This lyric has a strong blues or country music potential. I had a song melody in my head when it was written, but I’m not a songwriter. If a musicial inspiration gets to your guitar or piano, let me know. I’m always looking for a good song writer.
I‘m Gettin’ Gone
(introduction)
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout us, girl,
And sometimes it’s been good,
But sometimes it gets bad,
And now it makes me sad
To think I’m gettin’ gone.
I’m gettin’ gone.
Well , I’ve thought about it,
Just a little bit more,
And I won’t be comin’ back
Once I get through that door.
I must be free, like a buffalo roams,
And let the wide open spaces
Become my new home.
I think I’m gettin’ gone.
I’m gettin’ gone.
(bridge)
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout us, girl,
And sometimes it’s been good,
But sometimes it gets bad,
And now it makes me sad
To think I’m gettin’ gone.
I’m gettin’ gone.
It’s all up to you, girl, for
Us to have a second chance.
It’s the things you do to me
That spell disaster or romance.
I haven’t made my mind up,
But my decision’s comin’ fast.
I’ve given all I can give, and now
It is up to you to make it last.
I think I’ll be gettin’ gone.
I’m gettin’ gone.
(Minor bridge)
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout us, girl,
And sometimes it’s been good,
But sometimes it gets bad,
And now it makes me sad
To think I’m gettin’ gone.
I’m gettin’ gone.
Amor sensual

Amor sensual
Me ven como si fuera la primera vez,
y redescubrir mi llamamiento.
Me toque con los dedos lentamente,
y quisiera saber cómo te sientes.
Dime sus palabras de sabiduría,
y dolor en mi alma sanará.
Me gusto, mis labios cumplir la suya,
y celebramos la comida.
Mi olor, por el cuerpo es dulce,
y la experiencia es real.
Aujourd’hui, j’ai reçu un coup double de votre amour.
Nous avons fait l’amour le matin et le soir,
La façon dont nous ressentons les uns des autres
Me fait sentir bien dedans, et je sais
Que les choses s’arrangeront Just right
Avec un coup double de votre amour.
Je l’avoue, il y avait certaines choses
Que je connais ont eu tort,
J’ai probablement entre eux n’ont trop longtemps.
Avant je n’étais pas vraiment sûr juste
Comment nous avons été bien s’entendre;
Mais maintenant les choses vont mieux,
Et je chante cette chanson.
Aujourd’hui, j’ai reçu un coup double de votre amour.
Nous avons fait l’amour le matin et le soir,
La façon dont nous ressentons les uns des autres
Me fait sentir bien dedans, et je sais
Que les choses s’arrangeront Just right
Avec un coup double de votre amour.
Maintenant que je sais que j’ai une deuxième chance,
Notre amour sera mieux cette fois.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi les choses se sont passées
Comme ils le faisaient, je ne vois pas les signes.
Tout au long de l’expérience présente,
Ton amour pour moi f a bien,
Je pourrais chercher le monde et de savoir
il n’y a jamais aimer mieux que j’ai pu trouver.
Aujourd’hui, j’ai reçu un coup double de votre amour.
Nous avons fait l’amour le matin et le soir,
La façon dont nous ressentons les uns des autres
Me fait sentir bien dedans, et je sais
Que les choses s’arrangeront Just right
Avec un coup double de votre amour.

Today I got a double shot of your love.
We made love in the morning and at night,
The way we feel about each other
Makes me feel good inside, and I know
That things will work out just right
With a double shot of your love.
I admit there were some things
That I know were wrong,
I probably did them too long.
Before I really wasn’t sure just
How well we were getting along,
But now things are getting better,
And I’m singing this song.
Today I got a double shot of your love.
We made love in the morning and at night,
The way we feel about each other
Makes me feel good inside, and I know
That things will work out just right
With a double shot of your love.
Now that I know I have a second chance,
Our love will be better this time.
I don’t know why things happened
Like they did; I didn’t see the signs.
All throughout the this experience,
Your love for f me has been kind,
I could search the world and know
there is never a better love I could find.
Today I got a double shot of your love.
We made love in the morning and at night,
The way we feel about each other
Makes me feel good inside, and I know
That things will work out just right
With a double shot of your love.

He was a rebel who wanted to be free.
He claimed as his all he could see.
His gang convinced those who didn’t agree.
He was young and full of opportunity.
He was a legend in his own time.
She was a beauty who didn’t have a care.
Everything she ever needed was there.
Her signature was her beautiful long brown hair.
She was taught life was always fair.
She was a legend in her own time.
One strange day their worlds did collide,
and their smiles seeded a love they couldn’t hide.
Secrets shared couldn’t cover the said lies.
She cut her hair as a point of new-found pride.
She was a legend in her own time.
They decided to elope and they were married.
However there was a silent killer he carried,
an unknown gift from the drugs he traded.
On the first night alone, he gave her AIDS.
They were a legend in their own time.
She was with child, and she was very pleased,
but it was delivered with the deadly disease.
The baby had several problems medically, and
it soon became a great burden financially.
The baby was a legend in its own time.
Her parents didn’t want to lose their baby, too.
She was 17, and there was one thing to do –
accept him as a son and they a pair, a two.
They had to work together to get her better soon.
Her parents were a legend in their own time.
He had witnessed the errors in his ways, and
knew he could not return to his old gang days.
He discovered life is merely a debt to be paid,
and he had another family in the gang’s place.
He was a legend in his own time.
As they got together, she continued to get worse,
and they banded to fight man’s new social curse.
Medicines cost them to dig deep into their purse,
They supported efforts to raise money to find a cure.
They were a legend in their own time.
Then early on a bright sunny Saturday, just a
week before she’d celebrate her 19th birthday,
the girl died of complications due to AIDS.
They tried to reason why this was a better place.
She was a legend in her own time.

His expanded family warranted a double cabin home, which exhibits a breezway or that pioneers call a “dog trot.” This home is on display at the Rockport Lincoln Pioneer Village in Rockport, Indiana.

There once was a rich man
who was so fat that
his pants wouldn’t fit.
The button above the zipper
popped off with a “blink”
when he started to sit.
The button disappeared.
It was nowhere to be found.
The butler was immediately
told to find another button
at the taylor in tovm.
There once was a poor man
who found a used pair of pants.
This wardrobe was so thin,
he had to make his weekly wage last.
The button on the front
somehow had been lost with time
He had to replace it, but
then he didn’t have a dime.
A button, just like the one
needed on the front, was
sevm on one of the back pockets.
The man smiled with a grunt.
With a knife and a little thread,
the back button was fasteened fast
to the front of the pants.
The butler did his job, and
got his master’s trousers fixed.
Now the taylor was on the rich
man’s accounts payable list.
This is a story of a rich
man and a poor man, and a
front button which was lost.
The moral of the story 1S
the unit’s replacement cost.
The rich. man had a bill to pay,
while the poor man was able
to get dressed to work another day.
