For the hell of it!
I'm gonna start a topic to keep myself busy when nobody else is around to talk to..... *sigh*
Boo hoo, I know. Pitiful, isn't it? 
So, here it is! Songs and lyrics that mean something to me..... 'cause I love music! 
Now, I'll get back to this one when I think of a few.
If anyone finds my sanity will they please return it to the WN lost and found? I'll check in later.

Re: For the hell of it!
While I'm thinking about some songs, here's some cute stuff for y'all to read (if there's anybody out there!!!)
NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!
HONESTY
My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in
the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a
charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.
OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a Note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are
not necessarily those of his parents"
KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During
her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother.
Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle."
MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker
room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement
and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"
ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The
variousappliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of
questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The Tooth Fairy will never believe this!"
DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." "And why not, darling?" he asked. "You know that it always gives you a
headache the next morning."
DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers, and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his Father always
said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto the Sonnn ... and into the hole he gooooes."
SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and
they won't let me talk!"
BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered
through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called out." What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in
the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear.

Re: For the hell of it!
That was a switch,,,a few clean stories for a change. Not bad MoonHowler! sounds like you have a set of twins plus another child, you must have your hands full ? Our baby and child days are over, we have 4 boys (men now) 22,24,26 & 30. One is in Georgia, one in south Carolina and two that still wont leave the nest. Well,, they left once, but they returned, Mama welcomed them with open arms, I reminded them to where the tractor was and told them they better keep their rooms clean,cloths and dishes washed and room and board was 100 a week, they just smiled and said yeah right Dad. What can I say, she spoiled them.

Re: For the hell of it!
This is true...
My youngest, Gillian, is somewhat of a tomboy. She always likes to help dad do things around the house. When we lived in our Hamilton townhome years ago, one time Gillian (about 7 then) wanted to help dad fix the upstairs toilet. So I asked her to use a wrench and tighten one of the nuts on the seat and she did her best. She was so happy!
She went outside to play with a girlfriend just under the kitchen window, where her mother was. Gillian told her friend excitedly "I helped dad fix the toilet!!!!!". Her friend said "YUCKKKK"!.
and Gillian said "HE MADE ME!!".

4. Men are like... Blenders... You need One, but you're not quite sure why.
5. Men are like... Chocolate Bars... Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.
6. Men are like... Coffee... The best ones are rich, warm, & can keep you up all night long.
7. Men are like... Commercials... You can't believe a word they say.
8. Men are like... Department Stores... Their clothes are always 1/2 off.
9. Men are like... Government Bonds... They take soooooooo long to mature.
10. Men are like... Mascara... They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
11. Men are like... Popcorn... They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
12. Men are like... Snowstorms... You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
13. Men are like... Lava Lamps... Fun to look at, but not very bright.
14. Men are like... Parking Spots... All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

Re: For the hell of it!
Okay, back to my original topic. Songs that mean something to me and songs that I just loooooooove!!
This song never fails to give me goosebumps!
Waylon Jennings- Rose In Paradise
She was a flower for the takin'
her beauty cut just like a knife...
He was a banker from Macon
he swore he'd love her all a his life...
He bought her a mansion on the mountain
with a formal garden and a lot a land...
But paradise became her prison
that Georgia banker was a jealous man!
Every time he'd talk about her
you could see the fire in his eyes...
He'd say, "I would walk through Hell on Sunday
to keep my Rose in Paradise...
He hired a man to tend the garden
and keep an eye on her while he was gone..
Some say they ran away together...
some say that gardner left alone...
Now the banker is an old man..
that mansion's crumlin' down...
He sits all day and he stares at the garden...
not a trace of her was ever found...
Every time he'd talk about her
you could see the fire in his eyes...
He'd say, "I would walk through Hell on Sunday
to keep my Rose in Paradise...
Now there's a rose out in the garden...
its beauty cuts just like a knife...
They say that it even grows in the winter time...
and blooms in the dead of the night...

Re: For the hell of it!
He's a giver- he'll give her- the kind of attention that- she's never known.
He's a helper- he'll help her- open the doors that she can't on her own.
He's a lover- and he'll love her- in ways that she's never been loved before.
He's a getter- he'll get her- by gettin' her into the world- she's been hungryin' for.
He's a charmer- he'll charm her- with money- and manners that- I never learned.
He's a leader- he'll lead her- across the pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn.
He's a talker- he'll talk her- right off of her feet- but he ain't gonna talk for long.
Cause he's a doer and he'll do her- the way that I'd never- I'll be goddamned if he won't do her wrong.
He's a taker- he'll take her- to places and make her fly- higher than she's ever dared to.
He'll take his time- while he's- takin' advantage-takin' her easy and slow.
And after he's taken the body and soul that she gives him he'll- take her for granted.
Take off and leave her......... takin' all of her pride when he goes...
What a man!
And 'hungryin' is not a typo! I always make fun of that part when I'm around my dad to get his goat.... He says, "Yeah, so?! Hungryin's a word!"

Re: For the hell of it!
This song was written after the law barged into the recording studio trying to arrest Waylon for possession of cocaine. One of his buddies kept one of the officers busy and Waylon threw the drugs and they landed perfectly behind the baseboard, never to be found again.... by the law
I'm for law and order, the way that it should be.
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me.
Someone called this outlaw, in some ol' magazine.
New York sent a posse down like I ain't never seen.
Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand.
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand.
We were wrapped up in our music, that's why we never saw,
The cars pull up, the boys get out and the room fill up with law.
They came pounding through the back door in the middle of the song.
They got me for possession of something that was gone, long gone.
Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand.

Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand.
Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand, out of hand?
