David Cassidy is probably seen as totally cheesy and, in some cases, I'd agree. However, this song I've always loved a lot. It has such a nice storyline to it and you can imagine the images being described to you with such ease.
David Cassidy was first launched to fame on the tv show 'The Partridge Family' and the set-up was similar to the one on 'The Monkees' where they had songs on the show that were then released to chart success. They had some great songwriters working for them and therefore the songs certainly were, in my opinion, at the higher end of quality for that genre. They had fun pop songs that are infectious and you can't help but enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this week's little ditty!!
David Cassidy - Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque
Window walkin' downtown,
Feelin' mighty good
And I noticed from the corner
How all alone she stood
Underneath the lamplight, an angel in disguise
Lonely little runaway with teardrops in her eyes
Crazy little ragdoll,
Her hair was wild and tossed
And I put my arm around her,
'Cause I knew that she was lost
She didn't seem to notice that anyone was near
'Till suddenly she turned to me and whispered in my ear
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I want to go home, and help me get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home
Showed me a ticket for a Greyhound bus,
Her head was lost in time
She didn't know who or where she was
"And anyone that helps me is a real good friend of mine"
Real good friend of mine
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
And help me get home, help me get home
Walked her to the station
And kissed away the tears
Knowing I'd remember
Through all the coming years
Ragdoll on that Greyhound who waved with all her might
Weeped against the window as the bus rolled out of sight
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I want to go home, and help me get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I want to go home, and help me get home
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
I need to get home, need to get home
