Musical Sunday

I usually have my "favorites" playlist running on my phone while I'm working in the garden, and it finally cycled long enough to bring up this great tune written by Butch Hancock and performed by Joe Ely - "Row of Dominoes" ...

Here are the lyrics:

Carmen must have been the devil's daughter

At least he taught her how to wear her clothes

And the boys followed her to the slaughter

Where they fell like a row of dominoes

They fell like a row of dominoes

Don't let your past drive you under

You know how a memory comes and goes

The years rolled away just like thunder

Where they fell like a row of dominoes

They fell like a row of dominoes

Won't you tell me how you been?

Don't just say that you've been feelin' fine.

Havin' that feelin' again

There's a whole lot more to lay on the line

There's a whole lot more layin' on the line

Share and share alike you know I love you

But I also love the way the wild wind blows

So don't set your dreams up there above you

Where they'll fall like a row of dominoes

They'll fall like a row of dominoes

They say a fool never knows what he misses

And a wise man never misses what he knows

What can I say? Your ten thousand kisses

Fell on me like a row of dominoes

Fell on me like a row of dominoes

Won't you tell me how you been?

Somethin' more than you've been feelin' fine?

Havin' that feelin' again

And the dominoes are standin' in a line

The dominoes are standin' in a line

I think this song contains one of the most awesome lines ever:

Carmen must have been the devil's daughter

At least he taught her how to wear her clothes

That one just sends shivers down my back every time I hear it ... but then again, I'm pretty impressionable.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
