It is an old song, as far as radio music goes.

Yet, as I pulled up to work this morning, the song Chicken Fried came on the radio and I couldn’t help but think about the words:

Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love
And its funny how it`s the simple things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I`ve come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise you glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried

In a lot of ways, Zac Brown hit the nail on the head. If you boil everything in our lives down to the core, it is really all about physical and emotional security.

Do we have food to eat, water to drink, roof over our heads and someone to love?

Sigh…there I go getting all philosophical. Shoot, right now I would settle for a good pair of jeans and a cold beer.

…..And maybe a theological/history book….. 😉
