[Westside]

As someone who has had a passionate interest in science and space since I was a child and has taught science and math, these lyrics always struck a chord:

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
 In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week"

Rocket Man by Elton John

Nice, granny. You're good at this.  I've seen Elton in concert many times(first time was in '79).  He always gives the fans a great show.

Here's one that I bet granny likes.  It's always been a favorite of mine.  I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. Can you name it?  One bonus point for being able to name the songwriter of  this classic:  

"Showed your photograph
To some old gray-bearded men
Sitting on a bench outside a gen'ral store
They said "yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the day before?"

I really like this song. I knew the lyrics, but I could not place them.  I ended up having to Google them, so I'm out.
