I am not from Lancaster ain't no tumbleweed rollin through my backyard or brain.  when those beautiful snow capped mountains show up in the morning on my front lawn in a mudslide..is not me.
rollin down the dark highway road a sudden thud-a crash into...

Premium Member The Lancaster Pike
Down this once famous graveled road
I drive by day and drive by night
my mind replaying stories of times past.
As if thinking about them
can make them real again.
Buildings standing with new faces, signs.
I see them now only as they once were
in my childlike memory, mind.

Living In Lancaster
Living In Lancaster

Many things have learned to master,
Ending up doing it faster and faster;
After what I did or tried,
Went on a buggy ride,
Like people do living near Lancaster.

did ungodly things to me; open my top, rubbed me a bit with
cold feet, gave wings to...

The Lancaster Bomber
I look through the front window
Of the Lancaster bomber on show
Bill my co-pilot is by my side
It has been such a ride

We are waiting on the line
To fly to Berlin in the night time
Carpet bombing is the name of the game
We are making history and...

Premium Member Lilac of Lancaster
Rise and shine my lilac
I've something special planned
Wait now, don't get up too fast
Here, let me take your hand

I've brought your morning coffee
But that's not the big surprise
I'll tell you while you're sipping it
As sleep fades from your eyes

I've gotten us a bicycle
One that's built...
