Biloxi country

(Edward McBride)

This song is about a young man rejected by his father and never given any love. His only escape was his guitar which he had to hide as his father would have sold it. This Mississippi boy aims for the stars and his goal of getting to Nashville, learning his craft in the honky-tonks, dive bars, and anywhere else that affords him the opportunity to play and sing.

Well I grew up in Biloxi
Where the country meets the sea
My daddy had no love for me
And I'd cry myself to sleep

I had to hide my guitar
My papa would have sold it for a bottle of beer
I'd sneak out and strum those strings
And the music set me free

Chorus
Well, I'm a rambling man, don't you see
Singing is my life, it's where I'm meant to be
I play from Texas to Tennessee and everywhere in between
The road is long, and the nights are cold
But the music keeps me warm, and it never grows old

I want to be in Nashville
I know I've got to aim that far
Through the honky-tonks and the dive bars
 I'll chase my dreams, reach for the stars

And when I finally make it there
I'll thank the Lord for answering my prayers
And I'll sing my songs with all my heart
Hoping they'll touch someone right from the start

Chorus
Well, I'm a rambling man, don't you see
Singing is my life, it's where I'm meant to be
I play from Texas to Tennessee, and everywhere in between
For the road is long, and the nights are cold
But the music keeps me warm, and it never grows old

Someone like you

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is a Rock ballad about a love that never came, a love that was a missed opportunity. I'm sure we've all had times in our lives where we wanted to ask someone to go out with us but couldn't find the courage or whatever to do it. This lyric reminded me of a time when I was young, in high school, and I went out with this girl who I knew like me and I liked her but I couldn't even give her a kiss because I was too afraid. The underlying premise to this lyric is fear. A lot of us live in fear of so many things, and that prevents us from moving forward. It's okay to have fear, just don't let it stop you. In this lyric that's what the fear did
