By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Country music at it's core, is defined by this song. I don't think I realized how bad I wanted to go to Nashville before this Summer. And I'm not sure if even after the trip I fully realized what place in my heart that city occupies. But recently I tried to win this free, all inclusive trip to Nashville and sadly I did not win. But through these last few months I have realized the impact this one city has made in my life. I love country music and it's community to the core. But Nashville, Tennessee in general really hits home for me. I really identify with the crowd, culture, way of life, and people there. So basically I'm in love and need to go back. It's most likely hard to understand if you've never been immersed into the country culture before as to what I am saying. But there is so much love, community, belief, and kindness within this community. So I hope that at some point you can find yourself investigating this culture, because it's so beautiful. Below I have posted some links that show a bit of what I am describing.
