Nuthin’ to see here, move along…

Hi y’all,

I may or may not be out of the office most of the day, so there won’t be a lot posted. Unless my appointments get moved around, or something like that.

Last night I stayed up way past my bedtime, blogging, chatting, reading some great e-mails, and generally just messing around. And when I finally get to bed, I have dreams sorta like this.

Go figure!

OK, I didn’t go out, and dance, or anything fun, but stil…

Well could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night?
Now I’m feelin’ like I usually do after I feel alright
I don’t wanna hear another word about mornin’
I can’t take the light
Well could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night?

You see there’s something inside this world that’s gone so wrong
There’s a gap between the rich and the poor a million miles long
I dig the fact that you and your friends wanna stand up and make it right
But could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night?

I was down at the bar like the fool I am
Dancin’ on the table to Son of Slam
I met a whole lotta people that I still don’t know
I just rolled in an hour ago
Could you try to keep it down?
Try to keep it down…
Try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night

solo

I don’t wanna hear about this Lollapalooza tour
Man I just woke up and where I am I couldn’t say for sure
I ain’t the kinda guy to come and break all your records
But then again I might…
Well could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night?

I was down at the bar like the fool I am

Could you try to keep it down?
Try to keep it down…
Try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
Try to keep it down…
Try to keep it down…
Well could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night?
Yeah

Well could you try to keep it down?
Try to keep it down…
Well could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last…
I was up all night last night!

Work This Out
J. Ingram/J. Lauderdale

I really want to work this out
Is there something I’ve got to do
Tell me how to make this right
‘Cause I’ve got to get through to you

If I could find the right thing to say
That would finally take away your doubt
We can’t throw this away
I really want to work this out

Tell me there’s one thing I can’t do again
I won’t do that again
That something we’re missing, we’ll find it again

I really want to work this out
Right here and now
Before we have to be apart
Before we make the same mistakes again

I really want to find a place
Stop wasting all this time
I guess what this is all about
Is I really want to work this out

Hunting up trouble

A couple of guys are out in the woods hunting when one of them suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head.

The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, “I think Bubba is dead! What should I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, “Just take it easy and follow my instructions. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There is a silence .. and then a shot is heard.

The guy’s voice comes back on the line, “Okay, now what?”
