Mitch Townley songs
What a pleasure to write with Ray, We did this co-write "face to face" when I was in Boston in July. Ray came up to see me from my childhood stomping grounds in "Little Rhody". Hope you all enjoy th efun we had.
My Paragraph
(c) 2008 Ray Fontenault/Mitch Townley
(v1)
Was waiting 'round Jerry's Tire Barn
Getting four new ones on my car
Picked up a coffee stained section of the Telegraph
Was folded open to B-13
Farmer's almanac, obituaries
Wound up reading some to pass the time
A decorated hometown soldier had passed
Only took nine lines to summarize the 65 years he had
Got me thinkin'
(chorus)
How will they fill my paragaph
In the Bluefield Telegraph
Is there a good life in between
Ev'ry line that I'll leave
Will it make you wish you'd known the man
How will they fill my paragaph
(v2)
Words can't show a Saturday in June
A white laced bride, a wide-eyed groom
Coaching t-ball, 'n mending skinned up knees
Lending a hand when I had the chance
Hangin in when love hit a rough patch
Learning faith and hope don't grow on trees
A long and honest life with few regrets
Can black letters between commas spell he did his best
(chorus)
How will they fill my paragaph
In the Bluefield Telegraph
Is there a good life in between
Ev'ry line that I'll leave
Will it make you wish you'd known the man
How will they fill my paragaph
(bridge)
Driving home, I kept thinking 'bout that soldier
And wonderin' will my life have meaning
When my time on earth is over
(repeat chorus)
