Hawkins County Sheriff’s Report

Complainant advised that he thought
His girlfriend the thief that he sought
So he set up a trap

overcome with a sorrow beyond sorrows
and a grief with no relief
Through the rhythm of the music
my heart relaxes

Sweet melodies and harmonies of rhythmic words.

They speak melodiously and deeply to my soul.
I'm riding and flying; I'm losing control.

No seatbelt to buckle into or even think of,
But I'm safe and feeling free, flying like a dove.
