In This Article:

For my fellow Church-goers out there... I'm sure you've heard that Eric Church is releasing his next album - Desperate Man - on October 5. Woohoo! You're probably as ecstatic as I am! Of course, I'm diving head-first into an obsession with his music until the new album comes out. Meanwhile, let's take a look at 20 of his best song lyrics because we all know they relate to our own lives. Is it just me, or am I married to Eric in an alternate universe???

1. If the world comes knocking tell 'em I'm not home. I'm finally holding my own.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVc3tCw0fN0

Song: Holding My Own

Album: Mr. Misunderstood

2. Head for the future. Run from the past. Hide from the mirror. And live in a glass. What dreams forget the whiskey remembers, kinda like molasses in late December.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OZhw-aQTP8

Song: Creepin'

Album: Chief

3. Homeboy you're gonna wish one day you were sittin' on the gate of a truck by the lake with your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx-dUsh6OT8

Song: Homeboy

Album: Chief

4. When you think about me, do you think about seventeen?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2gGXlW6wSY

Song: Springsteen

Album: Chief

5. First time I met Alabama Hannah, I was skinny as a rail. Red hair tied up in a blue bandana. She was hotter than the devil's Hell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOuF3k_-asA

Song: Mr. Misunderstood

Album: Mr. Misunderstood

6. With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines, that nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride. I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it. Married to a dream with a mistress named music.

Song: Mistress Named Music

Album: Mr. Misunderstood

7. I'm either gonna get over you or I'm gonna blow out my ears. Yeah, you're out there now doin' God knows how, and I'm stuck here havin' a record year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvvYMxV6TmI

Song: Record Year

Album: Mr. Misunderstood

8. I'm a broke record, a broke record. You've got my heart-heart skip-skip-skipping a beat from the needle through my head. Hit repeat. I'm a broke record, a broke record.

Song: Broke Record

Album: The Outsiders

9. It's a rock through a window. It's a ride in the street. It's a rebel revolution. It's fightin' for peace. Burn baby burn, It's a brick in the wall. It's the first one to stand and the last one to fall. It's a hip shaking devil on the stage at Tupelo. It's doing what ya want instead of doin' what you're told. It's a preacher by the wreck tellin' folks they oughta pray 'cause the shepherd boy gets them and lead the flock a stray.

Song: That's Damn Rock and Roll

Album: The Outsiders

10. To fill it up, or throw it down. I got a forty hour week worth of trouble to drown. No need to complicate it, I'm a simple man. All you got to do is put a drink in my hand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usGv0gB2zEU

Song: Drink In My Hand

Album: Chief

11. Turn the quiet up, turn the noise down. Let this ol' world just spin around. I wanna feel it swing, wanna feel it sway. And put some feel good in my soul. Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxWjtWONuGc

Song: Smoke A Little Smoke

Album: Carolina

12. I carry you in my heart. Your memory comes over me like the dark. Like a phone call from my baby sayin' honey I miss you like crazy. Like the sound of a siren song. Oh Carolina, you're callin' me home, callin' me home.

Song: Carolina

Album: Carolina

13. Yeah, I know where I come from. How 'bout you? I don't need baggy clothes or rings in my nose to be cool. Yeah, the scars on my knuckles match these scuffs on these cowboy boots. There's a whole lot more like me. How 'bout you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7-Bhw3wBRs

Song: How 'Bout You?

Album: Sinners Like Me

14. She took her heart and took off down that road. They say you can't take it with you when you go.

Song: Can't Take It With You

Album: Sinners Like Me

15. Like a picture she was laying there. The moonlight dancing off her hair. She woke up and took me by the hand. We made love in my Chevy van. And that's alright with me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BirGGI0UnS0

Song: Chevy Van

Album: Caldwell County EP

16. Now there's a lot of guys like me out there in a lot of little towns. We're tellin' all our buddies we won't ever settle down. We say that's just the way we are, and the way we'll always be. So God sends girls like you for guys like me. Thank God there's girls like you for guys like me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk602Y66UgI

Song: Guys Like Me

Album: Sinners Like Me

17. These boots more than once have saved my ass. Like the time they hid that grass from those cops in Tupelo. And these boots have danced with the devil and nearly lost that battle to a wild-eyed Irish Rose.

Song: These Boots

Album: Sinners Like Me

18. Damn, I used to love this view. Sit here and drink a few. Main street and the high school lit up on Friday night. Down there it's another touchdown. Man, this year's team is stout. I can hear them goin' crazy and up here so am I. Thinkin' about you sittin' there sayin' I hate this, I hate it. If you couldn't stand livin' here why'd you take it, take it? Give me back my hometown. 'Cause this is my hometown.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5DnNxDTjbQ

Song: Give Me Back My Hometown

Album: The Outsiders

19. Since you had to go I've been on a roller coaster ride. Up and down I go over you, about to lose my mind. It's out of control. Round and round, upside down and down upside. Since you had to go I've been on a roller coaster ride.

Song: Roller Coaster Ride

Album: The Outsiders

20. Give me sticks, give me stones, bend my body, break my bones. Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue. 'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay, but if it were up to me to change I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth If I could only kill a word.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta3r6l6HOjM

Song: Kill A Word

Album: Mr. Misunderstood


And for a bonus round: the song from the album we're all waiting for!

21. Fortuneteller told me "No more last chances. You got no future at all." Oh but I ain't listenin' to a black-hearted gypsy and a crucifix through a bedroom wall. Hey, what can I say? I'm a desperate man. I said hey, what can I say? I'm just a desperate man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq93t3J4R5c

Song: Desperate Man

Album: Desperate Man

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
