Just before we wound up broken-down

from a great song by Old Crow Medicine Show:

We're all in this thing together
Walkin' the line between faith and fear
This life don't last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears

Come my friend, let's put this thing together
And walk the path our worn out feet have trod
If you want, we could go on forever
Give up your jaded ways, spell your name to God

We're all in this thing together
walkin the line between faith and fear
this life don't last forever
when you cry I taste the salt in your tears

All we are is a picture in a mirror
Fancy shoes to grace our feet
All there is is a slow road to freedom
Heaven above and the devil beneath


Melis reminded me this weekend at HSB Fest what Harland Howard famously quoted, and is displayed on the wall at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, that "country music is 3 chords and the truth." OK, I can get down with that.
