about

One of the only times I remember writing a song for Hit Machine. I took my bike to get some provisions at the store at the bottom of the long street..Rheem Blvd. As I pushed my bike back up the hill..this song came to me. I went into the session..practiced some chords and shared with the band. The lyrics are fascinating to me....they mean that our love will last forever...if and only if...you love me. If not..then we will never come together..never...as long as it takes the communists to leave China.. My guitar is out of tune..which I love..it adds to the bitter sweet sound of the song. Some 40 years later...Chayton and Twila and myself added the necessary full Chorus to this song...the way I always wanted to hear it.

lyrics

Oh baby when I see you on the street
I know you now..you're looking neat
I wonder can we ever get together and Love
I'll never ever Love you....till all the Reds leave China
You wonder where I've been at night...I've Been Alone
My heart is aching..and I tell you I'll always be Alone
I'll never ever love you...until all the Reds Leave China
It's been dead on about you girl
Where's your heart..and I'm missing you instead
Because I will never ever Love you...until all the Reds Leave China
You've been a naughty girl and left me alone in this hard hard world
You've never been the same..since I left you alone
I'll never ever love you till all the Reds leave China
When you're going to leave me... Bam!!!
