The title of this post is actually a line in a song that has come to have great significance in my life - that song being Neal McCoy's "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On."
Now I know what you're thinking - Amy, you've lost it. Completely. Over the edge. But hear me out.
This past Friday Neal McCoy played a concert in Aberdeen along with Dustin Evans and the Good Times Band. I ended up going with a couple of my girlfriends and after a lengthy but good performance by the opening act it was time for Neal McCoy. Now we knew we wouldn't probably know all the songs but we did recognize a few - Wink & The Shake of course. And then when Neal started singing "Billy" I started laughing out loud, forgetting that it was Neal McCoy that sang this song. My friend next to me leaned over and asked why on earth i was laughing (legitimate question). I then proceeded to explain to her that every time I hear that song I think about my first job on the summer paint crew at my high school. Every year we would create a "paint mix" with a bunch of songs on it that we would literally listen to the ENTIRE summer. One of the three summers I worked there the first song on the CD was "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On." I can still remember one of my friends and coworkers singing it at the top of her lungs in her best Neal McCoy twang.
Isn't it funny how songs stick with us? They can so easily take us back to a point in our lives that we may not have thought of in years. I have to admit I kind of had a moment at that concert Friday where I felt reconnected to a part of my life that I really hadn't thought about in a while and remembered all the fun times we had those summers. What a great bunch I was privileged to work with!
In other news, we're in another blizzard warning today and into early tomorrow morning!! I'd say we have well over 6 inches now and its still falling for the time being! The groundhog didn't see his shadow right?? :)
