"Bless The Broken Road"
(originally by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Yes He did)

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true.

[Chorus]

Yeah.

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

My song tonight

Roll, won’t you come roll with me slow, fast, full speed
Girl wherever sweet time takes us
Hang, with me down this old road
Only god knows where we’ll go
Don’t matter long as I’ve got your love

[Chorus]
I don’t ever want to wake up,
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, Oh O
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O

Slide, slide over nice and close
Lay your head down on my shoulder
You can fall asleep I’ll let you
Dream, life aint nothing but a dream, don’t wanna be
Cruisin’ through this dream without you

[Chorus]
I don’t ever want to wake up,
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, Oh O
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O
No other shotgun rider, Oh O

[Chorus]
I don’t ever want to wake up,
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, Oh O
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O

No other shotgun rider, Oh O

Singin’ to the radio, Oh O

You’re my shotgun rider.

:) Thanks Babe :)

Needed this

Drowning in our escapades

Brambly arms outstretched to weeping heavens
Thick shrouds of gray illuminated under yellow industrial light cast down 

Interrogating empty sidewalks
Drizzly peace interrupted by wailing sirens that call to empty streets

Her thoughts hold loyalty only to him

Having been hiding a midst broken promises and forgotten dreams 

She strays a jaded path of bewilderment
Dreamscapes of far away places
Under canopies of constellations
Stowing away in mountainous powder coated cabins
Outstretched on glittery seashores
Scrambling up trunks to childlike houses
Dipping into bubbling sulfur waters
Her bones sluff off the remnants of a fragmented shell

Lost in blue seas of familiarity framed with subtle waves of laughter
Sharing a calming caress of skin that produces sensations 

A lust much too deep for their seemingly short life

Refusing to allow the denial of her power

She had been incognizant to the extent in which she masks

He lifts her face to the sun and kisses quiet promises to her forehead 

Words flounder to equate suitable meaning

Failing to find their way to her lips

Settling for a gaze locked

Cemented in a moment

Conversations void of articulation 

Reticent plans for an unseen future

Humble everyday exploits

Contented fireside evenings

Sweet breakfast exchanges

Hopes of little feet tipping down the hall

Climbing between them to hide from monsters under the bed

Savoring shared milestones

Reveling in one anothers waning youth

She had been prepared to undergo it alone

Feeling that the unaccompanied thwart the languished

What began as unpleasantness in the absence of his company

Swiftly deviated to a harrowing vacancy

She could no longer find contentment in her indifference 

In him she found fulfillment

An ally in an adversarial world

Her muse

Her consort

In him she found home

And she loved him

In the way the moon loved the sun

Winter the summer

She loved him
