Blue Ridge Days

(Steven LaFollette)

I wrote this in my apartment in Minneapolis, one evening when I realized life didn't have me where I'd expected it would. I still thought "where" and "what" defined who I was, so I was left a little lost and wishing myself toward an idealized future where all uncertainty was behind me. The "place" of this could be subbed for wherever you were when you likely had the same feeling.

Verse Tennessee you rained so hard I’d swear you didn’t know me Now and then I catch your glance across the room Behind me, overshadowed by a stronger, better man I’m Midwest bound, my Blue Ridge days behind Chorus Said it’s been a long day And I know I’m gonna miss this someday But the Mississippi’s full of wrath for a city boy on a river raft Love let me be Verse February made the 5th of May a romance Sorting through the mail and spare change in the pond Lyndale sounds like something I’ll remember when I’m old Those songs I hope you’ll sing when I am gone Chorus Said it’s been a long day It seems Love’s a pretty girl on the subway But she walks so fast on the overpass and she’s never going my way Love let me be Chorus 2 Said it’s been a long day It seems love’s a fleeting thought on the interstate Like a crash in a dream stuck repeating a scene it will surely drive you mad Love let me be Love let me be

Jump the Steamboat

By Peter Lastima


No doubt farm boys fall in love with riverboat croupiers all the time. This one has it bad. He probably knows that Mississippi alligators have better things to do than chase love-sick suitors. But it may be that he hopes that she doesn't.
