Day 29 - Track 6

When you talk on-line, usually you get the question about, "Whats your favorite all time movie?" I always have a hard time as I love so many movies. Especially John Wayne movies. But... the one that eeks out the top of all, is one that some from Kemper think as the all time best: Kelly's Heros. I remember watching that movie at least ONCE a semester at Kemper. Sometimes 2 and 3 times when it was shown. This was before VHS, so when I say 'movie' I mean MOVIE. With a projector and everything. I was lucky enough that I actually saw movie catalogs which listed all the movies they had to offer to rent. I remember either lying on the floor or on the seats (they were 3 to a set) and watching the movie. In fact, the first movie I bought on DVDs was Kelly's Heros. I know the words to all of it. And the theme song, "Burning Bridges" comes in as number 6 on my Funeral play list.

Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Love this song and I had tape recorded the song from the end track of the movie before mp3 and all the net stuff. This is from another time. The movie was great. Funny and sad at the same time. And the little guy does win.
