Some Country Station

near the end of the 1970s i was hauling an 18 wheeler all over the country pretty much non-stop, chasing the almighty dollar. one day, on a lonesome stretch of highway, i was fumbling around on the AM dial and i hit a bump. my hand jerked and fell upon some random country music station. i became transfixed to the radio, lost in music. after almost an hour the station faded out of reception and the radio went silent. rolling down the road in quiet solitude i reminisced on life, death, love, hatred, beauty, fear, fate and where my puzzle piece fits into it all. as best as i can recall, these are the songs the radio played that day, so long ago.
