Friday Tunes / Music: All In The Lyrics

[44hunter45]

This one gets me.

 

[44hunter45]

My youngest used to accompany me on this for our "Kitchen Concerts" at home. MRS45 would cry every time.
The story of a heroin addicted girl.

 

[44hunter45]

One for @Europe, original Girl in a Flatbed Ford. Her favorite Eagles line up. Thinking of you, dear lady.

 

[44hunter45]

Another "Kitchen Concert" number.

 

[44hunter45]

Great topic @fishing4sanity !

The guitars and bass caught me first with this, then the words smacked me.

"And maybe 'cause my Baby, she had a baby by me..."

If you don't know who John Mark McMillan is, check him out.

A song about the Biblical Rapture. Also about a man paying the ultimate price in war and the girl he left behind.
She waits for the Great Rapture to see him again.

Even if this isn't how you believe, this song just works.

 

[44hunter45]

Written by Cincinnati Bengal Mike Reid. Bonnie owned it. And who is that piano player?

Well here is number 2. Long story but I grew up a single child and only grandchild on a farm. Just me and my dad. He installed the truth in me that I could be or do whatever I set out to do. Do not wait for other people to provide for me, do what's right, take care of those who need help, yet do not let those take advantage of me. Man up, the world is tough, so I got to be tougher than what its going to try and do to me. I played this song at his funeral. God I miss him.

This is a good one. I was headed to the airport leaving Montana the other day and saw their tour bus on I90 as I drove to the airport.

 

[geetar]

One of my current favorites lyrically.

Good topic.

I have to remind myself every day that Most People Are Good - but it's a struggle every day and has been for the last 11 months and probably will be for the rest of my life. I live in Waukesha, WI. My wife and I were at the Christmas Parade last year to watch our son in the Waukesha South Marching Band. Our son was not hurt physically (it missed him by a couple feet), but the emotional toll on all three of us has been heavy.

Singer wrote this about St. Francis of Assisi, could be about you and me.
