2 Week Old Biskit


She had a 2 week old biscuit, on the floor of her car
A bent Pepsi can, an old scratch off card
Paint on the seat covers, everthang had it's scar.
Half eaten breakfast, and a magical jar.

As I rolled one we laughed, and for a while we would talk
About our old friends ,that made their last walk
We talked of the past, and a future for a while
And I Drove away a thinkin, it's sure nice to smile

She carries my heart in her pocket
Use to be here on my sleeve
Pretty sure that it's still a beatin
Getting hard for me to breathe
She got a heart of gold, just sayin
Little bit in her hair, you can see
She's pushing my soul towards heaven
where together we'll always be.


We're both getting older, there's no guaranty
We'll see one another, or maybe eternity.
I cried as I wrote, like cut with a knife
I'll remember that day, for the rest of my life.

She carries my heart in her pocket
Use to be here on my sleeve
Pretty sure that it's still a beatin
Getting hard for me to breathe
She got a heart of gold, just sayin
Little bit in her hair, you can see
She's pushing my soul towards heaven
where together we'll always be.

HI Tommy,

A little different but most enjoyable! This might sound odd, but to us this might be characterized as a country version of Leon Redbone. Great listen. Love the originality and delivery of the song. Kudos!

Thanks Scott! This all happened last Friday, when I saw a woman I knew from 38 years ago. She paints murals, some of which are listed in the US Library of Congress. I was looking on the internet and found some of hers here. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/5e/55/cc/5e55cc2126f5a0f3c4db484a973bd15a.jpg

Great stuff, Tom! Love the lyrics. The vocal delivery is absolutely perfect -- really carries the story along well.

Wow, Tommy! This is a side of you we don't always see! You are not only the master of humorous songs and blazing blues solos, you are also the man when it comes to classic country!

I like the imagery and the background story! And of course, those pedal steel licks are a good fit for the song too!

if we awarded biskits as quality achievements, this would get 10 out of 10 possible biskits!
