What works for you?? "Workin' Man Blues" or "I'll Flay Away"!!!

[Lynn D. Walker]

“I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay But I'll go back workin', come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew I'll drink a little beer that evening, Sing a little bit of these working man blues” ~Merle Haggard

In the past, I have sung this song many times under neon signs in smokey old bars and honky-tonks.   I'm glad I don't do that any more.  It is a sad life when all we have to look forward to is getting back to work on Monday morning and partying on the week-end.   Never got any real satisfaction out of livin' like that.  I think I'll change the lyrics a little bit into something that really works:

I KEEP MY MIND ON JESUS, I THINK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY

I GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, AND I WORSHIP HIM AND PRAY!! AND I KEEP ON PRAISIN', COME MONDAY MORNING I'LL LET HIM LEAD THE WAY!!

I'LL PRAY A LITTLE BIT IN THE EVENING,

AND SING A LITTLE BIT OF “I'LL FLAY AWAY”!!!  ~Pastor Lynn
