This is a song that I came up with after I Retired..Every word is true. Northern winters in Canada never seem to end.
My Memoirs Stew Dopking 2011
37 years of fighting snow and ice
Has finally come to an end
Letter carrier was my steady job
On the streets of Edmonton
Bought myself a sweet sounding Gibson Guitar
To play the songs hidden in my Soul
Close as I'll get to writing my memoirs
Now the young men can carry the heavy load
Wore out my last pair of shoes
No more blisters for me
Never thiught I'd live this long
To be called a retiree
Bought myself a sweet sounding Gibson guitar
To play the songs hidden deep in my soul
Close as I'll get to writing my memoirs
Now the young men can carry that heavy load
My knees and body they took a toll
Oh how I wished I'd gone to school
Learned to live with my mistakes
All my dreams they did come true
Bought myself a sweet sounding Gibson guitar
To play the songs hidden deep in my Soul
Closet thing I'll get to writing my memoirs
Now the young men can carry That heavy load
Now the young men can carry that heavy load
