It's Been a Long, Long Day

This song brings me back to my first year out on the road with the carnival. It had just come out and, with my constant nagging and whining over the jumps from one spot to the next, the driver always let me pop in the 8 track (sigh. yes, 8 track).

It's also a good song for illustrating my week, not just today.

When I see him standing there
I said, “Hey, there’s a guy who needs a laugh”

I hate to abuse an old cliché
But it’s been a long, long day
It’s been a long, long day
