Ain’t Gotta Dollar – Oliver Anthony

|

I concede listening to Oliver Anthony may be a bad influence, but his music is so good. I mean he lives the good life.

Well I ain't gotta dollar
But I don't need a dime
I've got a little spot in the country
Where I spend all my time
And when the Sun goes down
On this itty bitty town
We can light up a bowl and pass it around
Cause I ain't got a dollar
But I don't need a dime

Now the rain could be falling
Or the sun shining down
As long as my old truck still fires on up
And there's crops growing in the ground
We'll have to pick some muscadines right off the vines
Get a little yeast and make a little wine
Cause I ain't got a dollar
But I don't need a dime

Phil Ochs – Crucifixion (Live)

|

As I noted last night, this is a powerful song that brought Senator Bobby Kennedy to tears when he heard Phil Ochs preform it in the mid-1960s. Even more then a half century later, it's an incredibly powerful song about the death of John F. Kennedy and other great leaders.

Justin Moore – How I Got To Be This Way

I just wish I could have a drawl like that, rather then my somewhat weak rural Upstate Applachian accent. That said, probably with my Youtube watching habits and music tastes, I'm starting to pick up language hints.
