I'm a fan of country music. Sometimes I think it's because I grew up listening to it as it was played in my Dad's basement work room. I even thought my Dad looked like Johnny Cash. He had that same wavy hair on top. Dad also liked Alan Jackson. There's a new song by Alan Jackson that reminds me of my Dad. Here are some of the lyrics of Small Town Southern Man:
Finally death came callin'
For this small town southern man
He said it's alright cause I see angels
And they got me by the hand
Don't you cry, and don't you worry
I'm blessed, and I know I am
'Cause God has a place in Heaven
For a small town southern man.
chorus:
And he bowed his head to Jesus
And he stood for Uncle Sam
and he only loved one woman
(He) was always proud of what he had
He said his greatest contribution
Is the ones you leave behind
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
Of a small town Southern man.
My Dad was a great guy and I miss him.
Grace and Peace,
Jane
