Are there song lyrics that strike a chord (pun intended) with you?

I love ANY island - especially tropical :)

A lot of Jimmy's songs
Simon and Garfunkel
I think songs by JB and S&G are good because they write them.
I got the quilting, parroting, and PART time RV'ing, but the retiree and full time riding is jjuuusssttt out of my reach...Couple more years and you and I can be twins :)

Military war deployment and TDY:
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
That's not what Pink Floyd meant when Waters wrote it... but I don't care about that. :0D

Agree, "Imagine" words are perfect. Have so very many
beautiful songs to list: This Nearly Was Mine (from South Pacific); If Ever I Would Leave You (Camelot); September Song (Fantastics); Let the Rest of the World Go By (from movie
Out of Africa) ... ah, yes, another movie buff.

Alabama, Angels Among Us
I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with thier mercy
In our time of need
Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

I think it would have to be Garth Brooks "Much too young to feel this damned old"
The reason this song is special is because I was on the road with 2 friends, trailering our 3 horses, coming home from a rodeo where we had competed the night before. We had stopped very early in the morning for breakfast in a small country town. It was my birthday that day and as we walked into the diner that song was playing. We were exhausted from traveling and somehow we just started laughing about how close that song was to our lives at the moment!
This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
