    Back in 1978 I was listening to this and looking at the early morning sun out of the kitchen window, my parents were eating breakfast and my boxer dog "Prince" was sat at my side, I was 14 and loved music and the first few months of 78 were pumping out brilliant songs....how could music keep going at this rate! how did so many epic songs hit the charts at the same time??? from Kate Bush to punk, from Baker St to Lindisfarne it was all so good, life was good, my Suzuki TS100 and the stunning brunette girl I had the pleasure of looking at every time our school bus stopped to drop off children at Gwendraeth Grammar school, before driving on to our school a few miles away, kept my mind busy. The best childhood I could ever have had with the best music, the best friends and most of all the best parents, oh and the best dog, they have all gone but the music remains and the kitchen window in my house is south facing just like my parents house back then, I play this song.....and I am there....in 1978....looking at the sun.

    Davy's on the road again
    Wearin' different clothes again
    Davy's turning handouts down
    To keep his pockets clean
    All his goods are sold again
    His word's as good as gold again
    Sez if you see Jean now ask her
    Please - to pity me
    Jean and I we moved along
    Since the day - down in the hollow
    When the mind went driftin' on
    And the feet were soon to follow
    Davy's on the road again
    Wearin' different clothes again
    Davy's turning handouts down
    To keep his pockets clean
    Sayin' his goodbyes again
    Wheels are in his eyes again
    Sez if you see Jean now ask her
    Please - to pity me
    Downtown in the big town
    Gonna set you back on your heels
    With a mouth full of memories
    And a lot of stickers for my windshield
    Shut the door cut the light
    Davy won't be home tonight
    You can wait till the dawn rolls in
    You won't see our Davy again

  • @JohnCashin
    @JohnCashin Před 10 měsíci +4

    Growing up listening to this, I always had visions of this 'Davy' character who sees being on the run as a way of life. He's constantly moving from place to place, one minute he's in one place, the next, another and he probably leaves a lot of broken hearts behind him. He can't settle down in one place because he thinks of being in one place for too long as being dead. Being on the move all the time makes him feel alive. Well, that was my take on it anyway. Brilliant song anyway though, whatever the meaning behind it was.
