Las Vegas where’s your soul

Is it in the bright lights or the casinos

Did you leave it somewhere on a long dark road, and keep walking

Las Vegas, where’s your soul

Have the gods of the desert all forsaken you

Left you to stand on your own, all alone

Your colored lights they hypnotize

Stretching out beyond the red rocks that rise on either side

Where do you hide your solitude?

Under a sky so wide and a sun so cruel

Las Vegas, where’s your soul

The desert sand could come and swallow,

Swallow you whole

Somebody asked me for it, so there it is!

So Many Things – Guitar Tab

Got a request for lyrics, so I’ll be posting the lyrics to all the songs on ‘Go Call the Captain.’  Enjoy!

BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

They buried me by the side of the road
my mind grew distant
my body got old
so they dressed me up
in my favorite clothes
and they buried me there
by the side of the road

They bring me flowers and they lay them at my feet
they cry their tears
and they say their prayers for me
but I don’t need saving
and anyone can see
that I’m better off now
than I’ve ever been

I have no eyes
to see the struggle
I am blind to the ways of the world
I have no mind
to confuse and complicate me
my heart lies still
my body vacant
an empty vessel
left to sleep beneath the dirt

They buried me by the side of the road
these hands you’ve held
are not my own
I’m just a stranger
you used to know
a passenger here
without a home

I have no eyes
to see the struggle
I am blind to the ways of the world
I have no mind
to confuse and complicate me
my heart lies still
my body vacant
an empty vessel
left to sleep

They buried me by the side of the road
my mind grew distant
my body got old
so they dressed me up
in my favorite clothes
and they buried me there
by the side of the road

I’m hoping he grows up really fast…like 30 feet in two months.

Here’s a doodle on a sticky note from yesterday.  I think I may actually expand upon this one.

We went to see our first airstream on Saturday!  A 1981 Excella II –  it hadn’t been used for about a year and was a little run down, but still awesome.

Also discovered Airstream Forums and spend huge quantities of time on there.  Not only is there everything you could ever want to know about Airstreams, there are also super friendly Airstream owners willing to drive out and inspect Airstreams with you!

So next week we’re going back to check it out with an inspector.

Hopefully he’ll say “this is an awesome trailer, buy it now.”
