Do you like songs that repeat things and sometimes stuff? I do?
SINK HOLE
by Drive-By-Truckers
I’ve always been a religious man, I ‘ve always been a religious man
but I met the banker and it felt like sin, he turned my bailout down
The Banker Man, he let into me, let into me, let into me
The Banker Man, he let into me and spread my name around
He thinks I ain’t got a lick of sense cause I talk slow and my money’s spent
Now, I ain’t the type to hold it against, but he better stay off my farm
Cause it was my Daddy’s and his Daddy’s before
and his Daddy’s before and his Daddy’s before
Five generations and an unlocked door and a loaded burglar alarm.
Lots of pictures of my purdy family, lots of pictures of my purdy family
lots of pictures of my purdy family in the house where I was born.
House has stood through five tornadoes,
Droughts, floods, and five tornadoes.
I’d rather wrastle an alligator than to face the Banker’s scorn
Cause he won’t even look me in the eye
He just takes my land and apologize,
with pen, paper, and a friendly smile, he says the deed is done.
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning, The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning over what the Banker done.
Like to invite him for some pot roast beef and mashed potatoes and sweet tea
follow it up with some banana pudding and a walk around the farm
Show him the view from McGee Town Hill
Let him stand in my shoes and see how it feels
to lose the last thing on earth that’s real
I’d rather lose my legs and arms
Bury his body in the old sink hole Bury his body in the old sink hole
Bury his body in the old sink hole under cold November sky
Then damned if I wouldn’t go to church on Sunday
Damned if I wouldn’t go to church on Sunday
Damned if I wouldn’t go to church on Sunday
and look the Preacher in the eye.

Excellent.
What a terribly soul destroying thing to think you were the one responsible for loosing what generations of your family managed to hang on to.
It is almost like sacred land.
How did we end up with a handful of plastic beads.
I didn’t understand the contract.
You didn’t speak in my language.

Repeating sings into memory for some,
I was thinking of Willie Nelson as I read your words
and yes I like folk music.
edit, I watched part of the video, Glad you printed the words,
or I would not have understood them!

Well yeah, I mean because sometimes
and I mean because sometimes
in poetry and song things get
repeated for emphasis
and to help with memorizing
and for emphasis, too.
…’n’ stuff.

Sadly, this is the story of far too many Americans who have had their property legally STOLEN by THUGS IN SUITS in banks that are now being rewarded (BAILOUT BONUSES) for their CRIMES (foreclosures) committed on simple hardworking folks who cannot decipher the Byzantine rules of the games they play, which ruin our lives…

This reminds me of the movie, “Bonnie and Clyde.” It’s also appropriatee for today.

Sometimes.
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
by U2
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes I’m still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

I actually wrote a song about truckers… Its called the truckers blues. Nothing like this one though. BTW i will not put my song out there for those to see the words. Hoping one day i can find a publisher and a person to write the music for it. Its a funny song ..

i’ve known people that have lost their land with the stroke of a pen. the banker emotionally detached from his heart and soul.

Yes. I enjoy writing poetry and stuff now , repeating as many lines as possible.
This helps reduce the time I spend searching for fancy words.
