Bob Your Head #22

I like the lyrics to this song.

If I told you things I did before
Told you how I used to be
Would you go along with someone like me?

If you knew my story word for word
Had all of my history
Would you go along with someone like me?

I did before and had my share
It didn't lead nowhere
I would go along with someone like you

It't doesn't matter what you did
Who you were hanging with
We could stick around and see this night through

And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style to

And we don't care about their own faults
Talkin' 'bout our own style
All we care 'bout is talking
Talking only me and you

Usually when things has gone this far
People tend to disappear
No one will surprise me unless you do

I can tell there's something goin' on
Hours seem to disappear
Everyone is leaving
I'm still with you

It doesn't matter what we do
Where we are going to
We can stick around and see this night through

And we don't care about the young folks
Talkin' 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talkin' 'bout the old style too

And we don't care about their own faults
Talkin' 'bout our own style
All we care 'bout is talking
Talking only me and you

And we don't care about the young folks
Talkin' 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talkin' 'bout the old style too

And we don't care about their own faults
Talkin' 'bout our own style
All we care 'bout is talking
Talking only me and you

Talking only me and you

They make me think.

If you all knew all the bad things I'd done in my life would you still want to know me?

If you knew all the faults I have would you still want to hang out with me?

Being a military brat and moving around a lot as a kid I had the opportunity to make friends over and over and over again all over the country.

The one thing that you become weary of as you get older though is how quickly you share yourself with others.

Seriously, kids are fearless.

They will tell their 'friends' everything!

It's precious and perfect.

Then one day your friend tells someone else your everything and you lose something.

Trust.

You start to worry what others think of you.

We all fall short.

Heck if you meet a perfect person take a picture...you probably just saw Jesus!

The point is that I think this song invokes in us a list of questions that we contemplate as we enter into friendships.

If I told you things I did before
Told you how I used to be
Would you go along with someone like me?

If you knew my story word for word
Had all of my history
Would you go along with someone like me?

And we don't care about their own faults
Talkin' 'bout our own style
All we care 'bout is talking
Talking only me and you 

I know that I can answer yes to this for all of you.

I don't care who you were or what you did.

It's all in the past.

It's what makes you who you are and I feel blessed knowing each and everyone of you.

Enjoy the song!

I hope you had a Blessed Wednesday!
