What song has been written about your life?

[SSG Schwartz]

As Moe Bandy said many years go, "Hank Williams, You Wrote my life." Who wrote yours and in what song. For me it was Don Williams and the song was Good Old Boys like me (video) or lyrics . I was a kid growing up in the South.

What song would describe you?

[Leaffan]

I can't say that any one particular song describes my life, but John Mellencamp's "Cherry Bomb" comes close in some rgards.

Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I'm surprised that we're still livin'
If we've done any wrong
I hope that we're forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still don't know what to do
I hope that they're not laughin' too loud
When they hear me talkin'
Like this to you

'Cause that's when a smoke was a smoke. (And a bit more in my day...)
PS - I didn't actually have a couple of kids till I was 37, but hey.....)

For a lot of my life, it was Jackson Browne's :The Pretender:"

I'm going to be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Thought true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the Pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender
