ATF: Partly Cloudy

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.



Riders on the Storm
The Doors
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road
Yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man
Yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm



Ridin’ the Storm Out
REO Speedwagon
Ridin' the storm out
Waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night
In the rocky mountain winter
My wine bottle's low
Watching for the snow
I’ve been thinkin’ lately about
What I'm missing in the city

And I'm
Not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out

My lady's beside me
She's there to guide me
She says that alone
We've finally found our home
The wind outside is frightning
But it's kinder than the lightning
Life in the city
It's a hard life to live
But it gives back what you give

And I'm
Not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out

Ridin' the storm out
Waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night
In the rocky mountain winter
My wine bottle's low
Watching for the snow
And I’ve been thinkin’ lately
About what I've been missing in the city

And I'm
Not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out

  2. Always loved the Doors. One of my old bands did Riding the Storm Out, but the other singer got to do it. :(

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Silver Fox!!! Yeah, but you got to sing lead on Styx covers--right?

  3. I just realized that my comment might have implied that I thought The Doors did Ridin' the Storm Out! I know better, of course.

    1. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Silver Fox!!! "They" say that denial is a sure sign of taking practice senior moments way too seriously.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Me, too. Be assured that there are more from them on the list. That is, of course, if I can get to it. Sigh.
