Joe Ferguson forever Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 If you were falling, then I would catch you. You need a light, I'd find a match. Cause I love the way you say good morning. And you take me the way I am. If you are chilly, here take my sweater. Your head is aching, I'll make it better. Cause I love the way you call me baby. And you take me the way I am. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair. Sew on patches to all you tear. Cause I love you more than I could ever promise. And you take me the way I am. You take me the way I am.

Still remember. No clue if he still performs. Saw him in the 80's - twice as an undergrad at my college and once with friends post grad, always a fun night. The post grad show was at a comedy club and recorded to VCR/DVD cuz someone we knew rented it and told us our table was in a close up crowd shot, LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 And then I heard it like a shot from my skull to my brain I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me This ramshackle voice over attack of a blues beat Tellin' me "He's only looking for fun" And this was the sound of the very last gang in town As heard by my wild young heart like directions on a cold dark night Sayin' "Let it out, let it out, let it out You're doin' all right" And I heard it in his chain gang soul How it wasn't just the same sad song Sayin' "Let it out, let it out, let it out You're doin' all right" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
