Rock Away the Ages
Some like to hear songs nice and slow
Some like 粗m really hot
Some like the melody
Some like to sing along
I like em any way I like em all
And I値l just rock away the ages
With this ole guitar
I値l just rock away the ages
Like an old jukebox
Some like an old time country song
Or Bob Wills western swing
Some like pure honky tonk
Or that bluegrass beat
It can be a crossover
Or pure southern rock
I like em any way I like em all
And I値l just rock away the ages
With this ole guitar
I値l just rock away the ages
Like an old jukebox
Now I'll sing rock of ages
Each night before I sleep
And pray to the Lord my father
For my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
Lord please take me home
And I値l rock away the ages
With the Lord my God
I値l rock away the ages like an old jukebox

OPtion 2 ROck of Ages(various country Artist,Various Years) From My Archives, I wrote this back in the days that I had the delusion of being a country music song Writer. It is a song without music. It is about a Gospel song(Rock of Ages). And Every country sound ever written. I can't get it out of my head. Hope I It don't punish you with the words LOL

I must admit, I think this is my favorite, of any, if you don't mind I'd like to post it on my home page. I find when I come and read this is lifts my spirits so much. Puts a big smile on my face, cause Music and God can bring so much joy to the heart. Takes me away in my thoughts to happy moments spent with my Dad and his guitar. The old country favorites and some gospel. This has the combination of both. You really should try to get this to music and summit it to a country music recording studio. I will have to get that info from Mary and send it to you. Sorry to rant and Thanks for sharing your words.

Thank you for this most wonderful entry into our contest. I loved it, I could almost hear the melody in my head and I am a fan of ay kind a music, for they all have their own particular brand of beauty. Good Luck!

I've never been a fan of contemporary country music, and, as I write poems, you'll find I'm not a fan of the church. But for some reason, and I don't know why, things like your poem are always cool with me. So well done, and keep suprising!
