Well, Jennifer Nettles, from the country duo Sugarland, has done it again. She has written another Country song that has a very deep meaning, and thought I’d make sure you knew the words. The song is titled: Very Last Country Song. The verses paint a picture of how things have changed, or gone wrong, and then the chorus brings it all home.

But if life stayed the way it was

And lovers never fell out of love

If memories didn’t last so long

If nobody did nobody wrong

If we knew what we had before it was gone

If every road led back home

This would be

The very last country song

We all know that life doesn’t stay the same. Babies are born, people die, wars are fought, and nature wreaks havoc. Couples fall out of love, and they remember what it used to be like, but then make no effort to relight the flame of love. Deals are struck and success celebrated, deals are made and then failure follows, and both carry memories that last a life time.

It seems even the most serving and loving among us has the ability to do someone wrong, and that kind of thing always has a lasting effect on everyone involved. We have come to forget how blessed we are until we are suddenly reminded by a loss or a tragedy, and then the road we chose to gain recovery doesn’t end where we expected it too.

Yes, we need country songs, we need music, we need words, and we need close friends and closer families to help us through life. Success, failure, birth, death, love, hate, close relationships, and dark loneliness are all a part of life, and we do need help. We look to a lot of people, and things to help us through, and I pray that we look to God before all of those other things.

Till next time,
