[corrigan43071]

Hey Tom!Really enjoyed the song, don't think I ever heard it before tho....listened to Roy's poem about your trip.I don't think you ever told me that story.

I think I'm going to see if I can still learn your songs by ear. I'll let you know how that comes out. Take care my old friend, John Crumet

[NewOrleansWoman]

Big thanks for the opportunity to give us a short glimpse behind the story of the song. T'was very well sang and played. Wishing you one fine day!

Thank you, Vravishing, I appreciate your comments very much. I hope your day is filled with many wonders and new discoveries.

Tom

[leftysergeant]

This addresses something universal among creative people. Realizing at a young age that you needed more space, either physically or mentally, probably expanded your creative range. Certainly, rejecting the idea of change or movement is just contrary to the nature of an artist.

Enjoyed it greatly.

[hhhaller]

I really like this song,more good work.

[tjkoz22]

Thank you, Richard, I hope you have a great week.

Tom

[luvmypeke]

I love this one. You always seem to amaze me. Love the lyrics. Keep them coming. Wanda

[tjkoz22]

Thanks, Wanda. It's good to know you're listening, and it's very nice you like my stuff!

Take care,

Tom

[azurepeepers]

Awesome song and story. Hope you tell the rest I would love to hear it.

[tjkoz22]

Thanks so much, blue eyes, I appreciate your comments. Be sure to see the two video responses to the song. They were written by Roy Bentley, my friend with the 1964 Ford Galaxie.

Tom

[mindovermatter2009]

Hey Tom! I love this one. Roy sent it to me-boy I owe him one. You're great. Whenever I go back to hometown,it never is the same but the memories are.Thank goodness.Left home at 14 and have had more times of my life ever since! Some of my best work was done before I left my childhood and some after I brought it with me.LOL.Wow! I love your song and will visit often Lisa, M.O.M.

[tjkoz22]

Thank you for taking time to listen, Lisa, I really appreciate it! Please do visit again, and glad you liked the song.

[sistianatube]

how is possible that you wrote this such nice song when you were just 16?? congrats!! love it

[tjkoz22]

THank you, Sistiana, I'm glad you like this one!

[twohawksfucking]

If I might be so bold as to respond to this: I was there when Tom was 16, and he was as clearly one-of-a-kind then as now.

If you were 17 and heard this come flying out of the mouth of your closest friend, what would you think? I thought I was one lucky sonofa--you guessed it!

Roy

[ZiOFrAnCk65]

This song is delight to the ears.Happy Valentine's day

[tjkoz22]

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

I think we all know the feeling of wanting to leave, fly to wherever we want to fly

Hehe, looking forward to hear the rest of the story

Thank you Harry

[marycigarettes]

Absolutely!

Thanks Mary, I should have you produce my next CD

Thanks for taking time to comment.

Tom

[IvyBedouin9]

Beautiful song, from the sweet melody to the lyrics.I really like the part that goes: "Did I tell you that tomorrow I must leave again, I left my hometown long ago." I find that to be very true, once you uproot yourself from home it becomes easier to always be on the road. The first time is always the most difficult. Thank you for sharing it, it was a wonderful glimpse of a day in the life of a talented 16 year-old. I really like how you expressed the visions of gold through the fields of grain.

[tjkoz22]

Thank you, Ivy. It's easy to forget how daunting it is to leave the nest and be tested by the world, and yet sometimes it feels like we face that 'leaving' everyday of our lives.

[suuzzee5]

That's some really deep thinking for a 16 year old! Very impressive! I like the song a lot and can definitely see a 70s road trip happening in this one. :)

[tjkoz22]

Hello Suze! Nice to see you again, and I'm glad you liked the tune. That's one road trip I will never forget!

Tom

[suuzzee5]

Nice to see you also, Tom!! Your music is wonderful! I have lost touch with so many people since the share feature got discontinued. YouTube/Google has all but ruined the site and that is fairly typical of all sites that partner with Google.

[tjkoz22]

Thanks for the kind words, Suze.

Yes, they have made it all but impossible to share with one another! We just have to work a little harder at it.

Tom

[jimmymccombs]

NICE SONG MAN

[tjkoz22]

Thanks, Jimmy

[PaulBradford13]

this has a cool 1960's folk rock vibe. quite a song for a 16 year old to write.

5*****

Paul

[1467unschool]

Excellent, as always!

[proofisinthepudding]

I have heard your song before ,but not on here .I am not sure where.I really like this song!:)5 stars and faved

[tjkoz22]

I'm glad you like the song, but I hope you haven't heard it before, because I've never recorded it!

Tom

[proofisinthepudding]

It should have been when you wrote its an excellent song!:)

[tayloreh]

when did you write your first song?

[tjkoz22]

I was around 9 yrs old (before I played the guitar)

[pili2255]

Truly awesome!!! 5*****

[tjkoz22]

Thank you!

[twohawksfucking]

(I got that wrong, didn't I? It was 1971, wasn't it...)

Roy

[tjkoz22]

Roy,

April 1971, is the date I have on the original copy of the song. Can you believe it's been that long?!? I don't remember playing it in a car, but maybe it WAS on the Santa Fe trip...You must do a poem for YT, man!

Tom

[twohawksfucking]

You played this for me in 1970, Tom; I think it was in Dustshiner... or in the Galaxie, I can't remember which--but it was in a car that I first heard this.

What a find for me!--thank you, my friend.

Roy

[hhhaller]
