RASCAL FLATTS LYRICS - Every Day

RASCAL FLATTS LYRICS - Every Day: "'Every Day'

You could've bowed out gracefully
But you didn't
You knew enough to know
To leave well enough alone
But you wouldn't
I drive myself crazy
Tryin' to stay out of my own way
The messes that I make
But my secrets are so safe
The only one who gets me
Yeah, you get me
It's amazing to me

[CHORUS]
How every day
Every day, every day
You save my life

I come around all broken down and
Crowded out
And you're comfort
Sometimes the place I go
Is so deep and dark and desperate
I don't know, I don't know

[Repeat Chorus]

Sometimes I swear, I don't know if
I'm comin' or goin'
But you always say something
Without even knowin'
That I'm hangin' on to your words
With all of my might and it's alright
Yeah, I'm alright for one more night-
Every day
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day
You save me, you save me, oh, oh, oh
Every day
Every, every, every day-

Every day you save my life"

Chickens

Did you know that most chickens only produce one egg a day? That the eggs are warm to the touch? How about the fact that chickens eat almost anything-including egg shells? This makes me think that there is more to the chicken than meets the eye. Don't regret all those stupid chicken jokes though.

Just a song

I've had several people call to wish me a Happy Birthday-and it truly amazes me that people take time out of their busy lives to give me this gesture of kindness. I appreciate each and every gesture. My soon to be Ex-mother-in-law was one of those people. Now she is not a spring chicken and not known for her musical talents, but she sang the entire birthday song to my answering machine-I missed the actual call being at work.Just hearing her sing makes me and most of her daughters laugh. Hearing the song on the machine made me laugh too, but not knowing what the future holds only made me cry. She has been an important part of my life for over 22 years and now I can't even sit and have a cup of coffee with her. I don't know when I can see her again or if she even knows how much I love her. I could sit and cry some more about it, but God always takes care of me. I think she told me that. It was either her or my own wonderful mother. How nice to have had them both for so long. Thanks for the memories and for making me smile so much, and yes I had a very wonderful birthday.

Apologies

My apologies to anyone that has read some negative comments posted. You may not even know me or my husband, but some of you will be cheering on the divorce just on principle. Again I apologize for behavor that I can't control.

Things I've learned from Divorce

1. I can unstop the toilet by myself (I've managed to avoid doing this for over 22 years).

2.Either my ex was extremely messy or my children have started cleaning up after themselves(while I believe it's the first-I'm hoping it's the second)

3. I can learn mechanical things about the house pretty quickly-which breaker goes to what lights and such.

4. I don't need as much money as I thought I did to get by-and that can be a good thing.

5. Nothing feels as good as being happy.
