(by Gram Parsons)
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
and welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
and I'll show you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
and a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
and I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
and they all lead me straight back home to you
Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil,
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee
We flew straight across that river bridge,
last night at half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
and so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
that I've never been shown
And I saw my devil,
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee
The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old Bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
and I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
and they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Counting Crows is an American rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1989. Their sound is characterized by catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and a strong folk-rock influence. After years of performing in clubs, the band signed with Geffen Records in 1993. Their debut album, *August and Everything After*, became an international success thanks to the single «Mr. Jones», achieving multi-platinum status. The success brought intense pressure on frontman Adam Duritz, who suffered a nervous breakdown. This difficult period is reflected in their subsequent album, *Recovering the Satellites* (1996). Over the years, Counting Crows have continued to release successful albums such as *This Desert Life* (2002) and *Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings* (2008), maintaining a loyal following thanks to their authentic music and Duritz's charisma. Some of the band's most representative songs include «Round Here», «A Long December» and «Anna Begins».

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
