song writing, poetryDADDY ALWAYS MADE US SMILE
AUTHOR (Jane Carr) ©2006
Verse 1
Born thirty miles from Nashville, But my family didn’t rest
In one place too long. Kept movin’ on. Our next stop was Kansas.
Then on to California, where we stayed for quite a while.
And God knows the times were hard, but daddy always made us smile.
When we traveled down the road, I don’t know how my folks stayed sane,
Five kids playin’ and yellin’, but most of all we sang.chorus
“If the devil doesn’t like it he can sit on a tack.â€
And Sis yelled, “Kenny took my book, and he won’t give it back.â€
And I begged, “Momma, I’m so hungry. When are we gonna’ eat?â€
Mom pleaded, “Daddy, Please pull over! Spot threw up on the back seat!Verse2
Dad kept that station wagon rollin’, all the way thru seven states.
We ended up in Misery, when we left the Golden Gate.
Seven people, a gold fish, a dog, and parakeet,
Headed to our destination, but Missouri was no treat.
That was the last trip that I took with them, ‘fore I became a wife.
And daddy worked real hard to see we had a happy life. …and…Chorus
“If the devil doesn’t like it he can sit on a tack.â€
Sis yelled, “Kenny took my book, and he won’t give it back.â€
And I said, “Momma, I’m so hungry. When are we gonna’ eat?â€
Mom pleaded, “Daddy, Please pull over. Spot threw up on the back seat!Verse3
In Missouri Dad cut wood all summer long to keep us worm.
He knew that in the winter time, there would be bad storms.
I remember how hard Daddy worked, fixin’ up that run down shack.
Missed our life in California, but there was no turnin’ back.
You’d think, after all the work dad did, he’d want to run and hide.
But he always found the time to take us for a Sunday ride.chorus
And , “If the devil doesn’t like it he can sit on a tack.â€
And Sis yelled, “Kenny took my book, and he won’t give it back.â€
And I said, “Momma, I’m so hungry. When are we gonna’ eat?â€
Mom said, “Daddy, please pull over. Spot threw up on the back seat!

country, bluegrass, some pop and some 70's rock
Not much for watchin movies. Can't still that long.
I guess my favorite shows would be 'House'; Hell's Kitchen, that Gordon Ramsey's something else; old re-runs of I Love Lucy, and I have to confess, I watch The Young And The Restless sometimes.
Not much for reading . That calls for sittin still. HaHa! If I feel like reading though, It would have to be a real good mystery or a scary crime story.
