Lucky Town

Well, you know this has been a tough week. I've lost friends ... and I'm worried about others' health. I finally had a chance to walk today ... and I took a long one (almost 18 miles!) I walked alone for the first 3 hours ... with Bruce Springsteen singing in my ears. The first song was "Lucky Town" Here are the words:

...

House got too crowded clothes got too tight

And I don't know just where I'm going tonight

Out where the sky's been cleared by a good hard rain

There's somebody callin' my secret name

I'm going down to Lucky Town

Going down to Lucky Town

I wanna lose these blues I've found

Down in Lucky Town

Down in Lucky Town

Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots

But that coat always had a thread hangin' to loose

Well I pulled it one night and to my surprise

It led me right past your house and on over the rise

going down to Lucky Town

Down to Lucky Town

I'm gonna lose these blues I've found

Down in Lucky Town

Down in Lucky Town

I had some victory that was just failure in deceit

Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet

I been a long time walking on fortune's cane

Tonight I'm sleepin' lightly and feelin' no pain

Well here's to your good looks baby

now here's to my health

Here's to the loaded places that we take ourselves

When it comes to luck you make your own

Tonight I got to dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home

Down in Town in Lucky Town

I'm gonna lose these blues I've found

Down in Lucky Town

...

"I'm gonna lose these blues I've found" Those words just hit me. I'm going to try to lose these blues ... and I'm going to focus on how lucky I am. Lucky to have my family and friends. Lucky to be able to walk 60 miles. Lucky to be able to make a difference.

...

"The sky's been cleared by a good hard rain."

I think it's time to smile again ... but not to forget.

...

"Here's to my health" and here's to YOURS!

...

I'm steps closer to making my Journey to San Francisco.

"Down in Lucky Town."
