Country music, half true stereotypes, bad impersonations, and some decent ones too. I worked the night shift so it was a little quiet, I may these over the two weeks to keep myself entertained. Hopefully it does the same for you.

Lyrics
Fallin' ain't flyin', that's what my cousin said. I said "You'll never know better if you wait 'til you're dead." Me and my brother stepped up to the ledge, then we all went over and before I hit the water, I'll
Chorus
Fly, for a moment, I'll jump off. Though I might die, I'd rather live, and die, than never spread my wings and fly.
Miss Hartlee was a young girl, back when we met. I didn't want to take a chance and 'get my heart broke' again. "Come with me forever," I whispered and took her hand. I couldn't keep it together, so I went for it and said. We'll (chorus)

When we dropped that shackle, with the pin in our hands, I didn't think that we'd make it, but we came through as friends. When the hull left the water, I heard my old song again, and I whispered to myself, "Thanks God for playing it again."

Something about the way Billy Joe Shaver was country AF but could sing the blues with the best of them really helped tie a lot of things together for me. One of my biggest influences growing up was my cousin John Alex Mason, who sang and played the blues like they were supposed to be done - Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, Son House, and RL Burnside. I discovered Billy Joe in my 20’s and he just blew my mind. I never got to meet him, and I will always regret that, but his music will #liveforever. Maybe I’ll do that one next ?
