I Wish



Looking back on when I
Was a nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
(you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doing it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Wishin'
Tim

One For The Ages



Summer is here, heat and rain with humidity so thick ya can drink it.
It's my time, human comfort time, time to chill.

I have been to hundreds of concerts, I always saved my stubs, one day I'll count them but till then I am posting one of my favorites of all time.
The Grateful Dead Miami October 26, 1989.
Last night of an incredible tour, I started in Hampton and caught one of two nights as "The Warlocks" I had to high tail it back to Florida to drop off Paul, but caught back up for 2 of 3 in The Spectrum in Philly, both nights in Charlotte and headed down to Miami for the last two nights.
This show was awesome from start to finish with the second set totally off the charts.

So if you are dare to go back with me down memory lane, give it a spin.
