So it's not really a big secret, but I can be a very introverted person. Shocking I know. But really, one would think someone like me would not go into a field such as teaching, but trust me - it's way different for me talking to a room of five and six year olds verses talking to a room full of people my age. I'd chose the five and six year olds any day of the week. That's the person I am. So one of my big "rechargers" is driving. Not just driving, but driving with really good music. And my music changes. Sometimes it's showtunes and I want to sing my guts out. Sometimes it's depressing music and I want to cry my eyes out. Sometimes it's just whatever I'm liking at the time. But I love it. Every now and then I just have to get in my car, turn the music up, and drive. Today was one of those days. I was physically and mentally exhausted from the last week of school. I needed to go to the grocery store to get some things for dinner and on my way back a song on my playlist came up that was just perfect for this time in my life. American Honey. If you haven't heard it you should. Lady Antebellum is an awesome group. This song is just so perfect - with summertime starting and me trying to unwind from many of the things that makes my life hectic. Here are the lyrics with my favorite part brought out for the blogworld to see.
She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey
Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey
There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea
There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey
Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
And American honey
