Alright

This may come as a shock to some of my readers, but I am a huge Country Music fan. I have been for a while now. Sure, it has been somewhat of an in the closet passion of mine because SO many people can't stand country. I have very few friends who actually enjoy Country music with me, but I have a special connection with the ones that do. To be able to share those heart-felt stories and melodies with someone is special. Especially when it is a song I would so relate to if I actually had someone special to sing it with. For now, I will just continue to fantasize that one day I will find someone who appreciates the love stories that so many Country songs convey and that we can sing at the top of our lungs in the car with each other. Like this one, for example, that I played so many times today, and then sung the rest of the day when I couldn't listen to at work:

Alright
by Darius Rucker

Alright, Alright
Yeah it's alright, alright

Don't need no five star reservations
I've got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine
Don't need no concert in the city
I've got a stereo and the best of Patsy Cline
Ain't got no caviar no Dom Perignon
But as far as I can see, I've got everything I want

Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me

Maybe later on we'll walk down to the river
Lay on a blanket and stare up at the moon
It may not be no French Riviera
But it's all the same to me as long as I've got you

It may be a simple life, but that's okay
If you ask me baby, I think I've got it made

Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me

It's alright by me, yeah yeah
When I lay down at night I thank the Lord above
For giving me everything I ever could dream of

Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright, alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright, alright
And I've got all I need, yeah
I've got all I need
And it's alright by me
Oh yeah, it's alright by me

I like to think of myself as easy to please, a simple person, and I just love this song because it gets right to the heart of that matter. That when you look at what's really important in life, it is just having someone to share it with. *Sigh* Hope I'm not sounding too pathetic lately on these blogs!!
