A long time ago, yeah before you was born dude
When I was still single and life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
That kept me moving from state to state

    I play this to my baby son all the time...."well that was your mother, and I was your father, before you was born dude, when life was great, and you are the burden, of my generation, I sure do love you, well let's get that straight"...I could try for a thousand years and not put it any better

    Alipeps, you got that right, babe. One of my favorite albums as well. Reminds me of driving from Ohio to North Carolina, just kept playing Graceland and Harvest (Neil Young). Much love for these songs, they set such a great mood. PEACE
