Song

You know how sometimes you hear a song for the very first time and it stops you in your tracks??  That happened to me yesterday.  Sitting in a parking lot this came on, and I couldn't get out of my car.  I had to sit and listen until it was over.  And then I had to sit and think about it for a bit.  

I love it for a thousand different reasons I won't try to explain at the moment, perhaps someday...  I know some would cry heresy or sacrilege or whatever.  All I'll say is I love it. 

Heart Like Mine (Miranda Lambert)

I ain’t the kind you take home to mama
I ain’t the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I’m on my second drink

Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
Christian folks say I should quit it
I just smile and say “God bless”

‘Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He’d understand a heart like mine

Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
Said he’d love me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I’d learn to sing

‘Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He’d understand a heart like mine

I’ll fly away
From it all one day
I’ll fly away

These are the days that I will remember
When my name’s called on the roll
He’ll meet me with two long-stemmed glasses
Make a toast to me coming home

‘Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He’d understand a heart like mine

Oh, yes He would

What do you think?  Sacrilege?  Love at first chorus?  Or somewhere in between?
