I think this song holds alot of meaning, in different ways, for different people. It reminds me of my mom. Me and my mom had a rough relationship when i was growing up. My dad left us real early. So, my mom was left raising 7 kids on her own. We have turned out pretty good, though. Now, me and my mom are closer than ever.
These ugly truths they sure haven't been very kind to me, I sure can understand Jackie!!! Someday I'll have that little piece of limestone and maybe a few people saying forever and ever amen Kelly Jarrell!!! If God blesses me with a few friends before my day comes hopefully soon!!!
I recently spent some time in the USA and was sitting in a Diner in Newport, New Jersey when I heard a song come over the music system. I didn't know the artist, but it was a catchy tune. I wrote down on a piece of paper 'a song with jackie brown in the title'.
Anyway, I got back to the UK and found the piece of paper then searched online and found it was John Cougar Mellencamp. Lovely song.
Why an asshole, because he may not agree with your view? In America we have something called freedom of speech. The same freedom that entitles you to post your aforementioned sentiment and opinion. Quidproquo?
