I write songs that no-one sings

I write books that no-one reads

I make games that no-one plays

But that's ok

When I'm gone, someone may find

All of this, I leave behind

Little pieces of my time

Little fragments of my mind

There was a Dark Mage in a Tower

With an Orb that gave him much Power

Into it he Gazed

With his eye all Ablaze

And those who saw it would Cower

🎼 Tale Of A Quarter Told

Tail of a Quarter Told 

By Russell A. Rice © 11/08/93

Born in Philadelphia, pressed fresh from the machine. I road in the pocket of a trucker down to New Orleans. 

He spent me at a truck stop they are all the same and I left town late that night to play in a poker game.

Pass me round the table depending on the hand and when it all was over I left town with another man.

Roll, roll along another town another song

Where I go is were I’ve been. I’ll keep on rollin till the end.

Next stop was a pool hall up in Buffalo. I played a game of eight ball and that’s the way I go.

Down to the Apple, out into the streets, to the hand of a dealer to buy a little treat. 

Some use me for pleasure and some use me for pain. Some are sound of mind while others are insane.

And I roll, I roll along another town another song

Where I go is were I’ve been. I’ll keep on rollin till the end.

I have bought more money and I have bought some time. I have bought some loving and I have bought some wine.

Well, I have been bought and yes I have been sold. I have been given and Lord I have been stole.

So if I land in your hand, listen young or old to the ever changing story, the tale of a quarter told.
