My Favorite Song

So apparently this song was written in 2003 but just released to the radio and I LOVE it! So much of it rings true. Here are the words and I will share my thoughts at the end:

You know I like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up…
Well I’ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman’s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother’s love

Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
And that’s home you know
Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house it’s not much to talk about
But it’s filled with love that’s grown in southern ground

And a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I’ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman’s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother’s love

And its funny how it’s the simple things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I’ve come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise you glasses for a toast

To a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just rightA
nd the radio up
Well I’ve seen the sunriseS
ee the love in my woman’s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother’s love

I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that gave their lives so we don’t have to sacrifice
All the things we love

Like our chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I’ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman’s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother’s love

I LOVE the chorus b/c it reminds me so much of me. I do love fried chicken, cold beer and a good fittin' pair of jeans. Most importantly I know what the touch a precious child feels like and I have experienced a mother's love and there is NOTHING better!

I also love this verse:
And its funny how it’s the simple things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I’ve come to know
It truly is the simple things that are the most important and when you lose touch with those things you are really missing out. And a piece of mind is certainly worth more than money can buy!!

And this verse:
I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that gave their lives so we don’t have to sacrifice
All the things we love
This is so true in a time of war, I am so eternally grateful to those who give up everything to allow me to have the freedoms that we often take for granted, so thank you!
