Greetings from Murphysboro IL.
Today I wrote my 20th and 21st songs of FAWM 2025 and THAT felt GOOD!

Lyrics

OR SO I'VE BEEN TOLD

You may not know it yet
A stranger's just a friend who you haven't met
The jet sets and the rednecks
You could say I've made the rounds
But don't say nothing to Doreen
She's got a fury like you've never seen
She's got game, but games, get old
Or so I've been told

Knew the odds, made the bet
The results aren't in yet
I should call Claudette and see
If she still has a room for me
Life is short, talk is cheap
A lesson learned is the gold you keep
You cannot count on a good night's sleep
When you're on the road
Or so I've been told

Pick up band, one night stand
Played some Willie Nelson now I'm on the road again
That horizon isn't any closer now than it was 20 years ago
Wheels roll, day and night
To beat the devil, you have to travel light
If that old devil gets you in his sights
Watch out for your soul
Or so I've been told

Now Claudette, she's doing fine
And it turned out the baby wasn't mine
We sure had some good times
Hey! keep in touch
I got back to town
Just in time to watch it burn down
And Doreen's nowhere to be found
But she did leave a note
Or so I've been told

Or so I've been told
