Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-little-girl-feat-alison-krauss-dan-tyminski/1522294259?i=1522295833)

This song just came on my playlist and it's such a sad song from back in the day. Really sums up how a lot of kids live, unfortunately.

"Letters from Home" by John Michael Montgomery

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/letters-from-home/7020906?i=7021040)

What song makes you want to write a letter?

Today's prompt is an easy one for me. Letters From Home by John Michael Montgomery. Great song with a powerful message behind it in my opinion and one that fits today's prompt very well.

[Verse 1]
My dearest son, it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up with you and finds you well
It's been dry but they're callin' for rain
And everything's the same ol'-same in Johnsonville
Your stubborn ol' daddy ain't said too much
But I'm sure you know he sends his love
And she goes on, in a letter from home

[Chorus]
I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
And they all laugh like there's something funny
'Bout the way I talk, when mama sends her best y'all
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
And it keeps me drivin' on, waitin' on
Letters from home

[Verse 2]
My dearest love, it's almost dawn
I've been layin' here all night long
Wonderin' where you might be
I saw your mama and I showed her the ring
Man on the television said something
So I couldn't sleep
But I'll be alright, I'm just missin' you
And this is me kissin' you
X's and O's in a letter from home

"I Swear" by John Michael Montgomery

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-swear/434129654?i=434129661)

What song would you use to describe your current relationship?

This daily prompt is super easy for me. It's an oldie but a goldie as they say. The song that best describes my marriage is I Swear by John Michael Montgomery. Just a perfect relationship/marriage song in every way possible if you ask me.

It's always been a top favorite of mine and I never get tired of hearing it.

[Verse 1]
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes, I'll never break your heart

[Chorus]
I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear, like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear

[Verse 2]
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page, my love won't age at all

"Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" by John Michael Montgomery

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/sold-the-grundy-county-auction-incident/50235012?i=50235016)

I got busy at work yesterday and forgot to post my song that I wanted to post, so I'm posting it a day late. The song is Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident) by John Michael Montgomery.

Picking this song for a couple of reasons. First, because I love everything John Michael has ever done. I was a huge fan of his back when he was popular. But second, because of just how funny the song is, both beat wise and lyrics. It's just one of those upbeat, funny, catchy songs that I love to listen to. It's kind of fast-paced, especially for a country song from back in the 1990's and I remember the first time I heard it, I knew I wanted to memorize the lyrics which took a while.

[Verse 1]
Well, I went down to the Grundy County Auction
Where I saw something I just had to have
My mind told me I should proceed with caution
But my heart said go ahead and make a bid on that

[Chorus]
And I said, "Hey, pretty lady, won't you gimme a sign?"
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your bidding and be at your beck and call
Yeah, I've never seen anyone looking so fine
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one of a kind
I'm going once, going twice
And I'm sold on the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know
She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
And I'm about to bid my heart goodbye
