Lyrical Lessons

Been so long since I’ve seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race
I’ve been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
A man needs something he can hold on to
A nine-pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do
Jolene
I ain’t about to go straight
It’s too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair, blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don’t know what love means
Still don’t know what love means.
“Jolene” – Ray LaMontagne
Sometimes, you need people to be your nine-pound hammers. And sometimes, you realize you’ve become theirs.
One of my all-time favorite songs.
