Word: Inheritance
Question: What was your first concert?
Inheritance
"Come
along," said my roommates
So
we did, my lady and I
Across
the border, into another state
To
hear songs I didn't know too well
A
few I did, "Broken Road" for one
Before
it was stolen by others to sell
And
turned into a country song
They
saved the best for last, of course
Played
Bojangles for their encore
And
a song by that other Band
The
plain one, without the Nitty and Gritty
"The
Weight" with a bit of Dirt thrown in
An
inheritance of song followed us home
Back
across the border, through a blinding storm
My
lady at rest upon my shoulder

ReplyDeleteThat was my question! =D (And my own answer would have been Duran Duran.) I had to do some online research to figure out which band you meant. And now I'm listening to The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Broken Road.
Surprisingly, this question about some literal music has yielded a poem that doesn't sound like song lyrics. (Remember when you couldn't write one that didn't suggest music to us?)
