[bodytext] => (Ole Blue Eyes-Frank Sinatra) (Billy-Billy Joel) Put on black suede shoes and I Boarded the next plane Touched down in the JFK In the midst of the pouring rain Lord Christ Jesus, Won’t you look on over me? Sure, I got a pretty good life… But I’m as sad as a girl could be. When I’m walking in NYC I was walking with my head towards the sky Walking in NYC Why do I feel the way I feel; why?

When I’m walking in NYC I was walking with my head towards the sky Walking in NYC Why do I feel the way I feel; why? Put on black suede shoes and I Boarded the next plane Touched down in the JFK In the midst of the pouring rain Touched down in the JFK In the midst of the pouring rain… (Based on the song "Walking in Memphis") [comments] => 2 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 14 [informant] => Schnikes13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )
