13ยข a pound. 550 pounds steer calf, $3.96 a pound. Butcher Hog in Omaha, Sixty Cents a pound, and a hundred pound fat lamb in Billings inching its way up too at $2.52 a pound. But guys, there's more, much more. Okay.
OK Solberg:Okay. Listen to this. I'll guarantee you've never heard it anywhere before. Not even on this program. It's brand new.
OK Solberg:Listen, I wrote a story just for you. It has lines from 40 different songs. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to name the song and the artist that each line came from. I wrote it especially thinking of Dan Perry. Are you listening, Dan?
OK Solberg:Peggy too? Here's to you. Guys, Dan will get them all. Here it goes. Please, mister please, don't play b 17.
OK Solberg:Oh, it's all coming back to me now. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. Thinking back, it's so true yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Oh, let me start at the beginning.
OK Solberg:I am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom told. See, I left a good job in the city working for the man every night and day. Suddenly, and just like that, she was there, then I saw her face. Now I'm a believer. I cleared my throat and covered my shaking hands and said, Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?
OK Solberg:She spoke like an angel and as her eyes met mine I said, Hey there, Georgie girl, swinging down the street so fancy free. I chuckled and said, I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. I swear sparks flew smoke on the water, fire in the sky. We spent the night together because she had been born with a face that would let her get her way. Just remember being good isn't always easy.
OK Solberg:I cried out, if loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right, all you need is love. But guys, just like that, it was over like a flash in the pan over. Well, since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell down at the end of Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel. I should have known, for the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. Didn't someone once say, ain't no sunshine when she's gone?
OK Solberg:I found out then and I'm not just whistling Dixie, freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. And I finally figured out what it meant when they said you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. See, I've looked at life from both sides now. I want you to know in its honest truth, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. But I was misunderstood, and now I've started a joke which started the whole world crying.
OK Solberg:Yes, she paved paradise and put up a parking lot. So again, I have to tell you, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and honestly, I've been walking these streets so long singing the same old song, and it went something like this, doo wah diddy diddy, dumb diddy do, then there's the chorus with, which ends with, but I never cared for the sound of being alone. I cried guys, I really did, and when the tears were flowing I cried out, hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again, make the pain go away, I'm so lonesome I could cry. If I could save time in a bottle, well you know how it goes. Everybody's talking at me but I don't hear a word they're saying.
OK Solberg:It's times like these that all you can do is jump in the car and take a spin. Been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel. I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right, won't come back from Dead Man's Curve. But guys, then it happened, I eased off the accelerator when I heard breaker one nine, is anyone there? Come on back truckers and talk to teddy bear.
OK Solberg:And I can see clearly now the rain is gone. There was a phone booth at the crossroads, operator, well could you help me place this call? And as she looked it up, it dawned on me, and I think it's gonna be a long long time till touchdown brings me round again to find out I'm not the man they think I am at home. I cleared my throat and said, excuse me please, operator, oh, let's forget about this call. There's no one there I really wanted to talk to.
OK Solberg:Thank you for your time. Oh, you've been so much more than kind. You can keep the dime. And guys, this wave of peace flowed over me like the tide rolling in. When I die and they lay me to rest, gonna go to the place that's the best.
OK Solberg:It all made sense. There's other fish in the sea. All I really really need to know, prepare yourself. You know, it's a must. Gotta have a friend in Jesus, so you know that when you die, he's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky.
OK Solberg:There it is, guys. Never heard before. I hope it brought back some memories. I hope it put a smile on your face, and I hope it gave you hope. Perfect place for a bible verse, but our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a savior from there, the lord Jesus Christ.
OK Solberg:Philippians three twenty. It was fun, so until next time. As you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
