Today is my Birthday
And all that I want
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my Kitchen
Till the daylights gone
This one here is my momma
With the long brown hair
I'm 40 yrs older today than she was in that picture there
But if life stayed it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
These are all my babies
Lord knows how we survived
The first one was hard and last was unplanned
What a big surprise
That him with his daddy's eyes
I loved the man in this one
It's faded but I don't care
There are nights when I wake up and know that he's beside me I swear
Sometimes I still feel him there
But if life stayed it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
If we knew what he had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would the very last country song
And all that I want
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my Kitchen
Till the daylights gone
This one here is my momma
With the long brown hair
I'm 40 yrs older today than she was in that picture there
But if life stayed it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
These are all my babies
Lord knows how we survived
The first one was hard and last was unplanned
What a big surprise
That him with his daddy's eyes
I loved the man in this one
It's faded but I don't care
There are nights when I wake up and know that he's beside me I swear
Sometimes I still feel him there
But if life stayed it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song
If we knew what he had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would the very last country song

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i love how you can hear her smile when she sings about the baby being a big surprise.
As so very well put on Sugarlands website.... Aptly named, the last song on the album is a look at what would happen if nothing ever went wrong again. “If life stayed the way it was, if those conditions weren’t in our lives, then this would literally be the last country song,” says Nettles. Everything is as it should be was the impetus and inspiration behind this song. Co-writer Tim Owens told the duo that someone had once asked him why country music was always so sad. Owens’ answer was that if bad things never happened, then what would we have to write about? The ethereal tones underneath this song stay quiet enough so the insight into the human condition can be felt. Like when you can hear Nettles smile as she sings the verse that looks back on the unexpected joy of an unexpected child.
I love this song, it is perfect, just like Sugarland!
such a great song. Jennifer Nettles completes me<3
This song is so beautiful, it almost makes me cry when I hear it. It's just about the idea that if everyone knew 'the way home', we wouldn't need country music!
i absolutely love this song..x Its amazing and so well written.x Its perfect.x
this is such a great song. sugarland, instead of complaining about the bad things that happen in life, embrace them because they are the inspiration behind an amazing genre of music. they are basically saying that pain inspires greatness, so give thanks for it. amazing.
