“The days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, those are good days.”

Ray Willie Hubbard

Came in here to post this exact line.

Evan Felker is a brilliant lyricist. Hopefully he can get back to writing songs again someday. "The Bird Hunters" is one of his finest:

Well the covey took wing
Two shotguns a-singin'
A pointing dog down in the old logging road
Danny got three and looked back a-grinnin'
I fumbled around and I tried to reload
The country was cold with the sun westward sinking
It's good to be back in this place
With my hands around a Belgian made Browning
My mind on the lines of her face

my absolute favorite. I always play this song as soon as my tires touch dirt when I am heading up to go mountain quail hunting.. _

 

[7Bartman]

Scratch my back with a lightning bolt
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band
We all fell down from the Milky Way
Hangin' 'round here till the Judgment Day
Heaven only knows who is in command
Barefoot children in the rain
Got no need to explain
We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain
It's always understood by those who play the game
Barefoot children in the rain

-Jimmy Buffett - Barefoot children in the rain-

Tyler Childers feathered indians or Charleston girl are both great lyrically.

Well my heart is sweating bullets
From the circles it has raced
Like a little feathered indian
Callin' out the clouds for rain
I'd go runnin' through the thicket
I'd go careless through the thorns
Just to hold her for a minute
Though it'd leave me wanting more

Charleston Girl
“I’m not sure if it’s the wine or the coke, that’s makes her sound like her jaw is broke”

Born Again-

All the while, I'd gorge my gut
Come the time then I would rut
Runnin' high and low to find my pre-historic queen
To keep me warm 'til Spring
When I'd go out with my friends
Graze the land and wonder when I'd see your face again
'Til the day I met my doom
I took one in the boiler room
To put food on the table of a dying breed of man

Not sure who all saw it, but evidently my wishes were answered and Turnpike Troubadours are back together. They’ll be at Red Rocks with Reckless Kelly in mid May.

Darius Rucker Wagon Wheel
Headin' down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey... mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey... mama rock me

Colter Wall. Kate McCannon

Well the raven is a wicked bird
His wings are black as sin
And he floats outside my prison window
Mocking those within

And he sings to me real low
It's hell to where you go
For you did murder Kate McCannon

When I first met TomMcCannon
I was working in the mines
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter
With long, green eyes

And when she and I did meet
She was bathing in the creek
Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler
That ain't no lie

So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon
Got me a job and I quit my ramblin' and
Every day I'd save
A quarter of my pay

I could buy a diamond ring
Lord and one day I come home to find
My darlin' angel's not inside

So I made for the creek
Where she and I did meet
And found her with some other lover

And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon

Give this a listen. So much hope and truth.

'Theres so much more to life than we've been told
It's full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
I go down to the river and let it run
Wash away all the things you've done'
