A Soothing Feel Good Country Song
Helluva Life, by Frankie Ballard is heading straight to the top in my opinion! This song has a way of bringing everything right back to the simple things in life. There’s something about the calming music combined with the country life lyrics that leaves you with a happy feeling; it sure does for me!
Something ’bout the Night Girl, When you got the right girl, Sittin’ right Beside you, Lookin’ at the Sky, Girl (Lyrics)
The lyrics remind us how to find happiness in the smallest things; spending a summer night with someone we love; a simple night gathering with friends, or an evening out with our child. The casual flowing nature of daily routines depicted in the video reminds us that we don’t have to have grand plans to have a ‘helluva life’.
Well we all have Faith, and we all have Hope, But We’re all a Little Lost in the Same Damn Boat
(Lyrics)
At some point in a song, the song will have a specific lyric that pulls me in to take notice; the above lyric is when that happened. Even though I had heard the song a few times prior to this, I hadn’t actually processed the words; Upon hearing this part in the song, I knew I had to pay closer attention to find out what the story of the song was about – I loved it that much more! It happens to be one of those songs that you can listen to over and over!

A shiny black motorcycle and a shiny black axe can still get this old lady’s blood going. The song isn’t bad either!
