"Boys In Blue" by View From the Hill. Song about how many of the singer's friends failed to return from war. I'm crying as I'm posting this.

And "Toby", by the Chi-Lites. There are plenty of country songs, but "Please Don't Take The Girl" by Tim McGraw is one that he shouldn't smile when singing in concert. Unless he wants to lose his female fans.

By the way, I hate you for this thread.

I hate me too[sniff sniff] now that you mentioned it..[sniff sniff]!!!

"Ain't No Sunshine" is another one. "Better off dead?!" Really? Oh, and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". Dang if I don't need a shot just thinking about these songs, man.

One jug of the good stuff comin up...sniff sniff.

I'm good. The 'good stuff' ate through the lining of my stomach the last time I tried it.

Hmmm... Maybe I can put those words into some music.
