My 2009 "Maria" Song

Okay, as most of you regular readers know, Maria and I are political conservatives, however, we do not fall into the category of "I am never going to watch a movie or listen to the music of a liberal again". If I'm honest, we would probably be left with very little entertainment at all if we did that. In a larger sense, it illustrates the greatness of our country, but that's a topic for another time.

So, with that said, we have also been big fans of Bruce Springsteen's music for years, as you probably also know-- if you even visit the blog for 10 seconds you can figure that out--Bruce has a song on his new album which sums up very well what I feel about my wife...so, the lyrics are below...sorry its too new to get the tune on the blog yet, but I'm sure its coming...

My Lucky Day

In the room where fortune falls
On a day when chance is all
In the dark of this exile
I felt the grace of your smile
Honey you're my lucky day
Baby you're my lucky day
When I've lost all the other bets I've made
Honey you're my lucky day

I've seen strong hearts give way
To the burdens of the day
To the weary hands of time
Where fortune is not kind
Honey you're my lucky day
Baby you're my lucky day
When I've lost all the other bets I've made
Honey you're my lucky day

I have waited at your side
I've counted the tears you've cried
But to win darling we must pay
So don't hide your heart away
Honey you're my lucky day
Baby you're my lucky day
When I've lost all the other bets I've made
Honey you're my lucky day
