Well, it'll just get you down
If you let life get to you
'Cause everybody's saying something
None of it's true

Well, I just don't care
When them times get hard
'Cause I got everything I need
Right out in my yard

(Chorus):
I love my truck, she's right outside
I ain't got much love but I sure got a ride
It don't matter who lived
It don't matter who lied
I got my truck right by my side

You got Sally and you got Sue
And I got a Chevrolet
She takes me home after work
Don't ever miss a day

She don't care what I am
She don't care what I ain't
But she ain't no cheap pick-up
She just needs a couple coats of paint

(Chorus)

Yeah

She don't care if I don't work a lick
She'll start every time if the choke don't stick
I know that she will never doubt me
'Cause she never leaves home without me

(Chorus)

I got my truck right by my side, yeah
I got my truck right by my side

Poor Mr.Campbell, he was just recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. But his music will always make me smile.


Country music speaks to the brass tacks, bare bones of the everyday man and woman's mundane reality. It's suppose to be funny, it's suppose to be touching, it's suppose to be patriotic, it's suppose to be vittles and grits.

It speaks in jargon the simple man/woman understands. The everyday grind, the deep sorrow, the questions, the satisfaction after working hard.
I like contemporary country music. I also like some of the old classics.
It makes me smile when I remember growing up and learning to dance with my now dead relatives, when I was a little boy and we all laughed smiled and tore up a rug having a good time. They forgot the grind of paying bills, meeting the mortgage, living on in a bad marriage, etc... And I lived a little boy's life of bliss, not knowing what any of that meant.
