I found my mind in a brown paper bag, but then....
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in"
If ya wanna hear the song and watch the video click on I just dropped in - in the lyrics above.
And now - I'll have my coffee and relax a bit
For some reason that song has been stuck in my head for the past few days. Kinda like my present condition. Since Saturday, I've been in the very low doldrums or sickly - to landlubbers. I had chest constrictions like I was congested, shortness of breath, blah feeling, no appetite, sinus congestion, sore throat - just generally feeling like crap. Went to the doc and he kinda freaked out - started asking me questions about traveling pain to my arms, back, jaw etc. I know he was piqued that I hadn't come in sooner and he was checking me for heart attack. Well, after xrays and EKG and further testing, he determined I have something going on. WHEW- glad I wasn't just imagining all this. Anyway some kind of infection, bronchial etc. Antibiotics cures all and that's where I'm at now
So - back to the song. I first heard that (Just Dropped In) in 1967 when I was waiting for a bus at the Greyhound bus station in Washington, D.C. for a trip up to Rhode Island to visit my Honey and now wife - Cathy.
I remember saying to myself Boy is that guy on drugs or what? When I finally did listen to the lyrics Sung by Kenny Rogers and First Edition - I was still thinking they were on drugs or had been. Funny how a song can take you back to a time in your life and trip the memory button. Just thot I'd share that this bright, sunny morning. TaTa
