"This Heart of mine could never see, What everybody knew but, Just trusting you was my great sin, What can I do, You Win Again"

Have you ever been so in love with a person that no matter what events may transpire in your relationship or in the out side world that you'll never stop loving them. Love makes people do some weird things. Cry, scream and even stand outside a girls window with a boom box over your head blasting some Aha or something. Whatever case, love is one of our truest emotions. We need love, we crave it and some times hate it. Love can us feel like that tallest man on the highest mountain in the land, but it can also make us feel like the smallest living worm crawling around in the black mud just waiting to die. But if you a person that can hang on to the love, even if your significant other is cheating on you, then I guess all you can tell them is "You Win Again"
This lyrics was written by one of the most prolific song writers of all time. His legacy and songs have stood the test of time and have been covered so many times that Hank Jr. can't even count them. Hank Williams was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama to a poor life stricken white family. He lived his early life dirt poor and had a spinal disease called spina bifida oculta. This disease gave Hank great back pain throughout his whole life and led to the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Hank grew up with lived his life with a lot of heartbreak and it showed in his music.
"This heart of mine could never see, What everybody knew but me" During this portion of the song the man has explained that he is desperately in love with a running around woman. During there relationship the man is blind to what going on behind his back. His love, his life is cheating on him with another man. Not only is his woman keeping it a secret but the whole town knows the trouble going on. But the man still didn't know. "Just trusting you was my great sin" Here the man is saying he made an ultimate sin of trusting this woman whom he never should have. If he never gave in to her deceitful love. He wouldn't be as heartbroken and attached to her.
"What can I do? You Win Again" In this line the man is looking for an answer to this problem. He is so in love with this woman that he is lost in what he should do. Should he leave her? Should he cheat on her? Should he find a new love? No. This man is so in love with this woman, he doesn't want to lose her or the feeling of false love he receives with her. So what does he do? He gives up. He says "You Win again"
This lyric to me is so sad because I've seen it happen before. No matter what a woman can do to a love crazed man, he'll stay with her for the love and support. And she whoever she is knows it. So it will continue to be a cycle until the man say instead of "You Win Again" to Fuck Off!!!

"She's a Devil In Disguise, You Can See it in Her Eyes, She's Tellin Dirty Lies, She's A Devil In Diguise"

Have you ever met a woman that seems so down home perfect. Her smile shines constantly, her elegance's stops a entire crowd of people and her words sound like music to your ears. But behind that golden smile and somber eyes is a world of weightless words and misleading actions.
"She's a Devil in Disguise, You can see it in her eyes, She's telling dirty lies, She's a Devil In Disguise" Describes this woman.This lyric is from a late 60's progressive country rock band called The Flying Burrito Brothers on the album Gilded Palace of Sin. Written by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman about a Secretary of the band that portrayed this woman. Very pretty looking lady but a down right devil inside. There hatred and erie feelings for her lead for the pair to writing this song. Soon after sadly this mysterious woman died of cancer.
Being a man I can understand this lyric completely, no to say all woman are evil by any means but we have all felt this about a woman at one time or another. I've a had a few girlfriends in my day and I can tell you at first, the relationship seems all peachy. Your in love, she's so sweet, you buy her dinner and you make love all the time. But when that trust is broken and things start falling apart it all goes down hill. She sucks up to friends and family pleading her case that she's the oh so innocent one and I'm the one to blame. Making up outlandish stories such as me hitting her or accuses me of stealing from her when it's all just a batch of lies. Then you find out what is really is. She's a Devil in Disguise, she's made you life a living hell with nothing but lies and betrayal.
Another example is I had this friend in college, we'll call him Steve. When Steve met my girlfriends(Devil) at the time Christine's things seem to all fall in place and College life was great. Soon it took a down turn. This girl was so crazy about Steve that she faked a pregnancy for 6 months tearing my friend apart. She's kept changing the outcome saying "I still Might be pregnant" or "I had an abortion" and my favorite "When are we gonna get married". After finally admitting she wasn't pregnant, it was on to the next lie. She had an Syllables and gave it to my buddy.All the while mainting that she was innconet. Steve was mean, and beat her and called her names, which never was the truth. If she was pregnatn, he was willing to drop all his hopes and dreams, to go home and be a truck driver to support her and his child. Luckly that never happne.
The moral of my story is that, there are plenty of Devil's in diguese out there. You might think there the sweetest, prettiest greatest thing ever, but when it all folds out, they can take you and your life straight to hell.

"Whiskey River take my Mind, don't let her memory torture me"

We have all been heartbroken at one time or another. That crazy girl or that asshole guy have all hurt our most feelings at one time or another and we all have own way of dealing with it. For describing the man in this song "Whiskey River take my mind, Don't let her memory torture me"; Alcoholism.
This bitter lyric is by an American Singer Singer Writer best known for his outlaw persona and his advocacy of smoking marijuana Willie Nelson. The song "Whiskey River" is off his 1973 album release Shotgun Willie. Which was a major commercial success for Nelson. Willie Nelson was living in his prime outlaw stage and gaining popularity not only with the rowdy country crowd but fans in the rock and roll elements as well. Willie Nelson had many hardships in his life and I think he's trying to convey some of his own personal demons.
A woman that has left this man, and all his has in his bottle, whiskey bottle that is. And when he feels it Amber current flowing through his mind and the sour whiskey burning his chest like the pain of his heart. He's drowning in sorrow and the only way he see fit to fix it is drown his emotions in Whiskey. But he still can't get away from her pain.
Myself being a bourbon drinker, I sort of understand this mystic about whiskey and how it's special to heartbreak. You here people having a rough day and all they need is a shot of Whiskey. It calms and heels. As long as you keep it respectable. But this is certainly not what the song is conveying. This man is drunk as a skunk and his heart is whole heavy broken.

"It makes no difference night or day, the shadow never seems to fade away"

This lyric is amazingly sorrowful lyric for anyone whose experienced a break up or the loss of someone close. From a Canadian country, folk, rhythm and blues band simply called "The Band". The songs depicts a sad shame filled person whose lost the one they love and it makes no differences what happens in their life, the pain still feels the same. So when the man says "It makes no difference, night or day, the shadow never seems to fade away" He's says that no matter what happens, it can be night or day, rain or shine, cold or warm, the shadow, Which is a metaphor for the pain he feels never can go away. His pain and anguish will remain.
To me the line has deep feeling, coming from the heart of someone who has felt this pain before, much like we all have. I've experienced a few running their course break up's and I've too felt the feelings this person has felt when they've lost the one thing that makes there night and day. The person who is their shadow, the person that is there life, and no matter what happens, we all can't seem to make that feeling of stone cold heart break go away.

"Loaded Questions in a Automatic World"

This lyric is one of my favorites, by a highly success indie rock band from Louisville, Kentucky called My Morning Jacket. The song "Dancefloors" is the second song off there 3rd studio album called "It Still Moves". The line loaded questions in an automatic world makes me think of how technology is taking over our world. Everything from ordering pizza to robot like cars are becoming automated making human life easier. Mobile phones you can not only call your mother, but email, text, send pictures, surf the internet, play games,organize your days with calenders, convert measurements and level anything. Making human interaction not a necessary part of life anymore. To fight this growing social catastrophe, humans need to interact, humans still need to still ask why. I think no matter how computers and devices make thinking easier for us, we still have to keep our minds and teach ourselves more than these materialistic devices can teach us.
