I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.

I'm Glad that the Bush years are behind us
These days I seem to think a lotAnd all the times I had the chance to.
Now if I seem to be afraidWell it's just that I've been losing so long.
These days I sit on cornerstonesI had not forgotten them.
Well I'm running down the roadOne says she's a friend of mine.
Take it easy, take it easy Drive you crazy.
Well, I'm a standing on a cornerSlowin' down to have a look at me.
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
I'm gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender. Where the ads take aim and lay their claim to the heart and the soul of the spender. And believe in whatever may lie in those things that money can buy, though true love could have been a contender
Are you there? Say a prayer for the pretender who started out so young and strong only to surrender
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through.Looking into their eyes I see them running too.
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
