1. Great song -- and an anti-war anthem to boot |
|
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin' I still see her dark eyes glowin' She was 21 when I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water Standing there lookin' out to sea And is she waiting there for me? On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying Before I dry the tears she's crying Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun At Galveston, at Galveston

2. Wichita Lineman does it for me |
|
I am a lineman for the county. And I drive the mainroad. Lookin' in the sun for another overload.
I hear you singing in the wire. I can hear you thru the whine. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line.
I know I need a small vacation. But it don't look like rain. And if it snows that stretch down south, won't ever stand the strain.
And I need you more than want you. And I want you for all time. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line.

4. Let me second that "brilliant" in reference to Jimmy Webb |
|
because it's so true "By The Time I Get to Phoenix" is another great one and Campbell was no slouch at singing them
thanks for the Johnny A heads up
