What's Your Favorite Road Song?

Gillian Welch - I Dream A Highway

WARNING: This is a 14 1/2 minute video, that might put you to sleep.:):):):) A challenge to listen to it all the way through...an exercise in patience. Phil will probably say:"14 1/2 minutes of my life...GONE FOREVER"! HAHA!


A story about listening to this song...NOT my story: "I was at a bar once and I played this song on the jukebox. It was a pretty crowded night and at about minute 3 I was hearing comments about how slow the song was. Then at 5 minutes the comments were, "this song is still on?" At about 8 minutes the situation turned to desperation. The bar tender couldn't find the remote so she had no way to skip tracks. There was a crowd gathered around the juke box trying to change the song. People were getting so mad my friends and I tried to blend in so no one noticed we were the ones who had put it on! There was a round of applause when it finished. I felt like putting it on again walking out the door. I love Gillian Welch. haha".

Thank you Lenore, for that song of Willie's! I never heard it before and it struck a chord! The highway never ends!:)
 
You're welcome.

I had never heard it either. An old friend of mine a Texan and a Vietmam vet told me he loved it but could not find it. So I searched and searched for it. I found it for him, it struck a personal chord with him too. I liked it because I like Willie. It is a rather haunting song, isn't it. I know I miss spelled his name, I always do. I know another Willie song hardly any one has ever heard but it is not a ROAD song so....
 
The original intro to Star Trek: with lyrics by Gene Roddenberry.

Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.
