I grew up Country - so I cry Country Tears.... Right

Ok, Now like every other girl in the 70's I grew up singing
Delta Dawn what's that flower you got on could it be a faded.... from days gone by
and then there was the
LIKE A RHINESTONE COWBOY - yep then my brother would go "boing boing"
"getting card and letters from people I don't even know"

I even had the origional Donny and Marie "I'm a little bit Country - and I'm a little bit Rock and Roll. I was really cool.

Yesterday I tried to sing the whole song "YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE" in front of my son to my husband just for fun. Funny how we forget some of the words. I did make up some great new ones and we laughed and laughed till Callie (the dog) thoughed it was tickle time!

Here is the kicker.
I have all along made my kids (ok they havn't been tied down I have let them listen if they want to) listen to all sorts of stuff and it just so happens that C. W. McCALL Convoy was one of my favorites so we played it alot. So was Johnny Cash. Well Johnny Cash just passed away. So.... His songs are popular and we didn't plan on that. It is strange that he was still writing music till his dying day. I am so taken back by what it is and says that I just have to share it. So many emotions have I been through the last year that it seems like his life has been mixed with mine somehow and in that I feel the need to share this video. Maybe there is a message for us all in it somehow!!

If you haven't heard Johnny's final album, American V: A Hundred Highways, and you're a country music fan, then you're missing out. Producer Rick Rubin summed it up best when he said, "These songs are Johnny's final statement. They are the truest reflection of the music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music that Johnny wanted us to hear." Listen to “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” http://christianmusic.about.com/b/a/257016.htm

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
