Song Lyrics That Hit Home

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware
 
It's just an old double barrel twelve
The stock is cracked and it kick's like hell
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one
I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
My Granddaddy's gun

You sir are an introspective person who seems to find solitude and friendship in your own mind. Nature seems to calm my mind to the point of balance needed for clarity in deciding what is needed, and what is perceived, and I am guessing you are the same....

You should meet him in person. My friend he is.
 
Found you.
Kane Brown.
After being married for 34 years, it kinda sums up my new life.
Just sayin...
 
This song makes me happy because I remember my daddy let me/showed me how to drive his 65 Malibu when I a kid sitting in his lap. There won't much traffic round here back then and many dirt/mud roads we went down to go fishing and hunting. He showed me how to shift the 3 on the tree and work the clutch on the chevy and a F-100 and 150 .He also let me drive the boats he bought to fish Kerr Lake and Cape Lookout, how to use the compass and to mind the clouds/weather when we went offshore........ It was the years I was 6 to 14 yo.
I remember he let me bring the boat to the ramp @ County Line alone when we left to go home one time. It was about 3 miles on the water from a friends property were we camped, I think I was 12 and I felt like a captain when I put the boat on the trailer.




......now pops getting long in the tooth and I cry whenever I hear this song because I've lived 2/3s of the song..... :(

Tell em all I'm on vacation,
Say I went to visit friends,
That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while,
When they ask you where I've been,
Tell em I'm out on the west coast where it don't ever rain,
And that I'm probably doing fine,
Just don't tell em I've gone crazy,
That I'm still strung out over you,
Tell em anything you want to,
Just don't tell em all the truth,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,
Tell em all I'm out in Vegas,
Blowin' every dollar I ever made,
Tell em that I must be into something bad for me cause,
I sure lost a lot of weight,
Tell em I'm out on the road with some old rock and roll band,
Living like a gypsy can,
Just don't tell em I've gone crazy,
That I'm still strung out over you,
Tell em anything you want to,
Just don't tell em all the truth,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,
The truth is that I'm asking you to lie,
And we both know that it ain't right,
But if you ever loved me please,
Have some mercy on me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tell em anything you want to,
Just don't tell em all the truth,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,
I still need you,
Yeah that's the truth,
I still love you,
Baby that's the truth.

A woman can ruin you I pretty much went missing for a month way back when
 
They say once a mommas boy always a mommas boy... the day I could relate in some ways to this song and truly say these things to my ma and it be the truth, I found a whole new outlook on life with the help of her and my two little nieces. I know everyday for the last 17 years I’ve progressed more and more in some little way despite the hell we went through in my childhood and early teen years!
 
"I do not wish to evade the world.
Yet I will forever build my own.
Forever, my own.
Forever, my home."

 
When you're come in from the bottom, you don't feel like number one
They'll be days that seem impossible until you get 'em done
I've been running to the things I thought I was running from
But I'll run until the day my breath is taken from my lungs

Well, I prayed for pеaceful waters
But the storms alrеady came
So let it rain
Let it rain
When the going gets a little harder
Don't throw it all away
Even though they're moving slow
The winds of change are gonna blow like a hurricane

When you've made it to the top, you don't feel like number one
You can't stop because they count on you to be what you've become
It's not an option but to run at things you should be running from
'Cause you've gotten what you want and now you've got to get it done

Well, I prayed for peaceful waters
But the storms already came
So let it rain
Let it rain
When the going gets a little harder
Don't throw it all away
Even though they're moving slow
The winds of change are gonna blow like a hurricane
 
The night I hit rock bottom, sittin' on an old barstool
He paid my tab and put me in a cab, but he didn't have to
But he could see I was hurtin', oh, I wish I'd got his name
'Cause I didn't feel worth savin', but he saved me just the same

That day out on the water, when the fish just wouldn't bite
I put my pole down, I floated around, was just so quiet
And I could hear my old man sayin' "Son, just be still
'Cause you can't find peace like this in a bottle or a pill"

-Larry Fleet --Where I Find God

Song get me every time and it always reminds me to be thankful for everything i got
 
I've been thinking a lot about my Daughter's future and I know one day I will have to do this and I had heard the song before but not in its entirety (Because I didn't want to cry) until My wife and I went and saw Post Malone in concert and he played this and I sat there and bawled.

Post Malone - Yours

I don't know who you are, but one day I'm going to
And it's gonna break my heart when she gives hers to you
And it won't be tomorrow but it's gonna be too soon
When I walk her down that aisle and do what daddy's have to do

And she might be wearin' white
But her first dress it was pink
She might be your better half
Yeah, but she's my everything
We'll both love her forever
But I loved her long before
And one day I know I'll give her away
Buddy, that don't mean she's yours

Yesterday she said her first word
She's a long way from "I do"
Right now she runs to me
One day she'll run to you
And it's gonna be your best day
But it's gonna be my worst
You might watch her walkin' towards you, but I
Saw her walkin' first

And she might be wearin' white
But her first dress it was pink
She might be your better half
Yeah, but she's my everything
We'll both love her forever
But I loved her long before
And one day I know I'll give her away
Buddy, that don't mean she's yours
