I grew up in Texas, listening to country music a lot. In fact, I'm kinda proud to say that my dad was a real life honky tonk singer. I can remember helping him load up the back of his truck with all his speakers, amps, guitars, etc. He got me my first guitar and I learned how to play it with country songs.
I have always listened to a wide variety of music. From country, to rock, to my fav - rap! Yes, I love rap. Anyways, as time went by, I almost stopped listening to country music all together. But every now and then, I hear a song I like.
Lately, I've been really down. I started this job with a new company and I really unhappy. It's been 3 months so far, maybe I just need to give it time, but the point is that I've really been finding reasons to complain about stuff lately.
Well, after I get out of the gym last night, I flipped the radio on, and it was on the country station. I almost turned it, but the first line of the song caught my attention -
"I have days where I hate my job".
Here is the song lyrics:
I have days where I hate my job,
This little town and the whole world too
And last sunday when the bengals lost
Lord it put me in a bad mood
I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the suns too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got
[chorus]
But I know Im a lucky man
Gods given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still runnin' good
My tickers tickin like they say it should
I've got supper in the oven
A good woman's lovin
And one more day to be my little kids dad
Lord knows I'm a lucky man
see the rest hereI hate to admit it choked me up a little. Anyways, I shouldn't complain. I have a lot that I'm blessed with!
Peace out! Have a great weekend!
