Single: Last Thing On Your Mind (alternative mix)

by Chuck LeMonds

/

lyrics

Somewhere in Wisconsin
Standing under northern lights
It’s -26 below zero
Stars are shining so bright.
I am poor as a country church mouse
I see no way out of here
If someone had only told me
Where I’d be in 40 years.

Dreaming the dream of a young man
In the hot and humid summertime
You think it will never get cold again
It’s the last thing on your mind
It’s Friday night in Colfax
He’s 3 sheets to the wind
Trying so hard to get somewhere
But got no money for the fare.

Take your hat off
Take your boots off
Sit yourself right down
You have traveled far and wide
A boy from a Midwest town
Red Cedar River, Mississippi
Blue Danube delta songs
It’s a shame you couldn’t
Be here with us
But we missed you all along.

You’d have to be crazy
You’d have to be so blind
To leave this all behind you
Hoping that you’d find
A pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
The mystical garden of Eden
A holy man sitting under a tree
Who never tells you what he’s thinking.

I miss the skunk smell
You may laugh…….well
I miss the monarchs too
I miss the smell
Of summer nights
Along the river with you.
It’s a shame you couldn’t
Be here with us
But we missed you all along
We knew that you were,
Somewhere out there
Singing all your songs.

Chuck LeMonds Austria

Chuck LeMonds’ music is a kind of Country Soul gumbo of blues, folk, funk and country with poetic lyrics that call to be heard. In times like these, the music and songwriting of Chuck LeMonds has the effect of a soothing balsam for the soul, or that of a plow turning over fresh soil in a field waiting to be planted in spring. ... more
