![]() CSN (1977) [ larger cover art ] |
Just a song before I go
To whom it may concern
Traveling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned
When the shows were over
We had to get back home
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone
She helped me with my suitcase
She stands before my eyes
Driving me to the airport
And to the friendly skies
Going through security
I held her for so long
She finally looked at me in love
And she was gone
Just a song before I go
A lesson to be learned
Traveling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned

| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Feb 20, 2013 - 16:45 Sounds more like Steely Dan than CSN. |
| bluejay08003 | Posted: Nov 18, 2012 - 15:49 Transports me to the 70s, and thinking I didn't really like this song all that much. Now it just sounds dated, and blends in with all its AM radio playlist-alikes—except we don't here them on RP. |

Nothing wrong with some nice road apples to add character to the journey of life. Well, at least they were honest about it. I'd be more appreciative if CSN had simply decided not to release this weak treacle. |

Can we get a, "I'm not a fan of these guys and I don't like this song"? That should cover the permutations. |
| MinMan (Bay Area, CA) | Posted: Jun 17, 2010 - 11:32 I first heard this at Odeon Hammersmith in 1976. It was a little too easy going then, as it is now. |
| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: May 16, 2010 - 16:41 I first heard this as I was packing up to leave college and venture into the big bad world. Update: College sucked, the big bad world is great! |

| countyman (pittsburgh) | Posted: Dec 27, 2008 - 12:58 Excellent song for lazen around looking out the window to the backyard full of snow drenched in the sunlight. Did I mention puffing on a "cigarette" also? Great times at Ballentine Hall, Clarion, Pa in the mid/late 70's. I can't believe that is is the first time for any song from this album to be played on RP! ! ! ! |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Dec 27, 2008 - 12:57 Nice. I was out of the loop when this came out in 1977. First time listen. I like it. |
