Today's Lyrics ... from the Vault!

Whee! Okay, for some reason I dug into my country albums today and pulled out Montgomery Gentry. Not sure exactly what happened or how I got there considering I started out looking for Michael W. Smith's "Friends." But at any rate, I've been listenin' to the two albums of theirs that I have. I was attracted to their work after hearing the songs "Hell Yeah" and "If You Ever Stop Loving Me."

Currently playing is this song... and it struck me enough to share it here:

MONTGOMERY GENTRY
I Ain't Got It All That Bad

(verse 1)
Well I ain't got It all that bad, there's tougher lives I might have had,
Sometimes I live hand to mouth, But there are those who go without,
Might be things I wish I had, But when I look at where I'm at,
I ain't got It all that bad

(verse 2)
In my time I've tried it all, Free love, drugs and alcohol,
Got loaded up to kiss the sky, Just about kissed the world good-bye,
There are those who never made it back, Me I got lucky and found a landin' pad,
Hey I ain't got It all that bad

(bridge)
I've got the sunshine and a few good friends I've found,
A roof to give me shelter when the rain comes down,
I've got tomorrow in a promise that it brings,
A new chance that still worth takin,
And a dream that still has wings

(verse 3)
These days I don't ask for much, Just the grace of God and my woman's touch,
Strength each day to face the fight, And a place in someone's prayers at night,
Life enough to love and laugh, IF I end up with half of that,
I ain't got it all that bad,
I ain't got it all that bad,
I ain't got it all that bad


Another track that I've resurrected and haven't listened to in a hot minute is this one by Cross Canadian Ragweed. It's a great one too. And appropo I think. :)

CROSS CANADIAN RAGWEED
Sick And Tired

Got your bag on your shoulder, Never thought once about thinkin' it over.
Feel like you're the only one, Who's ever been in a bad situation.
Now you need to take yourself a love vacation, 'Cause after all, what's done is done.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever, Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known, Except for home.

He made a promise he couldn't keep. I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
Over how you're getting down the line. Now don't you fret, now don't you worry,
Don't get in too much of a hurry, 'Cause up ahead's that city limit sign.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever, Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known, Except for home.

Home is where the heart is: That's what somebody once said. (Yeah.)
I think your heart is where your love is: All the rest baby, the rest it's all in your head.

Well, memories, they're over-rated: All they do is get you down an' frustrated,
And who needs that on their back? Starting over, cold turkey,
Washin' your soul of everything that's dirty. Seal your heart of every crack.

You're no longer sick and tired. Everything around you feels brand new.
Yeah. the days fly by, the nights could be longer: Every day you're just a little bit stronger,
Now that you've spread your wings and flown,

Back to home.
Back to home.
Back to home. (Home.)
Yeah, back to home.
(Back to home.)

Peace,
Jenna
