A Good Thing

I really like this song. I don't listen to much country music anymore, but this song...is just a good song.

For all my family and friends, if you don't know Jesus yet, that is my first wish, after that....

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you wanna go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.But more than anything, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, And always give more than you take.But more than anything, yeah, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, this, is my wish (my wish, for you).This is my wish (my wish, for you)I hope you know somebody loves you (my wish, for you).May all your dreams stay big (my wish, for you).

  4. there are two more country songs i adore for the lyrics. one is what i will listen to in honoring my grampa whenever he leaves this earth. i'll share that with you later. the other though, is just as special:

    Smalltown Southern Man, by Alan Jackson:

    Born the middle son of a farmer
    And a small town southern man
    Like his daddy’s daddy before him
    Brought up workin’ on the land
    Fell in love with a small town woman
    And they married up and settled down
    Natural way of life if you’re lucky
    For a small town Southern man

    First there came four pretty daughters
    For this small town Southern man
    Then a few years later came another
    A boy, he wasn’t planned
    Seven people living all together
    In a house built with his own hands
    Little words with love and understanding
    From a small town Southern man

    Chorus
    And he bowed his head to Jesus
    And he stood for Uncle Sam
    And he only loved one woman
    He was always proud of what he had
    He said his greatest contribution
    Is the ones you leave behind
    Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
    Of a small town Southern man
    Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
    Of a small town Southern man

    Callous hands told the story
    For this small town Southern man
    He gave it all to keep it all together
    And keep his family on his land
    Like his daddy, years wore out his body
    Made it hard just to walk and stand
    You can break the back
    But you can’t break the spirit
    Of a small town Southern man

    Chorus
    And he bowed his head to Jesus
    And he stood for Uncle Sam
    And he only loved one woman
    He was always proud of what he had
    He said his greatest contribution
    Is the ones you leave behind
    Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
    Of a small town Southern man
    Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
    Of a small town Southern man

    Finally death came callin’
    For this small town Southern man
    He said it’s alright ’cause I see angels
    And they got me by the hand
    Don’t you cry, and don’t you worry
    I’m blessed, and I know I am
    ‘Cause God has a place in Heaven
    For a small town Southern man

    Chorus
    And he bowed his head to Jesus
    And he stood for Uncle Sam
    And he only loved one woman
    He was always proud of what he had
    He said his greatest contribution
    Is the ones you leave behind
    Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
    Of a small town Southern man
    Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
    Of a small town Southern man
