Wise words from Jimmy

Some people never find it,
Some only pretend.
Me, I just want to live happily ever after
every now and then.

Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet.

Where's the church, who took the steeple
Religion's in the hands of some crazy ass people
Television preachers with bad hair and dimples
The God's honest truth is it's not that simple

"Relationships...everybody wants em. What do ya do with them?"

I treat my body like a temple, you treat yours like a tent.

so many great songlines
here's a few I didn't see.

I'd like to go where the pace or life's slow
Can you beam me somewhere, Mr. Scott?
Any old place here on Earth or in space,
You pick the century and I'll pick the spot…

And I'm somewhere below the sunlight
somewhere upon the sea
you dig deep enough you might find me
Find me, ‘cause that's where I'll be…

I don't want to live on that kind of island
No, I don't want to swim in a roped off sea.
Too much for me, too much for me
I've got to be where the wind and the water are free…

Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most
Write 'em down, pas 'em around
It's the gospel from the coast
Reflections, not just replays
Takin' time to escape the maze
Lookin' for better days…

You need a holiday, take a holiday
Find a far-off wonderland
Where you might regain command of your life today…

Sail away for a month at a time,
Sail away I've got to recharge mind
Then you'll find me back at it again…

women and water are in short supply
There's not enough dope for us all to get high
I hear it gets better, that's what they say
As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay…

I've got to head this boat south pretty soon
New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes
But I know that I'll get 'em, I know that they'll come
Through the people and places and Callwood's Rum…

I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me moving around
Like the wind that blows, tides that flow
I have my ups and downs

Some good advice given out in Charlotte in 2006, transcribed by conched:

"Let me tell you about those seven deadly sins if you forgot em...

1 Pride --thou shalt not have pride in thy neighbor
2 Coveting --thou shalt not cover thy neighbor's wife's car
3 Lust -- Lust....
4 Anger --Do not be angry with the lust for your neighbor's wife
5 Gluttony --do not be a glutton in the Pizza Hut
6 Envy -- do not envy the glutton in the Pizza Hut
7 Sloth --do not be a sloth

And the 8th deadly sin is

Barbecue! "

some of my faves:

"some people say I'm halfway here, some people say I'm halfway gone"
"spend it while you can, money is contraband"
"I gotta be where the women and water are free" at least that's what I hear

Las Vegas 10/28/2006

"So hard to find my way
Now that I'm on my own
I thought about it just the other day
Where has the time all gone

I can't remember back then Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout
Makin' love in the green grass
Underneath the crap table
With you, my brown eyed girl..."

Make the best of a bad situation, it's about all you can do.

A most mysterious calling harbour
So far but yet so near
Where I see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear...

But Not Yet!!!

Las Vegas, 10/20/2007

They shot from the highway, they shot from the lighthouse
They shot from the top of the cliff
We're catchin' fire, ain't no one gettin' higher
And there wasn't even a spliff !

Or was there?

It's crazy and it's different but it's really bein' free
And reasons the world would want to question make sense to you and me
