So many of Simpson's songs speak to me. You've mentioned some of them, but I'd like to mention "Voices", too.
Quote:
How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away
Seems they're always talking but they ain't got much to say
A picture's worth a 1000 words but a word ain't worth a dime
And we all know they'll go on talking til the end of time

I like how he reworks the two cliches into something meaningful. And the musical phrasing is classic country goodness.
I'd also like to mention "Turtles All the Way Down".
Quote:
Marijuana, LSD
Psilocybin, DMT
They all changed the way I see
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life

I can relate to this. So many drugs, so many good times. Right, ked? But at the end of the day, all they did was alter our perceptions. Love is what changed us, transformed us. And look at us now!
