I don't have a name for this one yet and there may be a another verse added. fighting a summer chest cold and heading to work tomorrow so may be a few days before I post a recording of it. this song will probably not make sense to most of you but to those that know me it will

(D)                                 (G)         (A)
knew a boy who was torn in half
(A)                   (G)     (A)             (G)       (D)
watched him sail away on a sunken raft

he lost his mind on a sea of dreams
tried to cleanse his soul in a mountain stream

the prodigal son who would not come home
he was bound and chained to the seeds he sown

chorus
(D)      (G)           (A)       (G)                              (D)
not a day goes by         that I don't wonder why
             (G)             (A)                    (G)     (D)
it still makes me blue because every day
            (G)          (D)
I still think of you

he could not deny that mistakes were made
but the token queen he could not persuade

closed his ears and he shut the door
that's when I realized it was never more

now there's a broken branch in the family tree
and a world of love some may never see

chorus

thanks everyone for the positive comments, seems like the older I get the more  questions I have and fewer the answers become. the one thing I know for sure is that we are just blip in the grand scheme of things.
thanks again Amy for the inspiration,

I had not written anything for awhile for various reasons. the other day I was listening to Amy's new song and reading all the post associated with it and sparked something. so thank you Amy for an inspiration.

well the world wont stop when the well runs dry
(G)                                             (D)                  (A)
just keeps on spinning while problems multiply

the world don't care if we fool ourselves
she cant hear the ringing of our bells

she will still be here when the cities turn to dust
and the sun will rise when our dreams have all been crushed

chorus

                       (D)                            (G)                      (A)
because the world goes on no matter what you do

it don't matter what your point of view
(G)                                              (D)                                (A)
because the stars still shine when our time is through


the world goes on when the last king's been crowned
she will still be laughing when the jester's not around

the world wont stop when our children cry
she keeps on spinning while we sing our lullaby's

the world wont stop when the last dollars made
it will keep on turning when the final songs been played

chorus

the world don't care if you loose your way
keeps on turning no matter to who you pray

the world wont stop when we've said our last goodbye
keeps on spinning while the innocent are crucified

the world wont stop when your time is past
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last

nice one Amy

I was KNOCKING around an idea of a song for next month when this show
came ON  tv about subliminal messages and I thought to myself
good HEAVENS that's the song but before I could write it down someone came
to my DOOR and i lost my train of thought
so I'm just going to go along with what ever Roger suggest

here's my go at wagon wheel,
nice job by every one so far
and now for some CCR

I own a T5Z just like the one in the picture , I paid a lot less  than retail at a Taylor road show event. still was not cheap and I would not have bought it but my dear wife bought it for me after I kept going back to it after I would try all the other guitars. it sounds great I cant do it justice with my playing but it is easiest playing guitar I have  ever picked up. come on down to Texas I will let you play it all night

its not the cover song of the month  but I had been working on this one and thought I post it. they say music helps you through the tough times I don't know, when I get down I don't feel like playing but this is a song I can play when I am going through a rough patch

thanks for the positive comments on sound cloud as for those subtle changes that was due to me not knowing the song

here's my 2 cents worth
