Gayle Rodd Poet Rhyme

I'M Followin' the Man

I'm followin' the man
in a rock n roll band
keepin' two fingers crossed
and luck in my hand

Yeah John and Paul got nothin' on you
'cause you might make the stage 
in another year or two

But for now you're in my limelight
can't be spinnin' me around
Man I've been tryin' 
oh so hard
just to keep what I have found

Seems you wanna throw it back
for a much better catch
'cause you don't want the feelin' 
like ya gotta be attached

You took four or five years
of love off my life
without turnin' over
didn't have to think twice

Oh I love you like you are
I wanna go with your goals
but you aint gonna live 
where the livin' is slow

So step back 
and give you space
you're a rock n roll man now
and I'll turn loose 
and yet keep lovin' you
the best that I know how

Chris Green March 22, 2017 at 4:48 PM I was one of these up and coming rock and roll stars at one time, but I didn't need space...just a bit more talent. Really Gayle, I enjoyed this because it did bring back memories of shooting for those stars until realizing the day job pays better. :) Gayle Rodd March 22, 2017 at 5:12 PM Haha! It's okay Chris, I think the person I was referring to in this, works construction now and doesn't even care to pick up a guitar anymore. Oh the dreams we had when we were young ;)
