What Song Are You Singing? (2 of 9)
Series: Life Is Hard but God Is Good
Jeff Schreve
Psalm 40:1-5
Hey, how many in here would say, ''I like country and western music?'' Anybody like country and western music?
I grew up in California. I moved to Texas when I was in seventh grade. And so, there wasn't a lot of country and western music in California at the time that I was growing up but coming to Texas there was a lot of country and western music.

You get your wife back, your truck back, your job back, your dog back, because it's always talking about losing all that stuff. And you know the other thing about country and western music? Not only does it tend to be sad, but the song titles are quite colorful so often. How about this one: ''Billy Broke My Heart at Walgreens, and I Cried All the Way to Sears.'' That was before Sears went out of business. ''How Can I Miss You if You Won't Go Away?'' It's a good question. ''I Would Have Wrote You a Letter, but I Couldn't Spell Yuck.'' That wasn't a good relationship. ''If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead?'' They just struggle in that relationship for sure. ''Thank God and Greyhound, She's Gone.'' ''I'm So Miserable Without You, it's Almost Like Having You Here.'' That's kind of a funny one. ''My John Deere was Breaking Your Field Wh ...
