I need a Boat for my Pony

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I need a Boat for my Pony

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

With all the caddies in the barn, the ponies have nowhere to sleep except for the boat.

And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye

Lyle's the best.

Back in the 80's, I used to see Lyle Lovett at the breakfast counter at the Delux Burger Bar in College Station. Little did I know then that I was in the presence of greatness.

Another great Texas songwriter

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now
You're gonna wanna hold me
Just like I've always told you
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Nobody here will ever find me
But I will always be around
Just like the songs I leave behind me
I'm gonna live forever now

You fathers and you mothers
Be good to one another
Please try to raise your children right
Don't let the darkness take 'em
Don't make 'em feel forsaken
Just lead 'em safely to the light

When this old world is blown us under
And all the stars fall from the sky
Remember someone really loves you
We'll live forever you and I

Did you ever bump into Robert Earl Keen?

*edit* Oops, sorry--missed the "breakfast" part. Robert Earl would still be sleeping it off.

I must have, as they used to hang out on Lyle's front porch and play songs according to a friend that lived near them, but I do not recall. Lyle and that huge ass hair was hard to forget.

BTW, I rode my road bike, one of the first bonded Trek 1000's to the Delux quite a bit. *

*obligatory bike reference.

Yeah, I understand they used to startle folks leaving the church across the street. Would've been quite a sight.

You rang?

Look
I understand too little too late
I realize there are things you say and do
You can never take back
But what would you be if you didn't even try
You have to try
So after a lot of thought
I'd like to reconsider
Please
If it's not too late
Make it a cheeseburger
