Description

Yes, I miss the old music that told stories, had hearts, and moved touched, and inspired me. Those songs are just too hard to find. That’s why I write my own and am part of this group. Looking to be inspired. Mainstream music doesn’t do it anymore.

Bio

Lyrics

It’s my Music
I haven’t used it in quite a while
They tell me boy
Why don’t you write us a song
Well OK here’s the latest one
It doesn’t matter much to me

My old friend says he missed the tunes
And the times we used to sing em by the hour
Gone so soon

But Let the river flow to the sea
Go where you must go and be what you must be
For the times they are a chang’in
And Dylans was rearrang’in
And the times they have all changed us

It’s the same song
I haven’t changed it for another spell
But still they ask where’s the ubla-de, a huh where’s the ubla-da
Magic words gone unheard
And I don’t really think your going to hear yesterday once more

So let the river flow to the sea
Go where you must go and be what you must be
And let your love light shine on and on
Though the sound is gone the song goes on

And on and on and on
