I used to have to walk in the freezing rain

[MoseyWalker]

to the outhouse that was 3 miles away. And. It was uphill both ways. And. I was just a kid, but they made me drive the bus to school. And. They used to keep the windows open because it made us tougher.

Can you beat that?

2. I'm loyal to my local dial up provider

so youtube doesn't like me.

Thanks for responding, though I'll never know what is there!

4. well then, this is the best I can do...

Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Dont know why youd run,
What youre running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home

So Im walking in the rain,
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely kentucky backroad
Ive loved you much too long
And my loves too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up aheads another town
That Ill go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for you
In the cold kentucky rain,
In the cold kentucky rain

Showed your photograph
To some old gray bearded man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a genral store
They said yes, shes been here
But their memory wasnt clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before

So I finly got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That Id find you

3. I was 17 before I found out that

EVERYBODY did NOT sleep on a bed of nails.

5. we used to live in a shoebox in a septic tank.

6. At least you had a shoebox

we used to sometimes have to eat a lot of salt so we could float.

7. Summer on grandpa's farm we had to battle our way through

a plague of grasshoppers higher than your head to get to the outhouse,
and grandma gave us showers in the dairy barn with a hose.
