This Friday song is for my wife.
Let Me Walk
Let me walk with you tonight.
Found a gaping hole in the night.
I looked in the book, but the pages were faded.
I hope the music holds the last bit of light.
Write me a poem I can read to myself.
Make me a promise I can keep to myself.
Promises echo
Across mountains and valleys
‘Til they fall
Broken in the dirt.
The shards of the promises
Slice at the feet
Of those
Who already hurt.
Let me walk with you tonight.
Hold yourself steady on my arm.
We’ll pick us some roses with dew on the petals.
We’ll sing us some songs and spin us some yarns.
Let me walk with you tonight.
We’ll find us a soft place to lie.
We’ll hold each other close in the dark.
Comfort each other when we cry.
Write me a poem I can sing to myself.
Make me a promise I can keep to myself.
Promises echo
Across mountains and valleys
‘Til they fall
Broken in the dirt.
The shards of the promises
Slice at the feet
Of those
Who already hurt.
Let me walk with you tonight.
Put our love to the quest.
Live strange places. Love strange faces.
Hold each other when we rest.

Great song, Rog. I'm beginning to think the Troy Boys should start a band. I have observed that I write the best lyrics under the following conditions: 1) solitude, 2) after drinking several beers, and 3) very late at night (well after midnight). Maybe that's why so many musicians die young.
Possible names for a band:
The Flying Burrito Eaters
The Flying Margaritas
Honky-Tonk Crackers
Bald-Boys of Alabama (or Missouri since were not really from Alabama)
Lincoln County All-Stars
The Mississippi River All-Stars
Reverend Seamhead
Uncle Seamhead
Seamhead and the Stan Musials
The Oversized Drivers
Anyone have other possibilities?
The Bald Crooners (keeping with the "TBC" theme)
Jagua Piru
Lincoln County Hackers
Lost in the Fairway
Bob Sykes Fan Club
I like the names with Seamhead in them of course. that last one would be good: Seamhead and the Oversize Drivers.
Seamhead and the Hybrids
I like the Cuivre River All-Stars.
you gotta love the ole' Bob Sykes trade.
How about 'The Pork Steaks?'
Our first Album could be "BBQ at Monty's."
Seamhead and the Graphite Shafts
Guamanian BarBQue
Los Cabezas Grande
The Bastard Sons of Kathy Whitworth
C'mon Boz. Help me out.
Seamhead and the Belly Putters
The Loin Cloths
Kill the Road Warrior (that's for Dave)
If RWP and I had a duo:
Seamhead and the Medicine Man
If Rocky joins:
Power of Attorney
names for albums:
"IN line for Bleacher seats"
'Hardee's killed the Dairy Freeze'
'Lincoln Drive'
"I almost died in a Z28 with a case of pony's between my legs"
Bulldog Face Getaway
Other album titles:
"Face Down in the Creek Bed" or "Bulldozer Blues" (same night...different stories).
Seamhead and the Cuivre River All-Stars: Highway 47 Revisited
That's gotta be a great album.
