Sunshine Daydream |
I'm a down home girl from the Great State of Tennessee. I live in Virginia with my Sailor. I love to sip a brew on a sunny day and dig my toes into the grass. I hula hoop when the sun shines, to the music, or just when I am feeling lonely. This life is beautiful. And I plan to dance my way through it. |
“If It Hadn’t Been For Love” Covered by Adele
Love this song, so glad to hear her cover it.
RIP Etta James

“Turning Tables” by Adele
(To: You From: Me)
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we’re fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can’t keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can’t breathe
So, I won’t let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won’t rescue you to just desert me
I can’t give you the heart you think you gave me
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Under haunted skies I see you (ooh)
Where love is lost your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down
I can’t keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can’t breathe
So, I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won’t rescue you to just desert me
I can’t give you the heart you think you gave me
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables
Next time I’ll be braver
I’ll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I’ll be braver
I’ll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won’t rescue you to just desert me
I can’t give you the heart you think you gave me
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables

“You Really Got a Hold of Me” by She & Him
“Your Daddy Hates Me” by Drive By Truckers
I know your Daddy hates me and I got a room in hell reserved.
I know he wants to kill me and it’s the least that I deserve
But I always loved his daughter, that’s something that I know you know.
Just sometimes don’t do what I ought to, sometimes I yes when I should no.
I know your Daddy hates me and I drink more than a whale
but my failures ain’t for lack of trying it’s just a little too late now to prevail.
But you always knew I was a screw up, long before I screwed us up.
You said it endeared you to me, but in the end you just gave up
And I always loved your Daddy, I loved your Mama even more
And I always loved their daughter, that’s for sure.
And I know your Daddy hates me, I know I’d probably hate me too.
But, I also know you don’t hate me, even though you’d probably like to and ought to.
And it’s a little too late for writing love songs, but I never did anything on time.
Happiness for your big adventure.
See you Darling down the line.
And I always loved your Daddy, I loved your Mama even more And you always were the apple of my eyes, that’s for sure
“Sounds Better in the Song” by Drive By Truckers
When I saw her standing there, with her bright eyes and shining hair,
she was looking back at me.
Some are meant to sing, some are meant to talk and some aren’t meant to say a thing.
But when she opened up her mouth and that sweet voice came out
I lost track of my own name.
Now she’s found herself, and I lost mine
and I’m just another guy who can’t give her anything.
Well the drifter, He holds on to his youth just like it was money in the bank.
And “Lord knows, I can’t change” sounds better in the song
than it does with hell to pay.
I might as well of slipped that ring on your finger from a window of a van
as it drove away.
Now she’s found herself, and I lost mine
and I’m just another guy who can’t give her anything.
Dreams are given to you when you’re young enough to dream them
before they can do you any harm.
They don’t start to hurt, until you try to hold on to them after seeing how they really are.
She used to dream them with me, every single crazy one,
until they started hurting her too, now she’s got some of her own
and outgrowing me, might be the best thing for her she’s ever done.
A light that shines as bright as hers can’t be kept in the shadows for too long.
A heart that wants to live and a soul that wants to give
can’t just sit at home alone.
Lord, she’s give me everything and never wanted anything I couldn’t give.
Just what was inside of me.
And now she’s found herself, and I lost mine
and I’m just another guy who can’t give her anything.
quite possibly the greatest 2-band ticket ever…
why isn’t there concerts like this anymore?!

“Moonshiner” by Uncle Tupelo
Tried to just upload the song but my track is not a Mp3. But this song is amazing, you should listen to it.
Ryan Adams
“Lucky Now”
Love this! Can’t wait for his new album!
This song.
And proud! I mean seriously, I just saw a dude on my Facebook post Avril Lavigne’s new song and all I could think was, “THIS IS NOT MUSIC!”
I enjoy the greats! Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Led Zep, Temptations, Eagles, Johnny Cash, Bob Seger, Creedence, Willis Alan Ramsey, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Janis Joplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more
And the newer greats! Black Crowes, DriveBy Truckers, Gov’t Mule, John Butler Trio, Ryan Bingham, Ryan Adams, Railroad Earth, String Cheese, Ray LaMontagne, Steeldrivers, Amos Lee, Flaming Lips….I could go on and on.
Good lord there are sooooo many. But cunt Avril does NOT fall into that category of “music.” And I have no problem with what people like, it is your personal opinion. But I am a music snob. There, that is my personal opinion. Pop shit and this so called “country” sucks. Let’s get back to our roots people. Damn.
