My song takes me away from you...

Sweet Green Grass

Gal, you look like you've been
Run over a few times,
Beat up something real good
When you gonna stick up for yourself?

The road you're on,
And where you're going
It's not too far from me,
Just give me a shout

Sweet green grass eyes,
Better let your spirit free
Those imposing stripes do you no good,
You were always meant for the bars of a soulful song

I wrote that for myself tonight. It's me talking to me, which if it were anything other than poetry it'd make me sound crazy....to be talking to me. ;)

Tonight was amazing.

Jimmy Davis hosted a Christmas songwriter circle and it was set up '68 Comeback style. Awesome stuff! I love hearing 5 great songwriters play great songs and just take the piss out of each other at any given chance. Watching friends play together is amazing.

Coach Reeves(he coached Jamie in basketball) was there and we always talk, and he embaressed me by bragging about my writing/storytelling. I'm just not used to people pouring compliments on me and telling others how wonderful I am. It's hard for my ears to hear and hard for my heart to believe, but it still felt great.

I feel like I made a breakthrough with you, like you realize where I'm coming from now. I can't believe I like you all over again, and I don't like it. I wish we could be friends, but as long as I like you this way we probably won't be. I think I'm what you need though, someone to keep you on your toes or to quote Ray Lamontagne: Feels like every time I get back on my feetshe come around and knock me down again I finally get that line in his song Trouble; he's not saying she makes him feel bad or like dirt, he's saying that she puts him in his place. I feel like when I'm ready and when you're willing to give me the chance, I could be that for you. I'd be so good to you when I'm ready.

I really shouldn't be getting my hopes up, but I am. Whatever, I'm a girl. Live and learn.

I feel so good and rejuvenated right now! That's what a good show does for me.
