How did you get away from me? (lyrics)

HOW DID YOU GET AWAY FROM ME?
by June Carter Cash (and Johnny Cash)


Oh, I hate it, but you made it.
You're runnin', jumpin', laughin', filled with glee.
Oh, I told you that I'd hold you.
Just how did you get away from me?

I had bars on the windows,
Had you chained to the floor,
And a moss covered monster at the door,
(JOHNNY: 12 feet tall. That ain't all.)
Had a bottemless moat
With a hole in the boat
And a big rattlesnake
If you tried to make the break,
Had a swarm of bees,
A gorilla in the tress.
Just how did you get away from me?
(JOHNNY: You said I'd die if I tried.)

[KEY CHANGE (G to A)]
[DOBRO SOLO; JAZZ FLUTE SOLO]

Aw, where'd you get the sense
To get through the electric fence?
Your handcuffs are gone.
You're runnin' free.
What happened to my sniper
With his high powered rifle?
Just how did you get away from me?

Is it true that it's you?
Did you really did make it through?
How about the tiger in the car?
(JOHNNY: And the dynamite you planted)
(In the jar in the car.)
Did you go like a mole through a hole?
Or did you sail like a quail on a pole?
Give it to the news on TV (JOHNNY: So I can see)
Oh, how did you get away from me?
(JOHNNY: You said I die if I try.)
Oh, how did you get away from me?

Prayer Request

Dear friends,

I would appreciate it if you all could pray for me and keep me in you prayers. Some of you know what is bothering me already, some of you I promised the explanation, some of you have not even heard from me in a long time but.. ..well, as my friends, I would just like the rest of you to know..for your care and prayers. As I address you, I consider you all friends and hope I can count on that.

I have had back problems for a long time now. The past year, though, I succumbed to seeing doctors over it. I was told last summer that I had significant scoliosis. This spring semester I went to see a specialist at the local Orthopaedic and Fracture Clinic. There they did a number of X-rays series and MRI scans. The final result was that I was told I have a nearly 59 degree curve in my spine and, being past all my growth spurts, need major surgery.

We are now working out the final plans. I will find a scoliosis specialist back home in Pennsylvania and have the surgery some time this summer. Full healing from the surgery will take three to five months, so I am taking off the coming semester of college. Full recuperation may take a full year.

Meanwhile, my back pain is getting worse. I spend an even half of my days out of classes because of back seizes up.

Again, please pray for me and remember me. I don't mean to whine or beg for any pity, but I need my friends' prayers. Thank you for your time, all.

pax Christi,

Personality Quiz

Well, it looks like they pegged my personality well:

Linkage: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

To the drawing board!

Do you like getting packages in the mail?
Brown paper packages, tied up with string?

If so, it would be my pleasure to send you something, in the realm of material reality, that I have made for you and for you alone!

This is a crafty scheme. The first five people to respond to this note will get something made by me. However, this offer does have restrictions, conditions, and limitations so please read carefully:

I : There is absolutely no guarantee made that you will like what I make.
(Aaron Note: I have to receive a honest complaint, though.)

II : What I create will be new, just for you, not something made previously or just laying around.

III : It will be sent this calendar year.

IV : You have no clue what it is going to be. It will be something made in the real world, not just from the internets.

V : It may be jam. It may be a necklace. It may be original artwork or a cake or a chocolate mousse or ambiguous knitted goods. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
(Aaron Note: With no promise that they will be heeded, requests *are* more than welcome.)

VI : I reserve the right to do something extremely strange or cheap.

VII : I may well do more than five random creative acts if more than five people want random creative parcels. We shall see.
(Aaron Note: I will definitely send "somethings" to as many people as ask for them and fulfill the note's requirements! I have been given most of a year to send the stuff. Please, ask away!)


So, are there any obscured but no-the-less binding strings attached? Where is the fine print, figurative or not? There are no strings attached. Rather, I use thick anything-but-subtle hempen cords. Here is the fine print:

VIII : In return, in a public note of your own, you have to post the offer to make at leas five things for at least five other people.

IX : You have to tag me so I know you did it.

X : I will see you taking those first steps of your own before I make and send you anything.


(Aaron Note: Either put your preferred mailing address in your comment or E-mail it to me [Aaron.D.Nemoyer@gmail.com] so I know where to send your something.)

Pax.


PS. If you really want, you don't have to post the note yourself. It is more fun if I can convince you to, but I enjoy sending mail to anyone. :-)
