Original message
I just heard billyskank singing this song on the radio!
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin for the trains,
Feelin nearly faded as my jeans.
Joani thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin sad while Joani sang the blues,
With them windshield wipers slappin time and
Joani clappin hands we finally sang up every song
That driver knew.

Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose,
And nothin aint worth nothin but its free,
Feelin good was easy, lord, when Joani sang the blues,
And buddy, that was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Joani eee-eee.

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Joani shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin right beside me through everythin I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold.
The somewhere near Salinas, lord, I let her slip away,
She was lookin for the love I hope she'll find,
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
Holdin Joani's body close to mine.

Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose,
And nothin left was all she left to me,
Feelin good was easy, lord, when Joani sang the blues,
And buddy, that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me and Joani eee-eee.

:cry:

I was afraid this would happen. I should have warned billy that there's no man alive that can keep Joani!
