Story time and then I am done (Sorry if I hijacked PN).
The company that I worked for 7 years ago was building a place in China. I took many 2 week trips over there. About the third or fourth trip we were running out of work for us to do. I sent home the other guy I was with, so it was only me and the Chinese crew. The high temp was about 42 ad there were no windows of doors on the concrete building yet. I did not have enough work to keep me busy but I could not go home yet. It was Wednesday and I was not going to leave until Saturday, as you can guess I was not happy.
I decided to sweep up some sand that we had put on an epoxy floor the day before. I grabbed one of their brooms (Which is a bunch of sticks tied to a big stick) threw on my ear buds and started sweeping. The song "Nice and Warm" from Tab Benoit came on. A nice blues guitar lick and then the words that were perfect for my situation. I listened to it 3 times in a row and it became my anthem for the rest of the trip. The words really hit home because I am from SoCal and the sun is always nice and warm here.
Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones
Oh you know I shivered myself to sleep last night
the cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up and realized that
this ain't no place for me
and I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones
Some good old friends got together
and they took me away
from this cold old alley babe
to a warm place I could stay
oh I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
I'm so happy to see you all
and that old nasty chill is gone
