When you're weary, feeling small,

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry Them all

I'm on your side. When times get rough

And friends just can't be found

 

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down.

 

- Simon & Garfunkel 

 

[Argonne69]

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

 

- Willie Nelson

 

 

On the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again

The life I love is walking courses in the AM

And I can't wait to get on the road again

 

On the road again

Goin' places that I've never been

Playing courses that I may never play again

And I can't wait to get on the road again

Now i've got that earworm song playing in my head! thanks @Argonne69!

Perhaps someone proficient in photoshop could overlay @Argonne69's image onto this 

Willie Nelson "On The Road Again" LP cover?

Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away

Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out they do it every time

The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah, just you and me (yeah, yeah)

Change it, yeah (change it, yeah) just you and me
Change it, yeah (change it, yeah) can't do it alone
Need some help, y'all (y'all)
Can't do it alone (can't do it alone)
Yeah (yeah)

Wake up, everybody
Wake up, everybody
Need a little help, y'all (yes I do)
Need a little help (say it, boy)
Need some help, y'all (uh-huh)
To change the world
From what it used to be

hard to imagine @Argonne69 rockin' to this in his RV...

(albeit... if you see there's a necktie/sock tied on the door handle of the RV...

if @Argonne69's RV is a'rockin... don't come a'knockin'!) 

 

 

 

[Argonne69]

I guess I shoulda known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last

See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast

I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used

But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say what have I got to lose?
And honey I say

Little red Corvette, baby, you're much too fast
Little red Corvette, you need a love that's gonna last

 

(And the ride, I say the ride is so smooth
You must be a limousine)

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to buid up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rain, a time of sow
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Yep. We do seem to enjoy similar style and genre. Hard to find good music these days. Too much (c)rap.

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo:

 

Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault

Don't know the reason I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think, hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there’s booze in the blender and soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

 

 

 

[nitram]

Heading out this morning into the sun
Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one

Warm wind caress her
Her lover it seems
Oh, Annie, dreamboat Annie
Ship of dreams
Oh, Annie, dreamboat Annie
Little ship of dreams

Going down the city sidewalk alone in the crowd
No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds

Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles
Heading out to somewhere
Won't be back for a while

Won't be back for a while
Won't be back for a while
Won't be back for a while

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

 

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

No one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

 

"The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls"

And whispered in the sounds of silence

 

- Simon & Garfunkel
