A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

The SOLE purpose of this series is to help call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as an endorsement, and I have included sites that I found rather disturbing.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.  Oh, and as of August 10, 2012, I will be no longer including sites that have auto-play and word verification engaged.

ATF: Civilized Tribes

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Indian Reservation

Paul Revere & The Raiders

They took the whole Cherokee nation

Put us on this reservation

Took away our ways of life

The tomahawk

And bow and knife

Took away our native tongue

And taught their English to our young

And all the beads we made by hand

Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people

Cherokee tribe

So proud you lived

So proud you died

They took the whole Indian nation

Locked us on this reservation

Though I wear a shirt and tie

I'm still part red man deep inside

Cherokee people

Cherokee tribe

So proud you lived

So proud you died

But when someday they have learned

The Cherokee nation will return

Will return

Will return

Will return

Will return

Seminole Wind

John Anderson

Ever since the days of old

Men would search for wealth untold

They'd dig for silver

And for gold

And leave the empty holes

And way down south in the Everglades

Where the black water rolls

And the saw grass waves

The eagles fly

And the otters play

In the land of the Seminole

So blow

Blow

Seminole wind

Blow like you're never gonna blow again

I'm callin’ to you like a long lost friend

But I know who you are

And blow

Blow

From the Okeechobee

All the way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligators

And the gar

And progress came and took its toll

And in the name of flood control

They made their plans

And they drained the land

Now the glades are going dry

And the last time I walked in the swamp

I sat upon a Cypress stump

I listened close

And I heard the ghost

Of Osceola cry

So blow

Blow

Seminole wind

Blow like you're never gonna blow again

I'm callin’ to you like a long lost friend

But I know who you are

And blow

Blow

From the Okeechobee

All the way up to Micanopy

Blow across the home of the Seminole

The alligators

And the gar

Homeward Bound

Simon & Garfunkel

I'm sittin' in the railway station

Got a ticket for my destination

Hmm hmm

On a tour of one-night stands

My suitcase and guitar in hand

And every stop is neatly planned

For a poet and one-man band

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home

Where my thoughts are escapin’

Home

Where my music's playin’

Home

Where my love lies waitin’

Silently for me

Every day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines

Hmm hmm

And each town looks the same to me

The movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I see

Reminds me that I long to be

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home

Where my thoughts are escapin’

Home

Where my music's playin’

Home

Where my love lies waitin’

Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again

I'll play the game and pretend

Hmm hmm

But all my words come back to me

In shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony

I need someone to comfort me

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home

Where my thoughts are escapin’

Home

Where my music's playin’

Home

Where my love lies waitin’

Silently for me

Silently for me

Mama, I’m Coming Home

Ozzy Osbourne

Times have changed

And times are strange

Here I come

But I ain’t the same

Mama

I'm comin' home

Times go by

It seems to be

You could have been

A better friend to me

Mama

I'm comin' home

You took me in

And you drove me out

Yeah you had me hypnotized

Yeah

Lost and found

And turned around

By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry

You told me lies

But I can't stand to say goodbye

Mama

I'm comin' home

I could be right

I could be wrong

It hurts so bad

It's been so long

Mama

I'm comin' home

Selfish love

Yeah we’re both alone

The ride before the fall

Yeah

But I'm gonna take this heart of stone

I just got to have it all

I've seen your face

A hundred times

Every day we've been apart

And I don't care about the sunshine

Yeah

‘Cause mama

Mama

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home

You took me in

And you drove me out

Yeah you had me hypnotized

Yeah

Lost and found

And turned around

By the fire in your eyes

I've seen your face a thousand times

Every day we've been apart

And I don't care about the sunshine

Yeah

‘Cause mama

Mama

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home
