Day 273

7:30AM:

This song was in my head as Mom and I were driving to the next job, through traffic hell and torrential rain to be her Swiss Army Knife, to do what few sane people sign up to do on their vacation time…

Sorry for the cheezy image.  Truth be told, it was because of my preference of a certain TV show that the song was in there.  So I guess, it was more like this…

When I went to post this, I looked at the lyrics first.  I wanted to post this because the lyrics have a lot to do with some thoughts that rattled through my head during the drive —

“Back On The Road Again”

Please don’t hate me mama for what I’m about to do
But the good times we’ve had together are just about now through
Please don’t misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye

[Chorus:]
I’m back on the road again, it’s time I leave you now
And maybe I’ll see you next time, that I’m around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I’m back on the road again, I’m on my way

Well I’ve loved you since the day I met you and I’ll love you till the day I die
But we both know the life I’m livin and we both know the reason why
That I’ve got to leave ya mama and I’ve got to leave today
But you know that I’ll see you next time that I come through your town to play

[Chorus] ooh, bye-bye baby

— about my mother.  Maybe they’ll sort out tomorrow, maybe they’ll be here tomorrow.  Writing helps.  It will help me understand this one too.
