This weekly series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as
exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

Good-Hearted Woman
Waylon Jennings
A long time forgotten
Are dreams that just fell by the way
The good life he promised
Ain't what she's livin' today
But she never complains of the bad times
Or bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had
And all the good times to come
She's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timin' man
She loves him in spite of his ways
That she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter
They’ll pass through this world hand in hand
A good-hearted woman
Lovin' her good-timin' man
He likes the night life
And bright lights
And good-timin’ friends
And when the party's all over
She'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him
But she does the best that she can
‘Cause she’s a good-hearted woman
She loves her good-timin' man
She's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his wicked ways
That she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter
They’ll pass through this world hand in hand
A good-hearted woman
Lovin' her good-timin' man
She's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timin' man
She loves me in spite of my wicked ways
That she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter
They’ll pass through this world hand in hand
Lord
A good-hearted woman
Lovin' her good-timin' man
Joey
Concrete Blonde
Joey
Baby
Don't get
Crazy
Detours
Fences
I get
Defensive
I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by
And let you fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry ‘til I was dry
Still sometimes
I get a strange pain inside
Oh
Joey
If you're hurtin’
So am I
Joey
Honey
I've got
The money
All is
Forgiven
Listen
Listen
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don't wanna close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor
Oh
Joey
I'm not angry
Anymore
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you
But when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk
And passed out on the floor
Oh
Joey
I'm not angry
Anymore
Angry
Anymore
Angry
Anymore

Joey,,, just listened to it twice, haven't heard it before, but I looooove it. And the lyrics.... fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Shadow!!! Yeah, Joey is one of those really awesome gut-wrenching songs. It came out as a single in 1990. So, you are really far behind the times! (LOL?)
DeleteCheeky :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Shadow!!! Okay, maybe just a little.
DeleteJust listened to "Joey" for the first time and I really liked it. This post reminds me that I need to make more room in my life for music. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! Listening to Joey while trucking during a very dark night out in the middle of nowhere greatly magnifies how haunting the song is to me--be assured. Thankfully, my personal life had stabilized by the time it came out.
DeleteI never heard of Concrete Blonde or that song. Quite good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Joey is the only one of their songs I am familiar with. I think the band is broken up now.
DeleteWaylon Jennings...one of the greatest country voices that ever has been!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Yes, and he will be included a few more times in this series before it is over with.
Deletegotta love waylon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear TWG!!! Yes, mam!
