Written for Art??

Post by DeathValleyScotty » 03-04-2015 11:23 PM

Released by Bachman Turner Overdrive in 1973, the second verse in particular describes Art to a "T".

"Blue Collar"

Walk your street
And I'll walk mine
And should we meet
Would you spare me some time?
Cuz you should see my world,
Meet my kind, and before you judge our minds
Blue collar

Sleep your sleep
I'm awake and alive
I keep late hours
You're a nine to five
So I would like you to know
I need the quiet hours to create in this world of mine
Blue collar

I'd like you to know at four in the morning, things are comin' to mind
All I see, all I've done, and those I hope to find
I'd like to remind you at four in the morning my world is very still
The air is fresh under diamond skies, makes me glad to be alive

You keep that beat
And I keep time
Your restless face
Is no longer mine
I rest my feet while this world's in heat and I wish that you could do the same
Blue collar

Hey Now DVS, thanks for the post. A song foreshadowing Art's arrival on the scene isn't something a person sees every day. Btw, insomuch you're here again, WELCOME BACK AND hope t'see more of ya!

Love this song and this band. Learned a bunch of their stuff on guitar.
The heartbreaking necessity of lying about reality and the heartbreaking impossibility of lying about it.
