Glen Campbell's "Galveston" has always given me goose-bumps

[Skittles]

still does

[Arugula Latte]

1. Great song -- and an anti-war anthem to boot

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run

Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

[undeterred]

2. Wichita Lineman does it for me

I am a lineman for the county.
And I drive the mainroad.
Lookin' in the sun for another overload.

I hear you singing in the wire.
I can hear you thru the whine.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

I know I need a small vacation.
But it don't look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south,
won't ever stand the strain.

And I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

3. Both songs written by the brilliant Jimmy Webb....

You gotta check out Johnny A's version of Wichita Lineman. http://www.johnnya.com/music.htm

4. Let me second that "brilliant" in reference to Jimmy Webb

because it's so true
"By The Time I Get to Phoenix" is another great one
and Campbell was no slouch at singing them

thanks for the Johnny A heads up

[Skittles]

5. OMG Mr. Webb is one talented guy

I love that song too, and the lineman song
