I Couldn’t Stop The Tears

   Well it’s no secret, I love KISS
But that’s not all of me
There’s so much more that I love
So I wanna make my decree

I grew up in the seventies
It was the decade of the best
From my metal to easy listening and
Country and folk they all past the test

Yes I absolutely love my KISS and
Alice Cooper, Poison and AC/DC
My Nazareth and Stryper and DOKKEN
And Rush, good stuff I hope you agree

But there’s so much more music
I have in my heart and my head
Like Jim Croce, James Taylor, Dr Hook
Bob Seger  and America and Bread

I cannot forget to mention the
Beach boys and Beatles and Elvis too
And some country George Straight and
George Jones could leave ya blue

And last night I watched I’ll be me
Glen Campbell’s finale tour
A documentary about his struggle with
Alzheimer’s and the tears did pour

And now the lyrics are haunting me
I can still hear them whine
I’m the Wichita Lineman
And I’m still on the line

For the memories of it all came flooding
Back and reminded of those years
And yes I will admit I was just a big baby
For I couldn’t stop the tears
