\"\"<\/a>If the Old Cowboys song had some kind of political undertone then this one comes wrapped and ready for church. <\/p>\n

Lyrics seem to get formed from the sounds that show up. So the themes usually seem outside my control. That’s probably not really true, but usually I feel kind of puzzled about the words. So while maybe I wish this was a cool song about a guy hunting leopards, instead it’s kind of a walking on the beach with Jesus tune. But that’s fine too. And that’s not really what it is, but that’s a good simple way to describe it. <\/p>\n

This song started out this morning at around 8:37 as I drove home after dropping Sam off at school. I sometimes find melodies I like while driving and then I just use the voice recorder on my phone so I don’t forget. Here’s this morning’s voice recording:<\/p>\n[audio: http:\/\/radioghost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/mylastcellphone.mp3]\n

I don’t think this song is done yet, but I have a lot of work coming up and usually when that happens I lose track of songs like this one. So I thought I’d just post it. Hopefully I can fix some of the things that bug me. But here’s where it is now:<\/p>\n

Lyrics:
\nIf you pay me some attention
\nAnd tell me no lies
\nMy last invention
\nA machine to love all mankind<\/p>\n

And if you end up in the mountains
\nLook down upon the plains
\nMy last invention
\nWill light up the way<\/p>\n

Ahead now full till you feel the pain
\nIf it gets too hot I\u2019ll invent the rain
\nIf you get lost, it\u2019s not a sin
\nIf you fall down, get up again
\nIf it gets too hard, just call my name
\nAnd hold on tight, I\u2019ve got the reins
\nWhether me or you it\u2019s all the same
\nAhead now full I\u2019ve got the pain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
