    Rocket

  • Well you dont have to be a 'rocket scientist' either.But it all helps

  • Cool song sir! Good lesson in the song. It's funny how people can loose their minds so quickly. I guess it depends on how people are brought up.

    "Highway on his mind" "heartful of ashes" -good images.

    Never heard this song before.

    I like your voice too, it's distinct.

  • Thanks very much Osvaldo, I appreciate it my friend. It's easy to lose your mind..The hard part is staying sane through our day to day struggles..Not a well known song,but I have always liked the images in it also..Rock on Buddy : )
