Do you write your texts down first or is this all spontaneous?

I grew up in the city so I never heard of that :)

DOG FACE BRIDGE
It was late at night, October 1953
Wind howling, branches humming, leaves raining down from every tree
I was trying to tune the radio, but the signal seemed to shift and fade.
Bits of news from the Korean War, prisoners, whispers of atrocity,
Just then I heard a fearsome racket from the road down by the Kankakee,
The night Howard DeSabatine crashed his Chevy out on Dog Face Bridge.

My Dad appeared at the doorway, he said, “Call the sheriff right away,
“Howard D” and Linda just flew by, like bats to hell, I’m going to see if they’re okay,
He’s nothing but an aggravation, he’s no damn good if you ask me.”
My Mom said, “Better hurry out there Robert, they might be needing help right away,
It’s windy, cold and lonely tonight down by the Kankakee.”
The night Howard DeSabatine crashed his Chevy out on Dog Face Bridge.

My sister said, “You know, I think Daddy’s right, Howie’s just plain hard and mean,
Why just this morning Linda phoned me up, saying they had a terrible fight,
She said he kicked out Kansas, drove down to the swamp and shoved him out the door,
She was just a girl when she got that dog, she’d had him seven years or more.
I told her I saw Kansas, lonely and lost last night on the road down by the Kankakee.”
The night before Howard DeSabatine crashed his Chevy out on Dog Face Bridge.

No, it wasn’t long at all, my Dad came back in looking awful pale and kinda’ small,
He never said much about what he saw that night
But the schoolyard buzzed with the lurid tale alright
Howard D, he walked away from that crash, saying he had no memory
But Linda’s arm was tangled in the steering wheel,
Her neck was severed by the windshield glass
They found a collie’s headless body sprawled thirty feet out in the swampy grass
They said they heard a howling through the misty moonlight over Dog Face Bridge.

Some people say seeing is believing.
Well, I don’t know about you,
But I’ve seen a few…
Things.
I don’t want to believe.

That was a long time ago, the road is only lonelier because the bridge fell down,
Sometimes around Halloween kids looking for a thrill venture out from town.
They say that if you stand just so, you’ll see a woman’s body with the head of a dog
Beckon like Anubis from the water’s down below, but me, I don’t go,
I can’t stand the sound of wind whistling through the trees
I never drive alone on that road down to the Kankakee, I don’t want to see
The place where Howard DeSabatine crashed his Chevy out on Dog Face Bridge.
Out on Dog Face Bridge.

Reminiscing.... How times change......

•Telegraph* device to obtain water ( H2O )
•Indoor Plumbing, or lack thereof...Toilet n Tub ( H2O )
•Perception of change

*Wish I had a pic to show of this old mountain 'telegraph' device.... Worth seeing if it's still there... Located on Mrs. Royalty's family home place on Fiddler Creek Road... From Bedford take Rt. 122 south, turn right at Sign Rock onto Dickerson Mill Rd....in just a few miles turn right onto Fiddler Creek Rd....the Royalty home place is /was uphill on the left. 

:) Forgot to mention in this track....the outhouse was when we lived in the little white house with the big tree at the driveway ( near Happy Drive)...  one day.... after leaving the back porch running flat out in a hurry,.... my bro tripped on the cement porch steps while en route to empty the porcelain pot... yeah, his worst nightmare... he got soaked...very funny to me, NOT funny at all to him ....shhh, don't tell him you heard it from me :)

~~~Reason for change... 
.....this thought provoking song verse speaks to reminiscing about change...

"If ever you need we can listen to the memories
And try to remember whenever we go back
Time marches on....
Everywhere we've gone
There must be a reason for that....
Forget about the past
It will never last
Everything 
Everything Has A Reason"
