PICKALOWTOWN

This song was inspired by my daughter. She had gotten a tattoo of her sisters and did not get one of her brother.  So, I started this song that night. I was hurt myself, for leaving him out of the tattoo. The song vision was vivid. It entailed a young boy about 9 years old following his older sister being 13 or 14 who was with two of her friends. The young boy was 15 feet behind her walking with tears in his eyes. The love he had for his sister was big. He didn't understand why now after so many years she was some what leaving him or not given the attention she once had . She turns every now and then to lean over and talk to him. Letting him know where she was going. These are in the lyrics. A country town with quite roads and steps made of stone. The school being more of a one room school house. In my vision the effect on the boy is hard to explain. He was devastated. he could not wipe the tears away fast enough. It was at night the song came as a jam session and I was twirling around while the song was coming to me. I needed to extract it from all around me. That was the feeling I got. The song was slow to come. During the extraction I was on my butt on the ground in my room. When I was picked upped and thrown AGAINST THE WALL. The trouble was no one in the room. My feet left the floor. I slid down the wall and just laughed and chuckled for a bit. I know who it was...

Hay, what about me x2

We're going on down to Pickalowtown

going to watch a picture show, would you like to come along

you're looking down and I'm looking up

won't you put your loving arms around me

you're fooling around and I'm getting down

won't you put your loving arms around me

hay, what about me x2

we're going on down to Pickalowtown

going to the Appletree would you like to come along

have you forgotten the smile

have you lost our love

won't you put your loving arms around me

hay, what about me x2

we're going on down to Pickalowtown

going to see a waterfall, would you like to come along

 throwing our love away, what about me x4

hay, what about me x2

we're going on down to Pickalowtown

going to the school yard, would you like to come along

do you no longer care will you no longer share

won't you put your loving arms around me

you're laughing loud and I'm crying now

won't you put your loving arms around me

hay, what about me x2

we're going on down to Pickalowtown

we're going for an ice cream, would you like to come along

I miss you more than ever before

won't you put your loving arms around me

please close your eyes and think of my smile

won't you put your loving arms around
