The prompt is songs from artists who have famous musician parents, suggested by Paula of Light Motifs II. Thanks Jim for hosting. I’m going with One Headlight by the Wallflowers. Songwriter: Jakob Dylan, son of Bob. Hope you enjoy 🙂

So long ago, I don’t remember when
That’s when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There’s got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it’s cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can’t break away from this parade
But there’s got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Saying all is good and nothingness is dead
We’d run until she’s out of breath
She ran until there’s nothing left
She hit the end, it’s just her window ledge

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There’s got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

This place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn’t turn
What smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it burn
I’m so alone, I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams
I think her death it must be killing me

Hey
Hey
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There’s got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

Sunday Reflections: A Week in Review ~ 11/6/22

I need the tunes today y’all. I’m feeling a bit morose. I took every advantage of the extra hour staying in bed until what would’ve been 9:00 AM CST. That’s late for me. We ran all the errands to include gassing up the vehicle for enough fuel to get to physical therapy & my in office day job mañana. Means I’m minimally ready to go for the week.

Yesterday was a good day. We went to a baby shower in Waco, Texas. We spent more time on the road than there but still those precious few hours were much need interaction with the living who we haven’t seen in years. I always get rejuvenated with plans to get together again sooner. Let’s hope maybe that can happen in 2023. We are making plans, then making it a reality to visit Arizona, Colorado, & Massachusetts. Enough talking about it, just do it! Life is too short. I should know that with all the reminders I get on the regular.

I’m uber sensitive & sad that my alt Twitter might be going away. Many are leaving to other platforms like Mastodon (whatever that is) & I don’t have it in me to set up an account there. I’m not even sure how I would find my people. My regular Twitter account is for sharing this blog & nothing else with few followers so if those friends all leave I’m still connected here but my alt account is hundreds of people who have been through what I have & understand me like no one else can. That shared experience of you’re not alone & I see you will be sorely missed. Just when I needed them most, they saved my life. Timing is everything & I’m now at a place where I can go it alone again. Their strength will be carried with me in my heart forever. Boy, I am the queen comma drama!! lol

Roll call time, without further ado …

Peace y’all. Until next time. Stay safe.

As always, more to come.
