LYRICS
It’s been a long, long time
Since I laid my eyes upon her
Wonder if she’ll ponder
“Can I make him mine?”

Chorus
Back when going steady was all the craze
ID bracelets… then class rings… what’s the next phase
“Love Hurts” and Heart on the radio plays
[Barracuda guitar riff]
Baby, those were the days

It’s been a long, long while
Since graced with your smile
Still gal with lady style
The more the change, the more the same… no denial

Chorus

You’re lookin’ oh so fine
Sure aged well in time
Beggin’ for a sign
Will you please be mine?

Chorus

LYRICS
Heard people say you can never go home again
But when I get there they say, “Where’ve ya been?”
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

No surprise when ya look in their eyes
A familiar face… you realize
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

There’s nothing like finding a long lost friend
Except for finding a long lost friend
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

Sorry to say some have passed away
But it’s OK… we’ll meet again some day
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

LYRICS
This is just about as country….
This is just about as country….
This is just about as country as it gets
(never forget, no regrets)

Plenty of fresh air
County fair’s right there
Backwater pleasure
Penn’s hardwood treasure

Clearfield, PA
Clearfield, PA

No four-way stop
Barely a single cop
Do the lights turn red?
Little town… bigger in my head

Blank Minqua squaw
Little in us all
Chinklacomoose
Lanterned caboose

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords

C G G7 C
E Am

Written and recorded in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

A live 1-track stereo recording made on a park bench in downtown Clearfield.

Chinklacamoose, spelled many ways, was an old Native American village located at what is now Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The village existed from the early 1st century up until around the mid to late 17th century. The village was about halfway along the Great Shamokin Path, which started at the old Indian village of Shamokin (present day Sunbury), along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River west to its ending point at the village of Kittanning.

Chinklacamoose kept its name up until 1804, when it became the first township for Clearfield County. Only three years later, the township began to split up into smaller townships, like Beccaria, Bradford, Lawrence and Pike by 1813, when Chinklacamoose Township no longer existed and the name was lost to history.

LYRICS
Do you remember?

Climbing on my shoulders
Riding on my back
Kissing by the boulders
Sitting on my lap

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Looking down from heaven
Do you remember?
Do you remember… living in days like these

With God’s grace given
I do remember.
I do remember… the memories please

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Here we are holding hands
Who would ever understand?
That you could fulfill
That someday you will fulfill
That this day you can still fulfill

Janet Welch Love Song.mp3 (Demo Version)

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em
G Am D G

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania and captured as a digital, stereo, extemporaneous recording. Demo MP3 is 1 track. Video is 6-tracks.

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.

We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?
