about

I was gifted a bright orange 1994 Chevy Sidestep. Having this truck to use on my property has proven invaluable. One day I was cleaning it and stumbled across a plastic tag from the gas station Allsup's with the name "Mandie" on it. It got my wheels turning. I wondered who and where she was. That morphed into a song about being worthy of my friends. From the friend that gave me the truck to my friends that circle their wagons when I need them, I am lucky to have this handful of loved ones in my life. I strive to be worthy of them.

lyrics

Mandie from Allsups
With a hairdo gone wrong
Loves chicken chimichangas
And old country songs
She used to teach high school
Now she just drives around
In her ol’ Chevy side step
She picks me up when I’m down

Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
Cause when I’m with them
I’m all right …
Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
‘Cause when I’m with them
I’m all right
I’m all right …

We float down the river
When life goes upstream
We roll dice and play cards
Drink wine and share dreams
It took a long time
To grow old friends like mine
They circle the wagons
When I need peace of mind

We make the colors
Inside of the wheel
The labyrinth we walk
Reminds us what’s real
We’re the enneagram
The Yin and the Yang
In good times and bad
They’re the ones who remain

When all of my days
In this world are done
I'm gonna jump on a rocket
And meet you in the sun
We'll roll ‘round the moon
Poke holes in the dark
So those that we love
Might see us in the stars

Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
Cause when I’m with them
It’s all right …

Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
‘Cause when I’m with them
I’m all right
It’s all right
I’m all right
