homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.
....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

Story behind the song
didja ever just let fly and then have to eat yer own words?....dry and crumbly....not even a sip of water to make 'em go down easier?
Lyrics
As The Crow Flies CHORUS: as the crow flies, it’s just one mile but to get over to your place it takes a little while as the crow flies, it’s just one mile but to get over to your place it’s gonna take a little while I. I think it’s ‘cause my pride puts a hitch in my stride and makes me walk a little slower knowing it’s high time to say I’m sorry but I’m still workin’ up the nerve to come over CHORUS II. I do regret all those nasty things I said ‘specially the part ‘bout wishin’ you’d drop dead I’ve been eating my liver instead of humble pie but to fix this mess, I’m gonna have to confess and do it eye to eye CHORUS III. oh, the Lord does love the humble and He loves forgiveness too and He sure would like to see me fix this thing between me and you so I’m headin’ over your way and I’m pickin’ up my pace and I’m hoping you don’t slam your door in my sorry face CHORUS
