Song Lyrics - Don't Go Stringing My Junk Around - Take 2

 Verse 1: I woke up this morning, found my stuff in a mess,

You took my heart and left me in distress.
My guitar’s out of tune, my clothes on the ground,
Baby, don’t go stringin’ my junk around.

Chorus: Don’t go stringin’ my junk around,
You’re messin’ with my heart, you’re tearin’ me down.
I thought we had a love so sound,
But now you’re just stringin’ my junk around.

Verse 2: You took my favorite shirt, and my old blue jeans,
Left me with nothin’ but broken dreams.
My records are scratched, my books are all torn,
Baby, why’d you leave me so forlorn?

Chorus: Don’t go stringin’ my junk around,
You’re messin’ with my heart, you’re tearin’ me down.
I thought we had a love so sound,
But now you’re just stringin’ my junk around.

Bridge: I gave you my all, my love and my trust,
But you turned it to dust, you turned it to dust.
Now I’m pickin’ up pieces, tryin’ to move on,
But the memory of you, it lingers on.

Chorus: Don’t go stringin’ my junk around,
You’re messin’ with my heart, you’re tearin’ me down.
I thought we had a love so sound,
But now you’re just stringin’ my junk around.

Outro: So here’s to the future, I’m lettin’ you go,
Gonna find a new love, gonna take it slow.
No more heartache, no more lost and found,
And no more stringin’ my junk around.

Song Lyrics - Drive It Fast

Think of this one in the tune of The Rolling Stones Paint It Black. 

(Verse 1)

I see a road, long and straight

Sun sinkin' low, it's gettin' late

Got a full tank, and a need for speed

Gonna push this engine, plant that seed

Of asphalt blurrin', world flyin' by

Just the highway and I

(Chorus)

I'm gonna drive it fast, yeah, drive it hard

Leave all my troubles in my rearview shard

No time for lookin' back, gotta keep movin' on

With this wind in my hair, 'til the break of dawn

(Verse 2)

The engine roars, a hungry beast

Devourin' miles, a speedin' feast

No destination, just the open wide

This freedom's call, I cannot hide

The world's a streak, of painted lines

Lost in the rhythm, of these engine whines

(Chorus)

I'm gonna drive it fast, yeah, drive it hard

Leave all my troubles in my rearview shard

No time for lookin' back, gotta keep movin' on

With this wind in my hair, 'til the break of dawn

(Bridge)

Stars are out, the moon is bright

Guiding my way, through the velvet night

This highway's mine, my escape so sweet

With every mile, I feel the heat

Of the engine burnin', my spirit free

Just the road and me

(Chorus)

I'm gonna drive it fast, yeah, drive it hard

Leave all my troubles in my rearview shard

No time for lookin' back, gotta keep movin' on

With this wind in my hair, 'til the break of dawn

(Outro)

Drive it fast, drive it fast

Gonna make this feeling last

Drive it fast, into the night

Holdin' on with all my might

Drive it fast, yeah, drive it free

Just the open road and me

Song Lyrics - Don't Go Stringing My Junk Around

 (Verse 1) Met you on a summer night, Sparks flew, everything felt right. But now you're acting cold and strange, Leaving me in emotional range.

(Chorus) Don't go stringing my junk around, Playing games, messing with my crown. I deserve honesty, not this disguise, So let me go, open up my eyes.

(Verse 2) Your words are sweet, but actions deceive, Leading me on, I can't believe. Tired of waiting, hoping you'll change, This heartache, I can't rearrange.

(Chorus) Don't go stringing my junk around, Playing games, messing with my crown. I deserve honesty, not this disguise, So let me go, open up my eyes.

(Bridge) I'm giving up on this twisted game, Your love's a flame, burning me in shame. No more tears, no more wasted time, I'll find someone who's truly mine.

(Chorus) Don't go stringing my junk around, Playing games, messing with my crown. I deserve honesty, not this disguise, So let me go, open up my eyes.

(Outro) I'm walking away, setting myself free, From this toxic love, you'll never see. I'll find happiness, heal my wounded heart, And never let you tear me apart.

Road Trip: Day 2

And so begins the second day. We made it to the Blue Water Bridge border crossing, connecting Port Huron, Michigan, with Point Edward, Ontario.  It s a vital link between the US and Canada. We found out it is one of the busiest crossings in Ontario, thus we were there for nearly an hour. 

Once we got past it, it was pretty much smooth going until we got close to our hotel. We got stuck in Lake Shorw Drive traffic for an hour and a half, just to have Google send us in a circle right back into it. Luckily we were able to get across the traffic and go around to finally reach our destination, The Intercontinental, which is near the CM Tower. 

Once again on to bed. 

Road Trip: Day 1

Day 1: Jefferson City to Joliet, IL

Our road trip from Jefferson City, Missouri to Joliet, Illinois began with a sense of anticipation and excitement as we finished loading up our car and hitting the road shortly after I got off of work, eager to hit the open highway. 

Although darkness quickly presented itself, the rolling hills of Missouri gradually gave way to the flat plains of Illinois.

This part of the trip was originally going to take us to Indianapolis, IN, but Booking.com threw a wrench into that plan when they emailed Shelly that our reservation had been cancelled. 

I'll let Shelly give the scoop on that. 

Driving through Illinois at night seemed vaguely familiar to driving threw Iowa with the red lights blinking atop the windmills. Can't they just leave the lights on? The blinking can be a bit annoying. 

After an evening of driving, we arrived in Joliet around midnight, checked into our hotel and hit the bed.
