Music

Every night right before I walk out the door on my way to work, I'll select a cd from the rack to listen to as I'm driving. Most of the time, I just listen to the songs but they don't really get stuck in my head. However last night, this one song on this particular cd just kept playing inside my head. Not that I mind, I have always liked this guy's music. He's a good writer and performer. So I thought I'd post the lyrics here. The first time I heard this song, I was like, wow I can't believe Willie Nelson wrote this.But this one just sticks with me for some reason.

I could tell the moment that I saw Him
He was nothing but the troublemakin' kind
His hair was much too long
And His motley group of friends
Had nothing but rebellion on their minds

He's rejected the establishment completely
And I know for sure He's never held a job
He just goes from town to town
Stirrin' up the young folks
Till they're nothin but a disrespectful mob

I know for sure He's never joined the Army
And served His country like we all have done
He'd rather wear his sandals and His flowers
While others wage the war that must be won

They arrested Him last week and found Him guilty
Sentenced Him to die, but that's no great loss
Friday they will take Him to a place called Calvary
And hang that Troublemaker to a cross
