Oh! How I miss him! I was introduced to Tom T's music way back in the early 1970s when I worked on oil rigs in the North Sea and at that time the majority crews were expats from the US who brought their music with them. "OLD T's IN TOWN" was the very first album I heard, though it was cassettes in those days. Then came "SOLDIER OF FORTUNE" and I was totally hooked. He then seemed to sing my life over and over again in the following years and albums. Oh! How I miss him!
You ask me how I'm doin', friend Well I will tell you true I guess I shouldn't say this 'Cause I've had a drink or two But I was just now looking back on other days and times And this ain't exactly what I had in mind. Now everybody's saying hey What's with this stupid guy In all his dreams it seems He's always reaching for the sky But you know me calls for three And I show up with nine Well, it ain't exactly what I had in mind. ++++++++++++++ Ah, it seems like only yesterday when I was just a kid I always thought I had to be the best at what I did I was always looking for a mountain I could climb And this ain't exactly what I had in mind. Remember when we won the game that was in '62 And we bet all our money And we gave a few points too And Bo went deep and caught the pass And Bubba held the line Well, this ain't exactly what I had in mind. ++++++++++++ Like Eisenhower you know that I have always loved my wife And some say we should never Try to make a deal with life But you know me I'm just a fool Here crying in my wine But this ain't exactly what I had in mind. Hey, to tell the truth Did you believe we'd ever come this far Remember when our big ambition was to own a car Why, I oughta have my butt kicked I've been lucky, life's been kind But this ain't exactly what I had in mind. It just ain't exactly what I had in mind.....
@no serious guys till your thirty 10 months sober and I'm feeling a lot better with no hangovers and still got money in my pocket at the end of each week. Maybe 50 yrs to late but some say better late than never.
@no serious guys till your thirty The Lord is my shepherd. 10 months no alcohol, 16 yrs no smoke, ganga or tobacco, 20+ yrs no needles, I've had some learning to do. "Life can be hard and life can be tough but I tell you now I ain't had enough." Yes, I've got a bit more learning to do.
