"Crazy Woman Creek runs through my yard"

OMG! Are we neighbors??!?

Love that line......

and the "west" one too - being a Doors fan smile

"Waiting's not what I would choose
Sometimes you win but mostly you lose"

I kind of understood the second line here to be referring to the first. And I agree. If waiting is involved, most times you lose. In my experience anyway smile

Lyrically, I think this is very strong, Ricki. Musically, I share your concern that if you try to change it much, you'll lose the feel. It's got a good feel now.

I used to judge photographic competitions. Each judge had about 5 seconds to score an image. The ones that won were the ones that jumped out and grabbed you.

But if you stuck one of those on your wall, you'd be tired of it after a day or two.

There's something to be said for a picture (and a song) that sneaks up on you. This one snuck up on me...
