Out of the thousands of songs that I have loaded on my iPod, this one surfaced. Yikes........
Pink Floyd "One Slip"
A restless eye across a weary room A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin The music played and played as we whirled without end No hint, no word her honour to defend
I will, I will she sighed to my request And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire I lead the way to the funeral pyre And without a thought of the consequence I gave in to my decadence
One Slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no Time at all A Momentary Lapse Of Reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you won’t forget, There’ll be no sleep in here tonight
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove? The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
One Slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no Time at all A Momentary Lapse Of Reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you will never forget, There’ll be no sleep in here tonight
The preacher man says it’s the end of time And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry The interest is up and the Stock Markets down And you only get mugged If you go down town
I live back in the woods, you see A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
Because you can’t starve us out And you cant makes us run Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun And we say grace and we say Ma’am And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coalmines And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City He never called me by my name, just hillbilly My grandpa taught me how to live off the land And his taught him to be a businessman He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights And I’d send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife For 43 dollars my friend lost his life Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes And shoot him with my old 45 Cause a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun And we say grace and we say Ma’am And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn
We’re from North California and south Alabam And little towns all around this land And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love Purpose hard to find While I recall all the words you spoke to me Can't help but wish that I was there Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you Is to hold her when I'm not around When I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again, oh no Once again
There's nothing here for me on this barren road There's no one here while the city sleeps And all the shops are closed Can't help but think of the times I've had with you Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is To hold her when I'm not around, When I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
Some search, never finding a way Before long, they waste away I found you, something told me to stay I gave in, to selfish ways And how I miss someone to hold When hope begins to fade...
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love Hope is hard to find
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is To hold her when I'm not around, When I'm much too far away We all need the person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again

I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know
I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears Thats why i need you to hear
I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is You
and the reason is You [x3]
I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know

Beautiful Horrible Magical Terrible Reason to laugh and smile Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night Start a fight Make up, break up Wrong or right Heaven for all it's worth Can equally be hell right here on earth

Hey tore away the veil of weakness The enemy now lies beneath us I think we're safe
Hey Won't be held down any longer No disgrace and no dishonor Keep us chained
[Chorus:] There's nothing we should have to fear It's alright We've come to life
We'll never shed another tear It's alright We've come to life
Hey the bulletproof are so resilient To every fool with an opinion They never break
By the way We scream to find a reason Never doubt or stop believing And escape
[Chorus]
Now wicked tongues can speak And rewrite history But you can't keep the truth contained And like this song was sung Just realize we're one And don't forget we're here to stay
Take me out to the ball game Take me out to the crowd Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks I don't care if I ever get back And it's root, root, root for the home team If they don't win, it's a shame Cause it's one, two, three strikes You're out At the old ball game.
Actually, I don't go to many games. It costs about a car payment to go to one with parking, food, tickets etc and I have lots of other stuff to spend my money on...
Things like house payments, eating, buying stff to wear...
DS23 goes to a handful of games per year and we have a local AA Northern League minor league team in Joliet that you can get good seats to for 10 bucks. We go to about 10 games or so there per year. Our company has season tickets most years as well, though not this year. I sold the team their radio system and got their FCC license for them when they first started up.
DS23 played B-ball from the time he was 4 through high school. Between baseball and wrestling we had something going on year-round.
At our house we are definitely Cubs fans. We had three puppies named Wrigley, Lilly and Zambrano. We still have Wrigley...
Give me a word Give me a sign Show me where to look Tell what will I find ( will I find ) Lay me on the ground Fly me in the sky Show me where to look Tell me what will I find ( will I find )
Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)
Love is in the water Love is in the air Show me where to go Tell me will love be there ( love be there ) Teach me how to speak Teach me how to share Teach me where to go Tell me will love be there ( love be there )
Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)
Im going to let it shine (x2) Heavens little light gonna shine on me Yea yea heavens little light gonna shine on me Its gonna shine, shine on me Its gonna shine, come on in shine.
I freely admit it, I'm about as far from a country music fan as you can get. BUT, I will also admit that this song puts a tear in my eyes. I love it and Ike always laughs at me.
On a weird note, though; when I was a little kid I used to say I was going to grow up and marry Hank Williams Jr. I wonder now what the heck my parents were subjecting me to!
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

I liked this one by Kellie Pickler. Don't think it's shown up here yet. Anyway, dedicated to all WS's.....
Are you ashamed? Ashamed that every time you hear my name Brought up in a casual conversation You can't think straight
And ain't it sad? You can't forget about what we had So take a look at her and do you like what you see Or do you with it was me
I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met to the very last night And it's just too bad you've already had The best days, the best days of your life
Does she know? Know about the times you used to hold me Wrap me in your arms and how you told me I'm the only one
I heard about Yeah someone told me once when you were out She went a little crazy, ran her mouth about me Ain't jealousy funny
I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met to the very last night And it's just too bad you've already had [ Kellie Pickler Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] The best days, the best days of your
Life with me was a fairy tale love I was head over heels 'til you threw away us And it's just too bad you've already had The best days, the best days of your life
I heard you're gonna get married Have a nice little family Live out my dreams with someone new But I've been told that a cheater Is always a cheater I've got my pride and she's got you
I'll be there in the back of your mind From the day we met 'til you were making me cry And it's just too bad you've already had The best days, the best days of your life
You're gonna think of me You're gonna think of me Your life
Ha! It's a shame It's a shame
BS - me 56 XWH - 57
12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.
6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.
9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented WH wants nothing to do with me
This song could be from a FWS to a BS or vice versa...or even one person to another just trying to make it though this mess.
Couldn't find an audio link but here's the lyrics:
If ever you are feeling like you're tired And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill
I ask of you a very simple question Did you think for one minute that you were alone And is your suffering a privilege you share only Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home
Just wait Just wait Just wait And it will come
If you think I've given up on you you're crazy And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong In time you might take to feeling better Time is the beauty of the road being long
I know that now you feel no consolation But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud I say this without fear of hesitation I can honestly tell you that you make me proud
Just wait Just wait Just wait And it will come Just wait Just wait Just wait And it will come
If anything I might have just said has helped you If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle And you appetit for pain might all but be gone
I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping Until that smile has once again returned to you face There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace
Just wait Just wait Just wait And it will come Just wait Just wait Just wait And it will come Just wait Just wait Just wait And it will come

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. --------Eleanor Roosevelt
