And I think I'd like for David Allan Coe to write the song.
"I like cheap thrills. If I ain't supposed to do it I will."
"It was all that I could do to keep from crying. Sometimes it seems so useless to remain."
"LORD, I'VE BEEN TALKIN WHEN I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED
LISTENING WHEN I SHOULD HAVE SPOKE
LIGHTING A MATCH TO OLD MEMORIES
SENDING THEM ALL UP IN SMOKE
SINGING WITH NO ONE TO HEAR ME
FIGHTING MY WAY TO THE TOP
ROLLING WITH ALL OF THE PUNCHES
WONDERING IF THEY'D EVER STOP."
"Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?"
" Well I hope the years that wrinkled up our faces
Have enjoyed us half as much as we did then."
" Mama taught us how to sing in harmony
Grandma used to stomp her foot and slap her knee
I can still hear daddy singin'
Down by the old mill stream
When uncle Jim played the fiddle
You could hear it talk you could hear it sing."
"Coal-burin' stove, no natural gas
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass."

BLAST FROM THE PAST
Here is my post from March 26, 2003. I thought it would be appropriate to post it again since Thanksgiving is a comin'.
Yep, I'm thankful!, for having indoor plumbing cause I'm not partial to spiders and snakes and smelly old outhouses.
For being able to eat and pay the bills AT THE SAME TIME! For shoes and clothes that fit and for having enough of them that I don't have to wear the same thing three times in the same 7 day period. For the right to say NO, or FUCK, or I disagree, even if they may not be appropriate at any given time. For having a home, with heat and a/c, cause I remember not having much of one in days past so that when it rained or snowed there was almost as much participition inside as there was out. For my healthy children who can choose what they want to do with their lives and even if it doesn't amount to much, they have the choice. For being able to choose what I want to read and what I want to hear. Yes, I do believe I'm thankful.
