Here's a thought, and it beats sitting around contemplating eternity-
Ever hear a song and think, that sounds almost as if it could have been written about Rory? If you have, add it to the thread.
This is the second time in a week that I heard a song, and thought, that could have been written about Rory's life. The first one was Energy Orchard's "Remember My Name," and featured Rory's beautiful guitar work.
I was listening to my iPod while at work today, and Jimi came on- a song I've heard before, but never paid any attention to the lyrics, but this time I heard them, and again, the words made me think- it could be about Rory's life,
Highway Chile-
Yeah, his guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind
Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin
He left home when he was seventeen
The rest of the world he had longed to see
But everybody knows the boss
A rolling stone who gathers no moss
But you'd probably call him a tramp
But it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile, yeah
Now some people say he had a girl back home
Who messed around and did him pretty wrong
They tell me it kinda hurt him bad
Kinda made him feel pretty sad
I couldn't say what went through his mind
Anyway, he left the world behind
But everybody knows the same old story,
In love and war you can't lose in glory
Now you'd probably call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile
Walk on brother, yeah
One more brother
His old guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind
Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin
Now you may call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile
Walk on brother
Don't let no one stop you
Highway chile
Yeah yeah yeah
Highway chile
Go on down the highway
Highway chile
Yeah yeah yeah
Highway chile
