**Maverick** is a legend of the West.

I always thought “Jackson Queens” sounded like someplace in New York.

Lots of theme songs have words which were never meant to be used. Something to do with royalties = you get paid for them even if you never hear them.

:eek: 😃

Folks are folks and kids are kids we share a common name.  
We speak a different way but work and play the same.

We sing pretty much alike, enjoy Spring pretty much alike;  
Peace and love we all understand and laughter, we use the very same brand.  
This song has been haunting for years.  
I regret not buying it when I found it in the $1.99 bargin bin. :eek: 😃
