Country Songs

You can judge a country song “epic”,

When the steel guitar strings scream…

The tune becomes one with your body;

You have lived what the lyrics mean.

“Today was Angie’s Birthday,

I guess it slipped your mind” *…

Sorry Angie, but life happens,

Merle knows that life’s unkind.

Yet some songs can deliver you,

To a cabin in the wood…

Where blue smoke from the chimney

Signals life is sweet and good.

*“ Holding Things Together” Merle Haggard
