“Wheels are made for rollin
mules are made to pack
I never seen a sight that didn’t look better looking back.
Mud can make prisoner
and the plains can bake you dry
snow can burn you eyes
but only people make you cry
home is made for comin from
for dreams of going to which with any luck will never come through.”
from Paint Your Wagon

“While riding on a train going west, I fell asleep for to take my rest. I dreamed a dream that made me sad. Concerning myself and the first few friends I had. As easy as it was to tell black and white, it was all that easy to tell wrong from right. The choices were few, but the thought never hit that the one road we’d travel would ever shatter and split. I wish, I wish in vain for us to simply sit in that room once again. Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat. I would give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.” Bob Dylan

Hey, Mister Spaceman, won’t you please take me along for a ride?” The Byrds

“Clouds so swift, the rain coming in
going to see a movie about Gunga Din
pack up your money, put your tent in the wind
you ain’t going nowhere.”

“Would you like to sing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? You can be better off than you are, or would you rather be a mule? And not all the monkeys are in the zoo, every day you see quite a few. So, you see it is all up to you, you could be better off than you are, you could be swinging on a star.” from Frank Sinatra record.

“In my early years I hid my tears
and passed my days alone
adrift on an ocean of loneliness
my dreams like nets were thrown
to catch the love that I’d hear of
in books and films and songs.”
Jackson Browne

“I don’t get things right the first time,
in fact, I am told that a lot
now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles
and falls that brought me here”

anyway that’s how it seems, its hard to tell
maybe people only ask you how you’re doin
cause that’s easier than letting on how little they can care.”
Jackosn Browne
