Music walks through life with us and expresses who we are in a way no other medium can. Listen to this song of the week and tell us what it says to your soul? ~Suzy
Sunshine go away today
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone, he’s tried to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking
He tells me I’d better get in line
Can’t hear what he’s saying
When I grow up I’m going to make it mine
But these aren’t dues I been paying
(Chorus)
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
But he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine, Sunshine
Sunshine go away today
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone he’s tried to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking
Working starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are going
He says in love and war all is fair
But he’s got cards he ain’t showing
(Chorus)
Sunshine come on back another day
I promise you I’ll be singing
This old world, she’s gonna turn around
Brand new bells’ll be ringing
Thanks Suzy, I had this song stuck in my head ALL DAY …..lol
I love it….. I find it ironic however that it was casts as a 70′s tune against war, but to me it is against big government all the way….WE CAN RUN OUR OWN LIVES!!
Oh, a song from my hometown. He went to college in Athens, Ohio, hence another song Way Down in Athens County
Athens County
Lyricist: Jonathan Edwards
Vocalist: John Mullins
Way down in Athens County
That’s where I am
Goin’ on the road tomorrow
Up to Amsterdam
Way down in Athens County
We’ll stop and have some wine
Athens County
Marie and me
We’re doin’ fine
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Never long gone
I just got into this town
I’m feelin’ mighty good
I found my good friend sound
I had a hunch I would
Way down in Athens County
That’s where I am
I’m goin’ on the road tomorrow
Up to Amsterdam
Way down in Athens County
We’ll stop and have some wine
Athens County
Marie and me
We’re doin’ fine
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Never long gone
That’s my good friend John
He’s whistlin’ a bluegrass tune
We pick it in the sunshine
Sing it in the afternoon
Way down in Athens County
That’s where I am
I’m goin’ on the road tomorrow
Up to Amsterdam
Way down in Athens County
We’ll stop and have some wine
Athens County
Marie and me
We’re doin’ fine
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Well, hello, Maria
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
So long
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
Hello Maria
Sweet Maria
Never long gone
For long
