Putting the blog to bed. Good night: Southbound



The boom time it is over
A ghost town is all that's left here
The gold rush it is over
And depression days draw near

Tonight after sundown
I'm going to pack my case
I leave without a sound
Disappear without a trace

I'm going southbound

Drifting like a drover
Chasing my career
From the ships docked in the harbour
New horizons will appear

Tumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
Taking only what I need
Before my head explodes

I'm going southbound

Hey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern lights are growing colder
And the old eastern ways are gone

So tonight after sundown
You must go from this place
Without a tear, without a frown
Disappear without a trace

Putting the blog to bed. Good night: The Corrs/Phil Lynott

The Corrs
Old Town



Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy fame wrote , "Old Town". He also wrote and performed my favorite Elvis tribute song...

Kings Call



Hell, it's Saturday night. Let's rock with one of the finest live recordings in rock history. Phil Lynott and the boys' 1978 album Live and Dangerous. This album ain't just a peach, it's a damn gem.
