What's in a Word?

Introduction

Paradise

The bottom just dropped out of my world.
Right there at Montano's Market & feed store
at the bottom of paradise,
Highway 666
Heaven is behind me, curved and steep
-I can feel your beauty surround me.
-Oh Gratitude, you are my mother


The bottom just fell out of my world.
The long drive home is straight ahead.
I want to turn around, back into the curves
-I can feel your beauty all around me.
-Oh Gratitude you are my father.


The bottom just fell out of my world.
I pulled over just enough to write this down
Rocking on the shoulder
Traffic pushing air
On the right side of the road.
-I can feel your beauty surround me.
-Oh Gratitude, you are my lover.


It only took a minute to fall in love.
It took three hours to drive through Sonic Burger
The roaming bundle did not work all week
On hold listening to elevator music
-I can feel your beauty surround me.
-Oh Gratitude, you are my brother.


Big brother is listening, for training purposes
The engine runs great
Purrs like a kitten
Heaven is behind me
On the road to that place
I used to call home
-I can feel your beauty surround me.
-Oh Gratitude, you are my savior.
