Listening to all that music, and writing all that 'prose and poetry'.....I came up with this, that I thought at the time would be one of my first songs:
I made a u-turn in Nashville,
'cause I couldn't take it any more.
I made a u-turn in Nashville,
after you walked on out the door.
If I could make my mind up,
I sure would like to know
why I'm headin' this way,
and is it the way that I should go?
My heart says to wait,
don't be so fast to leave,
but once I set mind in place
there is no other place for me.
Then headin' down that fast Highway,
headin' down that Southern road
along that lonesome bi-way,
headin' straight to where I should go.
Near the warm water and blowin' wind,
that sings to you all day!
Then some tales from the past
just seem to come by and say:
'Don't make that u-turn in Nashville,
for once you're there, stay awhile,
take the time you have, it's short
and longing for your smile.'
So don't make that u-turn in Nashville,
since your time may come,
that anything could happen
and soon it will be done!
