Diving into lyrics
Thesaurus, dictionary, rhyming dictionary. Axioms and idioms. Making a “toast”--where did THAT come from??

Last verse
Now every scar’s a souvenir Of someone loved or something lost.
And peace feels closer every year Worth every tear it ever cost.
So here’s to days I still get wrong And all the nights that end in good
For all I amand all I’m not I’m still here or wish I could
Knock on wood Knock on wood

Knock On Wood (Bridge)
There’s a fragile grace in knowing Just how fast it all can fade,
How the years can turn and show me What I gave (gifted and) what I saved.
But I still laugh, I still believe, I Still wish I understood,
How long can faith survive When I knock on wood.

Knock On Wood (2nd verse)
Used to race the rising sun
Like I could beat the hands of time.
Now I walk instead of run
Ah but growing old is fine.
The mirror’s kind but not polite
it tells the tales I never would,
A weathered map of where I’ve been and I'm still good
Knock on wood. x2

#KnockOnWood (the song)
I used to think the world was wide
and love was all we’d ever need
Dreams came easy, stars were guides
and every heart was guaranteed
I’ve seen the valley full of lies
and the mountain where truth stood
Every step a choice to climb toward something good

Catch & Release
I love the idea of a phrase that inspires a song. Rinse & Repeat. Wash & Wear. And, in this case, Knock On Wood.

OH! That’s right. I was talking about capos.
I swore I’d never be the guy with that thing grabbing the top of my guitar!

Is it a problem or the beginning of an interesting story?

#RabbitEars & The continuing saga of growing up with a #BlackandWhiteTV with ONLY #3channels!
How in the world did I get from this story to my wife???? It’s either evidence of a creative mind in process … OR … someone that needs some sort of medication! :-)

But WAIT! It gets WORSE…
Did someone spin your TV knob too quickly (like your mom warned you about?) and it broke??
