“it’s too dark to put the key in my ignition,
and the morning sun has yet to climb my hood ornament…”

“Hello ruby in the dust” I don’t really know what it is about that line but it gets me every time. My parents used to listen to Neil Young on all our driving trips through the desert when I was just a little kid. Such good times & good memories.

Besides Neil, my favorite act is The Beach Boys. So obviously, my favorite Neil lyric has got to be from “Long May You Run”:

Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now
With those waves singing “Caroline”
Rollin’ down that empty ocean road
Get into the surf on time.

I never knew a man
could tell so many lies
He had a different story
For every set of eyes
How can he remember
Who he’s talking to
Cause I know it isn’t me
And i hope it isn’t you…

At 50 years old I find neil young to be one of the greatest “storytellers” of our era. I still have his album DECADE bought it new in 1977.

I have tried hard to single out one of many great song lyrics. but I choose the song Cowgirl in the sand because of the style thats indicative of Neils talents

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
at your command
Can I stay here
for a while
Can I see your
sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same?
It’s the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
begun to rust
After all
the sin we’ve had
I was hopin’ that
we’d turn back
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same
It’s the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
the way it seems
Purple words
on a grey background
To be a woman
and to be turned down
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same
It’s the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.

My favourit is:
“I’m not present
I’m a drug that makes you dream
I’m an aerostar
I’m a cutlass surpreme
In the wrong lane
Trying to turn against the flow
I’m the ocean
I’m the giant undertow
I’m the ocean
I’m the ocean”
