The motel sign say.......
Well, the studying is paying off. 2 A's this week. If I could figure out how to properly use references, from what the professor says, I would be aceing these things. Anyway, seems like a good enough start.
Not much to write about today. The wife went to her first State Fair yesterday and was all excited when I got home. I work right down the street from the fairgrounds and pass it twice a day, but have not had time to go. I'm glad she got to, though. Anyway, the part she liked best? Same as me and you... the midway food!
No transvestcat stories or anything like that. I have a recorded Grey's Anatomy to watch before work.
I wrote 4 versions of this, regular, defiant, pining, and another one that mixed the elements. This was the defiant version:
Dixie Highway
In a God forsaken town late
smell of take-out chicken fried steak
running flat out down these lines,
but ain't getting anywhere
Night boss checks me in and sees
Hmmmmm, put ya down in 313
Hey,do you need a wake-up, man
or just a little sleep?
Motel sign says:
Dixie Highway
Vacancies....YES
Phone...Pool...
and free Color TV
Grab a cup of coffee
from the motel lobby
There underneath the flashing sign
I breathe a silent prayer
God, she's hiding out there
And maybe I don't even care
But could you could see it rains tonight,
so she can feel my tears?
And the Motel sign says:
Dixie Highway
Vacancies....YES
Phone...Pool...
and free Color TV
She Whispered that she loved me
like I'd never felt no sunshine
I spit that right back at her feet
Don't need no sympathizing
If I spilled my secrets
she'd still never know my story
I'll just run it halfway up the mast
salute it if it flies
'Cause somewhere near is where I'm
thinking she should be tonight
Betting on a sure thing's
a satisfying style
I fall for them who never fail
to complicate affection.
I fall for them who never fail
to bring me only pain.
The Motel sign says:
Dixie Highway
Vacancies....YES
Phone...Pool...
andColor TV
Dixie Highway...motor keeps turning
Dixie Highway...memories burning
Dixie Highway...motor keeps turning
Dixie Highway...memories burning
Never stop...never gonna stop(repeat & fade)
That's what I'm about. Ramblin' Ed at 4:39 AM

...Ouch.
Maybe ouch, but you gotta admit it, those are some KILLER lines.
I told y'all I watched the Rob Zombie movie, right? It was OK.
