(Did you get that? It was a Veggie Tales reference #lame Hahaha.)
Today is my Friday and, in celebration of that, I’m sharing some of my favorite jams that define my life, courtesy of Alyssa‘s Back to Blogging non-challenge challenge!
I’ve seen Kathy and Nadine do this already and I didn’t think I’d be able to come up with anything, but they’ve inspired me 🙂 I’ve settled on a solid five.
How I’ll Always Be [Tim McGraw]
“I’m a little more beer bottle beer joint than a fancy bar | I’m a little more sitting up high on the road than a little car | I’m a little more bust ya back than take it for free”
“I’ll always be a fan of ol’ stray dogs and guitars playin’ | One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin’ | Sunset skies, bonfire nights, I love the simple things | That’s how I’ll always be”
. . .
Grey Street [Dave Matthews Band]
“Oh look at how she listens | She says nothing of what she thinks | She just goes stumbling through her memories | Staring out on to Grey Street”
. . .
Feel That Fire [Dierks Bentley]
“She wants to wear my shirt to bed | She wants to make every stray a pet | And drive around in my truck with no place to go”
. . .
Caught Up In You [38 Special]
“So caught up in you | Little girl | That I never wanna get myself free | And baby it’s true | You’re the one | Who caught me, baby you taught me | How good it could be”
*Can we please just appreciate how 80s this video is?? Hehe
. . .
Crazy [Ben Rector]
“Last night was crazy, yeah we tore it up again | Kicked off our shoes and went to bed by 9pm | We were balling and Netflix | We turned it up to ten | Last night was crazy”
. . .
I have always been a huge music person, and there are a million songs that I just love, but I wanted to limit this post to ones that I really felt define my life. Our couples song didn’t make the list this time (I’ll Be by Edwin McCain), nor did the song I walked down the aisle to (Baby Blue by DMB). Both great songs, but not necessarily life-defining 🙂 (K is also upset I didn’t share You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate because I tend to sing it loudly when I drink a little too much.)
If you haven’t already done the link-up, what songs define your life?
Life as Louise 
Feel that fire is me too!! I love your choices here.

I’ve been slowly working on this post but it’s hard to choose just a few! I feel like at least one Tim McGraw song will make the cut though, although I could almost choose songs solely from his discography. I LOVE the Veggie Tales reference!

When I first read through the challenge prompts I was sure I wouldn’t be able to come up with one. Then I got started and had to cap it at five! Haha!
