Derby Day Sprint

 

I was posting this to Jim Haas's Al Compas site - It is abbreviated versus version on this site. Jim had posted I'm a Little Mixed Up as part of his show. 



Ode to Betty James - On a sunny Derby Day/Milwaukee/the East Side/up by the pagoda-looking gas/station around 1971 / got lost /got lost just / a few blocks from home. /And kids came out / climbing over rubble /singing "hippies in town" / singing "hippies in town" / me and dave and jim did / a sort of cold tremble / when a car engine would start /it was like a slow explosion / as we found our way / got back to the pad / and there is an old hippie / fellow traveller playing / I'm a Little Mixed Up -JV
