Reminisce About The Good Ol'
by Michael DefriesI heard Josh Turner play on Letterman tonight
I didn't really listen, well actually, I tried, but
the pale blue of his strum strum strum made
the Beverly Hillbillies seem civilized.
His sounds layed on thick like some austere
but his essence brought me back to school;
Twas a time when Chris Isaac sang his melody
about a “wicked game” so cool with remorse.
It so brought me back; it's what I heard.
'Twasn't the music I was listening to but
this feeling I once had. 02/11/2010 Posted on 02/11/2010
