A new chapter in the story of your life starts each day. Fill it with excitement as you tackle challenges and overcome obstacles. Let each chapter be filled with lessons and insight as you learn and grow. Give your all, not settling for good enough but seeking the best.
Run races, play games, sing songs, dance freely and unashamedly. Visit new places, meet new friends, take pictures, and send postcards. Pet kittens, ride bikes, smell flowers, and eat amazing food. Read books, write poems, speak passionately, talk to God, and listen to wise people.
Let the dialogue of your story encourage everyone who hears it, always building up, never tearing down. Give grace to the ungraceful, peace to the restless, and hope to the hurting. Offer a helping hand, share expertise, and celebrate when they win.
Live fully and without hesitation. Seize the moment, make the call, take the shot. Do the deal, pray the prayer, pop the question.
Let your life be so rich in experience and full of adventure that when it’s bedtime kids ask to hear your story. No one else can live your story; make it a good one.
The idea for this song came to me while out running this fall and seeing pine straw on the ground. I couldn't get the driving beat out of my head and this was the result. A lot of songs that I write cover deeper subject matter but this one was just for fun and to celebrate southern culture.
Pinestraw
By: Andrew Allen
Work hard all week 8 to 5 that’s just what we do
Get a little rowdy on a Friday night Sunday sitting in a pew
Football Saturday watching our team play ‘gainst it don’t matter who
Grillout tailgate drinking sweet tea eating some barbecue
In the pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
With the pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
Spring time green time pollen all around moving in to June
Down by the creek on summer nights swimming by the light of the moon
Sitting round a camp fire starlight outside whippoorwill singing his tune
We’re all here to have a good time ain’t nobody leaving soon
Pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
Got a little money spend it on my honey we going out tonight
To a hoedown throw down out in the woods tonight
Swing your partner round and round hold her close and hold her tight
Out on the dance floor that’s what we’re here for keep on dancing till we see the sunlight
In the pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
With the pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
No matter where you go, remember where you’re from and come on back now ya hear
No matter where you go remember where you’re from and come on back now ya hear
No matter where you go just remember where you’re from and come on back now ya hear
No matter where you go remember where you’re from and come on back now ya hear
To the pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all head on back into the woods
Pinestraw come on y’all get a little crazy out in the woods
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him
To the one who seeks Him
To the one who seeks Him
To the one who seeks Him
He is good
