Duration: 3 min 53 s
Description: The 50s were the best...guess I'm partial.

When we moved recently I redid my music space. The photo is but a sampling. The story that it told was begging for a song.


SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE


That little yellow record spun inside my head

I was a ropin’ cowboy with a badge on my chest

From the Big Rock Candy Mountain to Red River Valley

I could tame the wild, wild west

Elvis and Buddy Holly packed their 45s 

With sounds that made me dance across the floor

That big hole in the middle made me feel much bigger

In ways I was destined to explore . . . I wanted to hear more


The music in those grooves is the soundtrack of my life

It conjures up things I clearly see

My favorite records helped shape my memories


Sweet old melodies always spoke to me

Tin Pan Alley sure could milk a rhyme

On Top of Old Smoky and Swanee River songs

Take me far away back in time

The Beatles they blew in from a different place

Opened up our ears and eyes, but

Dylan was the wind, Shakespeare in a song

Like a second coming in disguise . . . oh what a grand surprise!


The music in those grooves is the soundtrack of my life

It conjures up things I clearly see

My favorite records helped shape my memories


Now my words and guitar are the soundtrack of my life

They conjure up things I clearly see

Songs shape my memories…and write my history

I struggled with saying this just the right way.  Writing this one was truly a journey. Thanks for listening.
