I heard this song for the first time a few weeks ago and it's become one of my favorite songs. Take a minute to go listen to it. The lyrics hit me hard. I think ya'll will enjoy and relate to it.

YouTube - Lee Ann Womack - Last Call [Official Video]

I recognized your number
It's burned into my brain
Felt my heart beating faster
Every time it rang
Some things never change
That's why I didn't answer

I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a country song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home

They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in a bar
'Cause I'm always your last call

I don't need to check that message
I know what it says
"Baby, I still love you"
Don't mean nothing when there's whiskey on your breath
That's the only love I get
So if you're calling

I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a cheatin' song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home

They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last

Call me crazy but
I think maybe
We've had our last call

I bet you're in a bar
It's always the same old song
That Johnny Walker Red
By now it's almost gone

But baby, I won't be there
To catch you when you fall
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last call

wow, what a sad song I'm glad it ends with a hopeful tone.

Here's the song that talked to me when I was first learning all this al-anon "stuff".

YouTube - Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

YouTube - Keane - We Might As Well Be Strangers LIVE! DVD

YouTube - ADDICTED - KELLY CLARKSON

Bon Jovi......(where's the face with the blush cheeks and googly eyes????) hehe

Oh, I LOVE that one by Keane. What a pretty song.

That's a good one by Kelly Clarkson. I don't know why I've never cared much for her voice. I like the lyrics to that song though.

Music is so powerful (trust me--I've got years of speeding tickets to prove what certain music can do to alter you). LOL

Here's another one that puts things into perspective. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!

YouTube - Simon Collins - "Powerless"

YouTube - Natalie Grant Perfect People (HQ)
Natalie Grant - Perfect People
From the album Relentless

Never let him see you when your breaking
Never let him see you when you fall
Thats How We Live
And Thats How We Try

Tell The world you've got it all together
You never let him see whats underneath
We cover it up
with the crooked smile
but it only lasts for a little while

(chorus)
there's no such thing as perfect people
there's no such thing as a perfect life
so come as you are, broken and scarred
lift up your heart and be amazed, and be changed
by a perfect god
yeaaa

Suddenly its like a weight is lifted
when you hear the words that you are loved
he knows where you are
and were you've been
and you never have to go there again

(chorus)

Who lived, and died, to give you life
to heal our inperfections
so look up, and see love, and let grace be enough

There's no such thing as perfect people
YEAAA
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scarred
lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed
by a perfect god
by a perfect god
by a perfect god
yyeaaa
by a perfect god
be changed by a perfect god
be changed

YouTube - Stand in the Rain (Music video)

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain
