Okay, here's another song I know you guys don't know so I'll just post it. It reminds me of my childhood in the south.

Artist: Don Williams
Song: Good Ole Boys Like Me


When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed,
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head.
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man,
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand,
He talked about honor and things I should know.
Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door.

CHORUS:
I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees.
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Hank and Tennessee.
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be.
So what do you do with good ole boys like me.

Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does.
But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was.
The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen.
John R. and the Wolfman kept me company.
By the light of the radio by my bed,
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head.

I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees.
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Hank and Tennessee.
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be.
So what do you do with good ole boys like me.


When I was in school I ran with kid down the street.
But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed.
But I was smarter than most and I could choose,
Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news.
When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road.
But it really doesn't matter how far I go.

I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees.
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Hank and Tennessee.
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be.
So what do you do with good ole boys like me.

Actually, one of my all time favorite songs and one of my favorite artists. I say that, but I only know two of his songs. This one and err...I Believe In Love.

I'm so glad we had this time together,
Just to have a laugh, or sing a song.
Seems we just got started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say, 'So long.'

There's a time you put aside for dreamin',
And a time for things you have to do.
The time I love the best is in the evening -
I can spend a moment here with you.

When the time comes that I'm feelin lonely,
And I'm feelin' ohooooo - so blue,
I just sit back and think of you, only,
And the Happiness still comes through.
That's why I'm glad we had this time together,
'Cause it makes me feel like I belong.
Seems we just got started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say, 'So long.'

Good night everyone!

Carol Burnett's theme song - I loved that show!!!

 

[Auntie]

There is a wonderful version of this song by Selah. They sing this, then go into "If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven". With my husband's health problems, well, obviously, with us being so young, it was just very scary to face that we may not have another 30 years together. I was having anxiety attacks about it until I heard that song. It really, really helped me come to terms with it and live day by day.

Here's another song that helps to face what we don't dare face.

Chris Ledoux was an Air Force "brat", and somehow eventually became a rodeo world champion. And a great singer/story teller. He was plagued with a rare and deadly liver condition that eventually took him out. We lost Chris a couple years back, but his words and songs remain with us forever.


Artist: Chris Ledoux
Song: The Ride

I was six years old, my brother was ten.
One July day came running in,
Seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town,
So, of course, we headed on down.

Well it took us an hour to walk that far,
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar.
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair,
With a few old rides but there was ponies there.

Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still,
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel.
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum,
Swung me up and sat me down on one.

Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done.
Cowboy movies made it look like fun.
This old man whispered a few soft words,
It was the best advice I've ever heard.

Chorus:
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
And live like you ain't afraid to die
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride".

I went up a kid with shaking hands,
And I came down a full grown man.
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell,
Things were different for me now, I could tell.

'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in,
His rhyme would pop in my head again.
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails,
Brambles and thorns that life entails.

Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high.
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky.
And live like you ain't afraid to die.
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride.

Well I know some day farther down the road,
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown.
There'll stand a black horse riderless,
And I wonder if I'm ready for this.

So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail,
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell.
And lift my song into the air,
That I learned at that dusty fair.

Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high.
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky.
And live like you ain't afraid to die.
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride.

Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride.


Farwell, brother Chris.

Once in the Highlands...

I know this one!!!
Once in the Highlands, the highlands of Scotland...
Deep in the night on a murky brae
There in the highlands, the highlands of Scotland
Two weary hunters lost their way...

From Brigadoon!!! I love that show...
