My buddies ask me,
If I would write them a song
That says how we're different,
But how good we all get along

Well, Bob, he's a baptist
And his wife, she's cherokee
And Larry, he's a Lutheran,
And his grand daddy is Cree

Well, Paul, he's Penticostal
And his pastor prays for the Sea
And Rusty's dad is a rabbi
But we go huntin' go fish

Well, Carl, he's a Catholic boy,
And his daddy fought in the war
And Joe's mom is in Lebanon
And he knows he believes in the Law

He believes in one big God
And one big heaven
'cause that's where we all want
To be goin'

Well, daddy played his guitar
In churches all over the south
Momma played piano
And sometimes she'd sing and shout
Sister's sang altogether
And brought the harmony out

And think about, one big God
And one big heaven
'cause that's where we all want
To be goin'

Well, me, I'm a believer
And I do believe
In all God's children
As far as I can see

Just one big God
And one big heaven
'cause that's where we all want
To be goin'

And one big God
And one big heaven,

Just save a little space ... for me.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
