Yeah, Right, Whatever

Made you look, right? Well, Tim McGraw's newest single, "Drugs or Jesus", is making people listen, too. Some people are a bit upset, but I think that's just because he put those two words that close together. And they're upset for no reason, because this is a wonderful song of longing and need... and the choices that people make along the way.

In my home town
For anyone who sticks around
You're either lost or you're found
There's not much in between
In my home town
Everything's still black and white
It's a long, long way from wrong to right
From Sunday morning to Saturday night

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus

My whole life
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
From the stained glass windows in my mind
Refusing to let God's light shine
Down on me
Down on me

Everybody wants acceptance
We all just want some proof
Everyone's just looking for the truth

No, I'm not going to preach. No sermon needed. No explanation of the metaphor of drugs as anything that numbs or distracts us. We all run at times, and we're all searching... for love... for a place to feel at home... for peace... for Truth. It all depends on where we look... the Road has to lead somewhere.
