Music Monday

Misty here, with our first installment of the new blog plan, Music Monday. 
One of my favorite songs right now is a simple, down-to-earth song by Joey + Rory, a husband/wife country music duet.  I'm a lyrics person, I let the song take me away, and see if I can relate to the story.  In this particular song, I can relate completely. 
I grew up in a very simple way, on a farm in Southwest Missouri.  Some of my best memories are riding my horse, training our coon dogs, breaking the ice on the pond in winter, picking fresh produce from our large garden in summer, re-roofing the old farm house, canning, and fishing.  This song takes me back to my childhood and makes me think about all the things that my grandpa taught me.  I hope you enjoy the lyrics.  This song describes just a few things that are important to me, what other things are important to you?
That's Important To Me
That's Important To Me 
Not planning our day around a TV set
Paying our bills and staying out of debt
That’s important to me
That’s important to me
Openin’ the windows and lettin’ in air
Holding hands when we’re saying a prayer
That’s important to me
Yea, that’s important to me
Having somebody to share my life
Loving my husband, and being a wife
And the very best mother I can be
That’s important to me

Telling the truth, and being real

Feeding my family a home cooked meal
That’s important to me
That’s important to me
Planting a garden and watching it grow
Keeping it country on the radio
That’s important to me
Yea, that’s important to me
Always having you to hold,
Being beside you when we grow old
And they plant us ‘neath that big old tree
That’s important to me
Always having you to hold

Being beside you when we grow old

And they plant us ‘neath that big old tree

Believing our dreams will take us somewhere

Still bein' ourselves if we ever get there
That’s important to me
That’s important to me
Yea, that’s important to me
That’s important to me

That’s important to me

That’s important to me
