I was reminded of this song yesterday. I got lucky and happened upon it. This is for my Mom and Dad. They haven't been able to hear the records for quite some time (I'm certain of that because they are sitting in my bedroom), so this is for them. May the memories flood your soul!
Unless I am badly mistaken, this was always one of my Mom's favorite songs. If it wasn't, it sure got played about as often, when I was a kid, as I play Priscilla McGruder at my house. And now, the memory is a very sweet one for me. I love this song! Laura get the Kleenex out. I promise you'll need it.

Oh, my goodness...I can still remember the one little place where it skipped on the record. Did you notice the line "I really can't turn back some may be using my tracks"? I never realized that is what it said. You know I always had a way of "re-organizing" the lyrics if I didn't understand them...this must have been one such song. I can understand why Dad & Mom listened to it so much - the words are awesome! Thanks so much for the memory (and for the depletion of my Kleenex stash!). I love you!
Oh, the memories! Yes, that was one of my favorites. And I enjoyed hearing it tonight as much as I did back then. Thanks for sharing, Skeet.
so beautiful, so true, so encouraging, thank you!
