Always Stay Loving, Perry
I grew up overshadowed by steep oceans
Couldn't catch the eye of no city boy
Here I am devoted to Perry
How I love the way you look in your grey jeans
Can't believe I let the smog cloud my eye
Where the steep oceans stand
And the vast hills surround
I'll ride my brown truck with you by my side
There's a whisper in the Oxfordshire breeze
Reminding me of Bree
That whisper builds
That whisper cries
Bree in the morning skies
You appear on the horizon
Brushing that straight hair from your eyes

The city folk with their fancy gadgets
Cement oceans like grey tombs
Don't have nothin' on our way of life
Just listen to the cuckoos
Don't live your life like a city boy
Today might feel a time to be like a city boy
But that ain't no way to lead a life
You know, there's a lot I drive by in my brown truck
Folk who is messing up
Always stay loving, Perry
Always stay loving
In Oxfordshire, when I was a child
I met a loving man
"How can you be so loving?" asked I
Here was his wise reply
Don't live your life like a city boy
Today might feel a time to be like a city boy
But that ain't no way to lead a life
Met an old lady who lived like a city boy
"What happened to her?" asked I
Here was his wise reprise
Don't live your life like a city boy
Today might feel a time to be like a city boy
But that ain't no way to lead a life
That lady's gone now
It's sad really
Word is, she had straight hair once
Little Perry, keep your jeans grey
Always stay loving, Perry
Always stay loving
Cuckoos, cuckoos, cuckoos
Cuckoos, cuckoos, cuckoos...

The girls loved the applause they were getting after the song. Angela could see that the crowd loved it. She spotted the stage manager letting them know, they needed to exit the stage for the next singer.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very much.” Angela leaves the stage first, followed by the rest of the girls.

“Man, I can’t believe how well that song went over.” Juni was amazed at how well the song was received.

“Me too.” Debbie was surprised they were playing that song here.

“Hey, they liked it.” Jessie was wiping down her guitar as they cool down in their bus.

Cassady was glad the performance was over. Her t-shirt was soaked through.

“I need to find a better antiperspirant.” Cassady walks to the bathroom and sponges wash her pits.

“Hey, Juni, did you buy that saddle you were looking at?” Debbie looks at her friend.

“Yep, and it’s already here on the bus.” Juni liked the saddle she spotted at the vendor’s stall.

Jessie looks at Juni “I didn’t know you ride.”

“Yeah, I use to ride horses when I was younger. However, when my parents moved, I had to give it up. Recently I and my boyfriend have taken up riding again.” Juni loved horses.

“So, that’s why you have been dressing more country than normal.” Angela has known Juni for a long time.

“Yep.” Juni puts her guitar away.

Cassady comes walking out of the bathroom feeling better. She looks at everyone as she grabs a Pepsi from the refrigerator. “Does, anyone want anything, while I’m over here?”

“I’ll take a water if there are any.” Debbie was feeling thirsty.

“One water coming up.” Cassady grabs flavor water and carries it over to Debbie.

She hands the bottle to Debbie.

“Thanks.” As Debbie accepts it.

“You’re welcome.” Cassady sits down on the sofa across from Debbie and Juni.

“So, where are we off to this time?” Cassady looks towards Angela for an answer.

“I don’t know.”

“So, who does?” Jessie directs her question toward Angela.

“Cynthia does.” Angela knew Cynthia was handling everything.

“Where is she?” Debbie was curious.

“Collecting your pay.” Rick walks onto the bus.

Behind Rick was Marty. Both men looked like they were ready to have a drink.

“Oh, so did she tell you where we are heading next?” Angela looks at Rick as he grabs a beer from the refrigerator.

“Your next gig is in Washington D.C. at a bar called the Double Deuce.” Marty knew where the place was.

“Wasn’t that the name of the bar from the movie Road House?” Cassady loved Patrick Swayze movies.

“Yep, and it’s the name of the bar we're going to next. You girls have a two-night gig there.” Cynthia comes walking onto the bus.

“Cool. I hope they have a mechanical bull.” Juni wanted to show off.

“Oh, they have two of them.” Marty looks over towards Juni when he says that.

“Cool.” A smile appears on Juni’s face.

“So, when are we leaving?” Cassady looks towards Cynthia for an answer.

“Tomorrow morning. I figure the guys could use a rest and you girls could too.” Cynthia knew everyone was still energized by their performance.

“Cool.” Cassady wasn’t going to waste the opportunity to have some fun.

“Well, I’m heading to bed. You, ladies, have fun.” Rick heads towards his bunk.

“I got some work to do.” Cynthia gets up and heads towards the back of the bus.

“I think I’ll join my cousin.” Jessie gets up and heads towards her bunk.

“Me too.” Juni gets up and heads to bed as well.
