Story Behind The Song
I'm a letter carrier by day and I walk many places. More than most. I do have a preference where I go, though my job dictates that most often. This song sets a nice walking pace and was written while I was on my mail route. I had pink petals from an Albany tree on the toes of my nasty hiking boots ...seemed like a que for a song to me.
Song Description
This song plays with all sorts of happy images of spring. The renewal of growth in the trees. The hope for better things. Lottery wins are thrown in as a possibility. Spring is a magic time of year when all things seem possible. That is what this song is trying to capture

Lyrics
PINK PETALS
When I take the path that I choose
I've got pink petals on the toes of my shoes
I'll buy a ticket 'cause today, I can't lose
I've got pink petals of the toes of my shoes
(2nd time inst)
Rain like wine to branches blooming anew
Confetti fine, all drenched in drizzle and dew
Walking off my wintery blues
With pink petals on the toes on my shoes
And the only thing that would please me more
Would be to find myself at your front door * * * *
When I take the path that I choose
With pink petals on the toes of my shoes
I've got pink petals on the toes of my shoes
(last time) Love those petals on the toes of my shoes
And if it's sunny we can plant a little garden
Before it rains we'll toss the lawn a bit of seed
And in the evening when we're weary wined and yawning
We'll cuddle up and maybe see where that might lead
It's spring.... ....... let's fling
Come on spring .... .......... let's fling (to beginning)
