Where you from?
Well, Sister Christian, it’s a long story. I was born a Coal
Miner’s Daughter. Daddy left home when I was three, but he told me All You Need
is Love, Eight Days a Week. He and Mama got a D-I-V-O-R-C-E and he and His
Cheatin’ Heart left in his Little Red Rodeo with Bobbie McGee. Mama said “You Can’t
Hurry Love girl.”
I met a man, Bojangles, while Walking after Midnight. He
told me I was “Hotter than a $2 pistol” and he’d make me the Queen of his
Double Wide trailer. We got married in a fever, and I was the Happiest Girl in
the Whole USA.
He went to visit Auntie Grizelda, but I caught him at Hotel
California drinking Strawberry Wine with Eleanor Rigby. I talked to Big Bad
John about some Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap—Next thing I know, my husband was
Shot Through the Heart.
That Night the Lights went out in Georgia, and the next day
I left Tulsa in a Chevy in a Hurry in the Pouring Down Rain. I was in Amarillo
by Morning, and paid the Witchita Lineman for a Ride on the Jamestown Ferry….and
I got off on the Dark Side of the Moon.

The story above was shared at Flash! Friday . Below, I have added some that did not make the cut, but certainly would have been worked into my story had I been allowed more words. :)
When I booked my flight they asked me “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” I told them how much “I Love a Rainy Night,” but they said I’d be wondering “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” before too long. Well, atleast I won’t be “Driving My Life Away” “Working Nine to Five.”
(I hope y’all enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.)
Let me know what you think in the comments. Do you have a favorite song/artist represented here?
