I am not responsible for any blood cholesterol increase caused by the high schmaltz content of this song.

The pickup truck is so that you know it's a country song.

Well, I am speechless...almost. I liked this. A very serious song.

Your voice is sounding more like Neil Young.

Nice song. I think you echoed the experiences of many of us with your, “I’m already there...”

Almost forgot...

“Heaven (I’m Already There)”
By Hopalong Ginsberg

It was the day I graduated high school
By the creek on Yoder’s farm
Just the two us in my pickup truck
I held you in my arms
You said you’d be mine forever
I said a little prayer
“Oh, I know I’ll go to heaven
Because I’m already there.”

Left to be a soldier
Came home as a man
You met me at the airport
Our daughter in your hands
I hugged you both so tightly
Smiling through my tears, I said
“I know I’ll go to heaven
Because I’m already there.”

We watched our girl get married
Just as proud as we could be
Not to sure about that fellow, though
He’s a bit too much like me
As I gave away the blushing bride
I whispered in her ear
“Oh, I know I’ll go to heaven, Darling,
Because I’m already there.”

Sold the farm last Monday
I’m moving out today
The old place seems so empty since
The Good Lord took you away
When our grandson asks about you
And if you know he’s there, I tell him
“She sees you in heaven, boy,
Because we’re already there.”

The words are beautiful. Your sound reminds me of Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show. Thumbs up!
