"Minutes to Memories"

by John (Cougar) Mellencamp

"...By sunup tomorrow I guess I'll be home
Through the hills of Kentucky 'cross the Ohio river
The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times
He fell asleep with his head against the window
He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind
This world offers riches and riches will grow wings
I don't take stock in those uncertain things.

Days turn to minutes
And minutes to memories
Life sweeps away the dreams
That we have planned
You are young and you are the future
So suck it up and tough it out
And be the best you can."

El Paso: Marty Robbins (he fled that West Texas town on a stolen horse for the badlands of New Mexico, then returned for that one last kiss...as it turned out, a big mistake).

TheGent2U · ‎03-21-2020

@1968Hoya46 - Great song! If you haven't, give a listen to the followup by Marty Robbins: "El Paso City". Picks up right where "El Paso" leaves off. And is sung by the same protagonist.... You thought he died in the first song. And he did. 😉

I Will Follow Him: Peggy March (She loves him, so she'll follow him wherever he may go, even over high mountains and deep oceans; sounds a bit obsessive, if not stalking).
