There are places I rem em ber all my life , though some h ave changed . . . some fo re ve r, not for better some h ave gone, and some rem ain . . .

Though I know I'll never lose affectio n for people and things that w e n t before.

I kno w I'll often stop and think about them . . .

come over b a b y, w e got chicken in the b a rn —w ho's b a rn —w h a t b arn — m y barn!

There's a place you dream about w h ere your thoughts can be still; It's in betw een the land of sm ile, close by the sunshine hill.

And hum ble pie is a lw a y s hard to s w a llo w w ith your pride.

Took off m y pants and felt free.

"Truth comes as conqueror only to those w ho h ave lost the art of receiving it as frie n d ." all things must pass Got m y w in e , feeling fin e , friend of a devil is a friend of mine.

Everyone needs a little kindness; everyone needs some lo ve.................

So close, yet so fa r.

"H e w ho a llo w s him self to be insulted deserves to b e ."

Don't forget to stop along the w a y and smell the flo w ers times are good as times are bad and nothing seems the sam e but I only seem to sit and w atch them fa d e a w a y into today it's o .k. o .k. now you think of som ething.
