We sang “America The Beautiful” at church last Sunday, and I couldn’t get through it all.
I choke up on the National Anthem at sporting events. I always have my hand on my heart, and I am appalled that so few still do that.
Jolene - Dolly Parton (something about the brutal truth of it makes me feel really sad for Dolly) HA!
Walkin’ After Midnight - Patsy Cline (with a sip of bourbon this song reminds of every woman I’ve ever kissed)
The Four Seasons - Big Girls Don’t Cry
Pelvis Wesley - Don’t Cry Daddy
Paul Anka - It’s Time To Cry
Duane Eddy - 40 Miles of Bad Road
Randy Newman - Short People (If you’re one of them.)
The part in Living years when he says” I wasn’t there the day my father passed but I can see him in my new babies smile” Or something to that effect reminds me of my step dad who died 5 months before my wedding. And I was not there when he died.. See starting to tear up now.. UGH!
Oh I wasn’t there that morning when my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo in my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years.
This is the part that kicks my ass into a fetal position and blubbering..
This is fun.
Jody Reynolds - Endless Sleep
The Everly Brothers - Ebony Eyes
Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her
Delroy Watkins - I’m Dead
Jan and Dean - Dead Man’s Curve

I know I’m supposed to cry but I laugh like an idiot...yeah, I’m warped...

Shur nuff!!
The town is Rockwood. Glen Alice is a few miles from Rockwood towards Spring City. Nothing there anymore. Just a Church and a cemetery.
Ahh.. but ‘A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.’
“Roses for Mama”
Oh, that one HURT!!!
Hey man...thanks for the link. I know the song, but never saw that performance. Old George is a one-of-a-kind...
Breaking Us In Two
-Joe Jackson
Darryl Worley song “I Miss My Friend”....see the music video and cry like a baby ;-)
Or Amazing grace on Bagpipes. As the piper turns away and walks away from the grave site,the pipes grow faint.
