I get to chat with a lot of different types of people on a regular basis. A commonality that’s come up in these conversations is many of us have been taught that acquiring that next thing (money, job, car, house, vacation, etc) will finally fulfill & satisfy us. Every time I get the next thing, I’m fulfilled for a little while, until I realize that there’s something else to acquire. Then my satisfaction vanishes, and the cycle repeats.
lyrics
Didn’t mean to keep you so late when we got talking in the kitchen
Quarter to one, comparing notes on how we make a living
You said money is fine, but I can’t buy time to think it over
Cause it don’t add up, always putting off the best until you’re older
Ooooh, I’ve got everything I wanted
Ooooh, cause I got what I need
Rolling up my sleeves, cause I look around and everything is broken
And I’m not here just to sit around and watch a slow erosion
you said “Money is time” but that dollar sign ain’t getting any younger
And I don’t need much, cause a little of our love can start a fire
Ooooh, I’ve got everything I wanted
Ooooh, cause I got what I need

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
