He says "it wouldn't be so bad if it were over...but she never altogether leaves." The memories won't leave him alone.
"I've Had A Good Time" also has more of an up-tempo sound. As he reflects his life he decides he has had a good life. The things that matter the most are the things he took a chance to do. He doesn't dwell on things he didn't have a chance to do. He has had a good time, experienced a balance of good and bad, and is overall happy with life in general. "Too Late For Roses" is about not taking things for granted. I really like the one line in this song that says "Once you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses." This is so true. In this song, a man comes home late from work to find a table with candles set for two. The flames are dying and so is her love. He comes to the realization soon enough to save their love, but it was a hard lesson. "In Love With You" is a change from all the hurting songs. It is just a beautiful song about two people in love with each other. No matter what happens, they are there for each other. In "It Should Have Been Me," he is talking to a lost love. He laments the fact that all the joy she is sharing with her new love should have been with him. It is a very good, albeit sad song. This album stayed true to the old country custom of including gospel tracks. There are two gospel tracks included on this album. Both are original songs and both are very good. Of the two, I really enjoy "I've Got Jesus On My Side." It is a wonderful showcase for the great harmony of the Statler Brothers. This album is a must have for fans of the Statler Brothers. It showcases the beautiful harmony the Statler Brothers share. Each member of the group gets a chance to showcase their talents individually and then combine again into that sound I could listen to all day. This is a great album to sit down and relax to.
