This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart..

It is now 2023 and these words still hold true. All I ask people is to be real. Don’t take life as a joke and don’t take my kindness for weakness!!!❤

BTW do you know the book (creative fiction or a memoir?) called Wild Tales from the East --- Okinawa Nights (1968-1972) by Christopher Brice? You might find it interesting to you. It includes a lot of lyrics of pop songs you could hear on BC Street or elsewhere near the bases in those days.😀

Yeah, now that my girlfriend is gone and I look at her 8x 10, this part really rang true: "we make one another cry Break a heart then we say goodbye Cross our hearts and we hope to die That the other was to blame But neither one will ever give in So we gaze at an 8 x 10 Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been And it's a dirty rotten shame" No wonder it won song of the year, in a very competitive time. As for being underrated in the music biz, he knew he was never promised a rose garden.

THis was just before we landed on the moon, Hot Cars and Tires screeching was music to my ears, every friday night. No seat belt or insurance or Restriction laws, we were free at the time, not just the Rich People but everyone. I wish I could go back to 1969 and live there forever. Me and my supercharged SS Camaro.

This song actually makes me cry! I was only 9 & knew most of the lyrics to this song, I didn't know what it meant back then, when I finally understood what this song is abt it made me realize that ppl are cruel & narcissistic, I already knew that but it really sank in when I was 24 & getting divorced, I didn't know anything at that tender age & had 2 children, this song helped me to get through a very difficult time in my life. I know a couple who have been together 29 going through the same thing he's singing abt in this song. I adore Mr Joe South's music, lyrics & the down-to-earth type of person he was. This is my fav song by him & my 2nd fav song is Walk A Mile In My Shoes. He wrote alot of music that he didn't get credit for! When Loretta Lynn first sang I Never Promised You A Rose Garden ppl raved, they went crazy, Joe South wrote that song. Hush, a song that Deep Purple sang & even put it on one of their albums was written by Joe South, there is alot he didn't get credit for & many, many ppl today don't even know who the original artist or lyrics were written when Johnny Cash sang his song, Elvis, there are alot of others he wrote music for. Some do say that Joe South wrote a song for their band but for others who sang his songs w/o acknowledging him.

R.I.P. Joe south we really miss you. 😎😎😎🎵😎👍👍😇🎵🎵🎶🎶🇨🇦

My dad's band played this song back in the 70's when I was a little kid. Such memories! I just had a friend send it to me--and he is only 32 in 2024--so it's not just boomers who are listening; the young ones are finding it too. Great art never expires.
