larry norman and the usb thumb drive

i think i have waited a sufficient time to post again?

i had wanted to post this a few days ago, but i was afraid of 'flooding the blogs.' i got my 65 gig usb drive from ebay last week. i copied all my christian rock mp3s to it (it took a few hours) and brought it out to my car stereo. my new(er) car has a pretty good stereo in it, but i have never really listened to music on it.

i have had a somewhat troubled past life, and listening to rock n roll just brings up too many bad memories. i started to collect christian rock songs a while back and put them all to mp3, playing them all the time at god's garage. but i really haven't had a place to play them since the church closed. also, i have kind of had a kind of hard time with the church closing down and it would just remind me too much.

having the thumb drive in my car now, it is a good reason to listen to those songs again. and there are a LOT of good godly songs that i pretty much forgot about. some are not so godly, but they are still fun. i completely forgot how much i loved larry norman when i found him. these are lyrics to one of his songs:

be careful what you sign

I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
you stopped me you touched me you looked me in the eye
I had a feeling that you knew me I decided you must die
I pulled out my Thornton special I shot you in the head
I threw you in the alley way and I left you for dead

then a man with a hat came up from behind
the sky went black and I thought i was blind
he put his hand inside my jacket and left a million dollar bills
he slipped his hand into my pocket and gave me women and thrills
and when I turned around to thank him there was no one there but me
and both my hands where filled with sand I was standing by the sea

we had a dinner at eight and women at nine
the party was great till we ran out of wine
there was a knock upon the bedroom door my knees began to shake
and this man came in and melted all the candles on my cake
he said I've come here to you it's time for you to go

I was running down the road
I was trying to leave
and I saw you all alone in between the thieves
and when the lightning flashed I saw somebody hanging from a tree
and as I turned to walk away I realized it was me
I pulled out my Thornton special I shot me in the head
I threw me in the alley way and left me for dead
down the road
down the road

this is not his best work, but it is a good jam and it was good to hear it. i don't quite understand what it is trying to say about god, but i know it is about christ and it made me feel good to hear it today
