For some reason that lyric has resonated with me all my life and I occasionally find myself reflecting on relationships with my loved ones and considering whether I'm an eagle or a sparrow.
And coincidentally, I found my Hal Ketchum CD while cleaning up the garage today. I've got some listening to do.
"Lucy you know the world must be flat, 'cause when people leave town, they never come back
They go ninety miles an hour to the city limits sign
Put the pedal to the metal 'fore they change their mind"
Man, this one bummed me out more than I thought it would. I can still picture him shimmying through that video while playing the guitar
Found it
I bought it the year we arrived in Texas, 1992. RIP.
