Clay Walker's "Then What?"

Well I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
But he never seems quite satisfied
I said I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass aint always greener on the other side

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Well I aint saying that looking's a crime
Well I've done my share from time to time
It dont mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's price for ever promise you dont keep

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Do want you want, do want you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Here is one by the Christian band Switchfoot. This is what we would hope all WSs would understand and do. It speaks of the day that the fog clears...and the WS is left with a choice. Of course, this song was written about the unbeliever looking for Christ...but this also works for the WS.


Dare You to Move

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone’s here
Everybody’s watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before.

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be.

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here.

TR...gotta like that one. Suppose it would be an LB to email it to the WS?

MM...wow are we on the same plane or what. I have been meaning to find out who sings that song. I hear it every night when I am working out. I think it applies to both the BS and WS. I am afraid that my WH would look at it as telling him to take a chance and go for the otherside. "Dare you to move" and make a decision to go for it. Went to a New Years party with the family (including) WH and everyone cheered me on to Karyoke. I picked an Eagles song because I like them. Didn't realize the meaning behind the lyrics until I was actually singing them. A friend after said "There wasn't any hidden meaning in that now was there".

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

TR:

Great Song - haven't heard it yet!

Mortar: My WXW would never get it!

Homer: Funny that "Desperado" is the song that our family (WXW & DD's) used to sing (loudly) in the car when we were driving to wherever! Wonder what WXW thinks when she hears it now. It's still a great song though!

Justcallmehomer....I would love to email that one to my WH too. I have to control my fingers from hitting the send button. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

TJ...That song is purrrrfect isn't it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Mortarman...I love that song. I was wondring who sang it.

I always liked that Clay Walker song too. Now I know why.

It's amazing isn't it? Actually my Mom is the one that told me to listen to that song. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
