Warren Zevon - Carmelita



I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Black Lilies - Catherine



Up here with the birds and the angels and the bombs
Eighty-nine missions and I ain't twenty-one
Thinking of my mother and the girl I left behind
Come on silver darling, we were born to fly
Yeah we were born to fly

And my Catherine, carry me on your wings
To Lake Michigan and childhood dreams
Where the Red Arrow Highway cuts right through our town
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground
Nothing but blue skies and fire on the ground

The Red Arrow highway was the old route from Detroit to Chicago US-12...now surpassed by 1-94 freeway....it was a highwayman's route 66....everything from whiskey to weed from Al Capone's day to present.

That's a cool bit of history - gives even more meaning to the song- thanks!

I love this song...reminds me of westwall, as he flies.

I listen to Pandora a lot at work, and on one of the stations, this group came up - I've been hooked since

Bodeans - Texas Ride Song



We hit the road, the big highway
With a heart full of soul and fire
making our way through America
In a ford on a two-cent tire
Let's go shall we
On through the majesty
Let's go, you'd never know
But this was made for you and me
We laid down under stars
Under the dead of night
There in a field of wildflowers
Baby we finally made things right
Where no bands of gold or
Diamond rings or wished of well could hold
More than our hearts of good intentions
More than our promise told

All I could think of when I saw the title "Sheila" was this song. Used to do a dance routine to this song when I was just a wee one! Lol!

Did a "welcome cheer" to the opposing team to this song. Our cheerleading instructors got in trouble for it, and then they wouldn't let us do the cheer. It was pretty cool too. Needless to say, we were very disappointed that they didn't let us do the cheer. We worked very hard practicing it for weeks.
