Intermezzo #45

Skeleton we have been friends for years.
And you have seen me through some trials.
And tribulations and some tears.
But everybody thinks I’m weird.
And I should have known.
That it wouldn’t be long.
Until you, you’ve got me standing in an awkward position.
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation.
And it’s not that I’m letting go of you.
But I don’t know what to do.

Intermezzo #44

I rode right back across Arkansas.
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa.
I found that girl with the golden hair.
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare.

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor.
Little horse colt playing round the door.
I loved the girl with the golden hair.
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare.

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean.
The colour of the sun and his eyes were green.
He had the nerve and he had the blood.
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud.

Intermezzo #43

Sometimes days are so hard to survive, oh yeah, a million ways to bury you alive, hey.
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream.
You’re wound up tight, gotta let off steam.
They say they can break you again and again, if life is a radio, turn it up to ten.

These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights.
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights.
