Theme Song

Because everyone needs a theme song.  You know a song that plays during the opening credits of your life.  Since our life is like a bad reality show, we change our theme song from time to time.  I can't really remember at this moment what some of the others have been.  Right now, and for the past year, ours has been Going' Through Hell, by Rodney Atkins.  Not one to usually pick a country song, but this one seems to be so appropriate.  It is true to where we are, but not hopeless.  Beside, if you played our life backwards, I'd get my house back, Bob would get his job back, etc, so I feel like I am living in a country song.  So, here are the lyrics:

Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Says I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do

You step off the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you
That's when you learn the truth

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah

But the good news
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one's that you've been draggin' for so long
You're on your knees
You might as well be praying
Guess what I'm saying

If your going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
