..today is maggie day..
Mags, I’m finally on my way. Get your Peyton Manning jersey out and all your favorite books, and be prepared to be squeezed constantly until January 5.
I left home a long long time ago
In a tin can for the road
With a suitcase and some songs
Chasing miles through the night time
Making tracks with no time for looking back
To the place where I belongHow these days grow long
But I’m on my way back home
It’s been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I’m gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow longWhen your sad you know I wish I could be there
To make your sorrows disappear
And set your troubles free
It’s not fair for me to be this far from you
But I promise to stay true, wherever I might beTime keeps burning
The wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I’m wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I’m gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow longNow I’m lost in a sea of sunken dreams
While the sound of drunken screams echos in the night
But I know all of this will come to pass
And I’ll be with you at last forever by your sideHow these days grow long
But I’m on my way back home
It’s been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I’m gonna love you till my dying day
See, now, I was thinking you’d rewrite Caroline as “Maggie Day” because Brandi wrote that exact one about coming home to see her niece!
mmmm…. how appropriate, a.lenore! did you get the new album? if you happen to be in nashville on feb. 16, I can probably get you tix to a good concert…. just sayin’
see, hbu, that’s exactly the kind of stuff I don’t know, because I am ALWAYS not where she is playing. still never seen a live show. yes, that would have been most appropriate.
c.snell, once again, NOT going to be here. sigh. one day. one day.
