This song made me think of what's going on on OPP now. Only neither side will give as the song says. Sad.

I think you have suggested a real story that may may not excite the others who have opened this one, before me. This one is about an old cowboy who remembers his parents and reveres them. I think that most leaners would never really like seeing one of them having his mind changed by a man who loved his parents and is willing to stand up for the things they stood for.
Hey, every time I hear one of you Panhandle people talk about a "blue norther" I remember a couple of Okies talking about the storm we were driving toward to play golf. We got together to go to this tournament about 6:00 am and set out. About 50 miles down the road the wind shifted to the north and the black clouds came upon us and the Okies started talking about blue northers. Anyway, we went the next 50 miles to the tournament site and found how cold it had turned. In late September around here when the day starts out warm it always gets hot before it is over. Not that day, though, and there we were in short sleeved shirts and shorts. The little town we were playing in didn't have a clothing store but we were able to buy sweatshirts and spent the day huddled up in the lee side of the golf carts. Yep, that term always reminds me of that day.

This song brings to mind another old Texas sayin'..."You'd rather french-kiss a rattlesnake" than to mess with this old cowboy's hat."
Yippee ki-yay, Arch
I think you have excellent taste and the songs speaks volumes ......
