A 1-track live stereo recording. Written and recorded on the courthouse wall and the corner of Church and Gay Streets in West Chester, PA.
A song about being thankful. While writing the song, many strangers stopped to show their gratitude for the music. So, the song is about being grateful for their gratitude.
LYRICS
Have you heard of the rat race
A herd in disgrace
A generation lost in space
Left in a haze
Stuck in a maze
Mesmerize with lies
Simpletons amaze
Cracked from the craze
How absurd of a pig race
Humane? Not a trace
A race losing face
Fat cat fit spat
Ain’t where it’s at
Alarm disarm
The donkey can’t see
The Ass disaster
Quick! Run faster
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?
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
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.
