Southpaw Jones

Original Song Lyrics
I write the songs that make the whole world read:

This song appears on Live @ Bongo Java.

Oregon Blues
Southpaw Jones

Oregon’s as good a place as any to hunker down a while
Oregon’s as good a place as any to hunker down a while
I saw and learned so much there
That I started up a file.

The coastline is a stunner, I headed down to Devil’s churn
The coastline is a stunner, I headed down to Devil’s churn
When those girls in Eugene flash a smile
The world just has to slow its turn.

The loggers and the huggers, they fight like cats & dogs
The loggers and the huggers, they fight like cats & dogs
There’s this might flowing river
That that dam Bonneville clogs.

Heard ol’ Bob Dylan sing “Today’s been a sad and lonesome day”
Heard ol’ Mr. Guthrie sing
“Roll on, Columbia roll on”
“Roll on Columbia roll on”
Went out to the fish shop
Got some shrimp, bought some mussel, ate up some prawn.

Met a wise man up in Portland. He sees where every wild beast plods.
Met a wise man up in Portland. He sees where every wild beast plods.
We shared a mound of sushi
Even offered up some to the gods.

Towers fell in New York on a day called 911
Towers fell in New York on the day called 911
Breaking this cycle of terror
That’ll be the biggest thing man’s ever done.

Down in Pennsylvania, that’s where the final missile fell
Down in Pennsylvania, that’s where the final missile fell
It held purpose and evil and oceans of fuel
And a handful of heroes as well.

Can’t send me to Asia, I’ve got these goofy songs to sing
Please don’t send me to Kabul, I’ve got these goofy songs to sing
Ain’t got no heart for fightin’
I wouldn’t even know which gun to bring.

Two dark gray military jets patrolled the empty sky
Two charcoal military jets slashed the northwestern sky
I headed south to Ashland,
Had me some boysenberry pie.

Oregon’s as good a place as any to sit and rest a spell
Oregon’s as good a place as any to hang your head a spell
There’s plenty of ways to ease your mind
While the world goes straight to hell.

My friends Seela and Jon have kittens! E-mail me if you want one.

Quotopia
Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

A kitten is so flexible that she is almost double; the hind parts are equivalent to another kitten with which the forepart plays. She does not discover that her tail belongs to her until you tread on it.
Henry David Thoreau
