X has never marked the right spots

Post by saw » August 26th, 2016, 8:48 am

you shouldn't try to follow me
I'm one of those guys
that won't stop for directions
I'm a seat-o-the-pants man
a time traveler with no concern
for cleared runways

wings and prayers will do just fine
don't need no stinking GPS
just a fat roll of gorilla tape
a confounded ball of 16 gauge tie wire
and a healthy dose of skepticism,
too late to rewrite history now

X has never marked the right spots
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Now see? this is where it gets interesting - I'm not sayin' it's for everyone, I'm just saying go fish - and fuck all to hell a bunch of x's - I mean it's dawn the sun is in my eyes ... well, not in my eyes but coming at me from the side, which is just as bad - don't mind me, saw - I just love it when a piece of writing gives moves me enough to want to hang another piece of writing on it -
in celebration ya know - 8)
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

"...just a fat roll of gorilla tape..."

My date for prom in high school had a dress made of duct tape. She made it for a contest. Don't remember if she won or not. I lost trying to get it off ;)
