Default "The Restoration Blues"...

To all you fine folks in FCR...

"I got the restoration blues.
Tryin' to play by all the rules.
Sent my bumpers out for rechrome.
Now my wife has got her own home.
I got the restoration blues.

Who was the Canadian singer/songwriter who did this one? :)
Danny O'Keefe resides in the beautiful state of Washington.....but I guess that is close to heaven, isn't it. :D

Speaking of closer to heaven, here's a little ditty that helped to bridge the gap between country and rock....sorta Rock-a-billy.

I never drive my Vette now.
It sits trailered in the yard.
It's worth too darn much money.
It needs it's own armed guard.
Sage words indeed.
