Baseball, Books, and ... I need a third B

One guy's random thoughts on things of interest -- books, baseball, and whatever else catches my attention in today's hectic world.

Lyrics

Sorry, anonymous, but I was out of town for a while. Regardless, here are the Speed Train lyrics, as passed along by JJ (sorry for the weird formatting, but this is how it was sent to me -- minus the chords and such):

Speed Train
Verse 1
I took that speed train down to ya
around the bend
remembering the last time I talked to ya
It sure seemed like the end
you ask me why I come - I don't know
as you lean in the door
you ask me what I want - I don't know
just want to try once more
I got two bags on and two on the floor

Verse 2
I met your mama one weekend
it didn't go well
But I had a
beer with your old man
and he was all right
and we all drove down to the bar
for a shot of rye
and we kept that honky tonk jukebox
playing all night
and I asked your hand one last time

Bridge
Fourty minutes on an Amtrak train
knowing there's just me to blame

Verse 3
So I took that speed train down to ya
around the bend
Got a little something to give to ya
that I could not send
you ask me why I come - I don't know
as you lean in the door
you ask me what I want - I don't know
just want to try once more
I got two bags on and two on the floor
