Eric Church Surprises With New Song “Crazyland” That Came To Him In A Dream — LISTEN

Still laughing

I found a picture on Instagram that I can't find now.

I laughed out loud when I read it.

It went something like this:

"I just ended a 6-year relationship."

Other girl: "Omg. I'm so sorry!"

First girl: "It wasn't my relationship."

Ha. I'm still laughing about it.

!

I could see myself singing this at a concert!

Listen to "Bad Mother Trucker" now: https://strm.to/ECBadMotherTrucker

You made her like that

Mad Woman
Taylor Swift

What did you think I'd say to that?
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
They strike to kill, and you know I will
You know I will
What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

Now I breathe flames each time I talk
My cannons all firin' at your yacht
They say "move on," but you know I won't
And women like hunting witches too
Doing your dirtiest work for you
It's obvious that wanting me dead
Has really brought you two together

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

I'm taking my time, taking my time
'Cause you took everything from me
Watching you climb, watching you climb
Over people like me
The master of spin has a couple side flings
Good wives always know
She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but

No one likes a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
You made her like that

Live music

Back in January, I bought a little concert ticket. 

I was planning on going to Cheyenne Frontier Days to watch Eric Church and Ashley McBryde. There were no hotel rooms left in Cheyenne six months ago, so I figured I'd spend a long weekend in Denver, maybe see my family that lives there, and just adventure around after the concert.

That was, of course, before the whole world changed. 

Last night, my Dad and I parked our car within listening distance of a live band playing at a bar. We did the responsible thing, in my opinion, and socially distanced while listening to old country music and an 80s hair band/cover band.

It was weird. It was strange. It was also perfect.

"Sing this song like you haven't been to a concert since January," I heard one band member tell the audience. 

I love that live music lives on. Tonight, I will sit in my backyard and listen to the music while making smores around a fire. 

There are bad, awful things in the world. There are bad, awful people in the world. But there are good things, too. Good, kind things and good, kind people. 

Great Expectations

I'm very aware that what I'm about to type will make absolutely no sense to anyone.

It sucks when Great Expectations leads to Much Ado About Nothing because of a Heart of Darkness. 

Also, I love the book Gone Girl.  

I could explain that, but I won't.

Sometimes you just have to date yourself. 

This weekend I made smores twice, mowed my lawn (somebody has to wear the pants) and took one ill-advised trip out west that ended up sucking.

But I ended up driving on a blacktop with wheat and corn surrounding a pretty crystal clear blue sky. 

Today was a good day. 

Tomorrow might be one, too. 

But all endings are also beginnings.
