GENERATIONS AWAY...

The album Golden by Lady Antelbellum has 12 songs of life, love, and lonelisness.  I love this entire cd...but hands down, no questions about it "Generations Away" is the best.  The song has a catchy tune, very upbeat and the lyrics, they talk about how the wish they'd like to be various historical landmarks. (If I were a prison, I'd wanna be Folsom).  There's a slightly funk guitar sound here and there, close to the country/island of Kenny Chesney or even Jimmy Buffet.


Some feel its a silly song...in fact it ends with a "He's got the whole world in His hands" sing along, which can be borderline impossible to take seriously , yet i feel its harmless fun, and its a crowd pleaser.  So for me....it's a 2 thumb up and I hope it is for you too!  enjoy the lyrics...

"If I were a summer, I wanna be '69
I'd be chilling, listening to Dylan
holding up a peace sign"


"If I were a prison, I wanna be Folsom
Johnny Cash be rocking that black
singin to the strips and kickin out the lights"

Hey, what can i say?
I hope they'd talk about us that way
there ain't no place id rather be
then right here making history

Hey  what can we do
here we are, its me and you
So, lets take all the pictures 
we can take, for the generation away.

If I were an old car, I wanna be a mustang
American made with a white rag top 
on a blue sky day

And if I were a preacher, I wanna be Dr. King
Oh I know he's up there smiling down
cause we all still have a dream.

Hey, what can I say? 
let's make some memories while we can
laugh and love, don't mess your chance

Cause He's still got the whole wide world in His hands
So, baby lets dance

I hope they talk about us that way,
raise your voice and have no fear
let 'em know you were here singing

hey what we are, it's me and you
so lets take all the pictures we can take
and let's make all the memories we can make

He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
so come on everyone lets dance

so sing out loud and wave your hands....
'cause He has the whole world in His hands

I love this song and so enjoy the quirkiness about it!

and its all because of His Amazing Grace.....
