A Place In The Sun
Ray Hartley piano with David Terry and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep running towards a dream.
Moving on, moving on.
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reaching to be free.
Moving on, moving on.
Where there's hope for everyone,
Where my poor restless heart's got to run.
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done,
Got to find me
A place in the sun.
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load.
Moving on, moving on.
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rolling since my birth.
Moving on, moving on.
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone,
Where my poor restless heart's got to run.
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done,
Got to find me
A place in the sun.
You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember, yes
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone,
Where my poor restless heart's got to run.
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done,
Got to find me
A place in the sun.

@Eclectic Explorer Robert Johnson was poisoned. A jealous man in the juke joint he was playing in suspected that Johnson was flirting with his girlfriend.
He brought Johnson a pint bottle of whiskey which he had previously laced with poison.
Johnson made the mistake of accepting the bottle whose cap and seal had been opened, a cardinal sin among blues players who, (as a general rule) wouldn’t accept unsealed bottles from strangers.
Huge and fatal mistake by Johnson whom (legend says) sold his soul to the devil at “A the Crossroads” in exchange for giving him the ability to play guitar like nobody else!
The legend of “The Crossroads” has been sung about by many Blues artists including Eric Clapton.

Someone said Janice Joplin had a wonderful voice. They weren't listening to the same Janice I heard. She sounded like a screaming ashtray full of heroin needles. Hendrix probably didn't want to be with her.

If you hear this voice, it means the video is going to be shit
