lyrics

I don’t know how you been feeling
But i ain’t been feeling great
So we talk about the good times
And forget about the pain
Remember, Wednesday nights
At Carter park
Playing peewee under real big lights
Eating cow tails
and drinking slushies
Until 9 o’clock at night

But did it happen that way
Wasn’t there heart break and pain
I couldn’t bat or catch I tried to stay in bed
did it happen that way

Wasn’t I suspended a lot
Grounded a lot
Picked on a lot
Couldn’t wait to get out on my own some day
Did it happen that way

When we talk about the future
We can’t help but talk about the past
When things were mostly better
we were still on the right path

The 60’s were fun
The 50’s got things done
and the 40’s were brave and real
Back when good still won
the bad guys would run
and america made the automobiles

But did it happen that way
Wasn’t there poverty and hate
Women were stuck in the home
Rural folks trapped all alone
As the dust bowl raged

Wasn’t there Ku Klux Klan
poor work conditions
Children working the fields
Black lung in coal mines taking young lives away
Did it happen that way

Wasn't there Viet Nam
The nuclear bomb
Segregation
And the massacres of the indian ways

Didn't it happen that way

Valley Of Heart's Delight
by Margo Cilker

supported by 8 fans who also own “Did It Happen That Way”

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar

Denim & Diamonds

I am not really an expert in today's country music. I know and appreciate Sheryl Crow or the Dixie Chicks, but that's it more or less. NIKKI LANE's rocking style with a decent rough edge fits quite well to this "strong women" references. Several songs are catchy and always welcome on my soft music playlists, check for example "First High", "Born Tough" or "Black Widow". H.L.
