    Heart Like a Truck

    What do a country song and a truck have in common? In this deeply personal episode, we delve into the emotional journey of Lainey Wilson’s hit, "Heart Like a Truck," and how it resonates with our own life journeys. Uncover the raw emotions and self-belief that mirror our travels, navigating bumps and challenges with fierce determination. After four years of writing the book and ten months of producing this limited-edition podcast, we have come to an end. This week's song is a perfect ending to the last chapter of my book. Just as a truck powers through rough terrain, we, too, can overcome obstacles fueled by our inner strength and determination.  Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, country cowgirl Dr. D, and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters. Blu is the voice behind each song that guided the reading from my soon-to-be-published book I’m Just a Country Song: Three Chords and Only My Truth. Your support has made this collaboration possible. Until we meet again! “Many folks who love country and many who don't are curious why so many country songs choose to sing about a truck. So no surprise that a song about a pickup truck chose me and guided the last chapter of my book. For you see, pickup trucks allow you to go anywhere even when the terrain gets rough.” -  Darlene Chambers In This Episode: - What makes “Heart Like a Truck” almost like Lainey's life? - Have you owned and loved a truck as much as I love my truck, Ruby? - Let's sing along with Blu as she sings “Heart Like a Truck” - Lyrics and chapter reading Connect with Blu Waters: Website - https://www.chooseyourblu.com/ Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/iambluwaters/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iambluwaters/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@iambluwaters YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@iambluwaters Connect with Darlene Chambers: Website - https://fullcircles.biz/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darlene.chambers.37625/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ImJustaCountrySong

    The Gambler

    "The Gambler," a timeless classic by Kenny Rogers, spins a tale of wisdom imparted during a chance encounter on a train. With its memorable opening line, "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em," the song transcends its country roots to offer universal life lessons.  The lyrics tell the story of a conversation between a seasoned gambler and a young man and delve into themes of risk, strategy, and resilience. Each verse encapsulates the essence of decision-making, teaching us that life, much like poker, requires patience, intuition, and the courage to walk away when the time is right. It is also the story of a brother and a sister who were meant to be together before they were born, a song told by a gambler giving sage advice on how to navigate life's twists and turns, and hopefully, for all of us, breaking even at the end of our journeys by being dealt an ace that we can keep. Join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode.

    Old Hippie

    “Old Hippie” is a song by the Bellamy Brothers that pays tribute to the generation defined by a mandatory draft into the Vietnam War. The song resonated with many listeners who identified with the character's struggles and wistfulness.  The song represents a generation that experienced many changes and challenges. This chapter is about my time in the 1970s and my husband's latching on to that decade, even though he was ten years younger.  I invite you to listen to a retrospective look back at a time before the internet, cell phones, and a sped-up, high-wired life. Instead, back then, we had a passion for nature, living free, guided by music, and not being defined by what you do for a job and how you choose to be.  Join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode. The same songs guide the reading from my soon-to-be-published book I’m Just a Country Song: Three Chords and Only My Truth.  “My style of hippie clothing was a blend of cowgirl goes boho influenced by native Americans with a bit of gypsy flare thrown in. What we all chose to wear flowed with the openness and tolerance we preached. We were free-thinking, abstract, and vibrant.” -  Darlene ChambersIn This Episode: - What was the age of the song's character when he found some gray in his hair and thought he was past his prime? - What do you think about the generation in front of you? - Let's sing along with Blu as she sings “Old Hippie” - Lyrics and chapter reading - Teaser and quiz for episode 12 (“Your Kind of Love”) Connect with Blu Waters: Website - https://www.chooseyourblu.com/ Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/iambluwaters/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iambluwaters/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@iambluwaters YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@iambluwaters Connect with Darlene Chambers: Website - https://fullcircles.biz/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darlene.chambers.37625/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ImJustaCountrySong

    Miss Me More

    Have you ever been lost in a relationship to the point where you forgot who you were, living according to someone else's standards and opinions? How did you regain your sense of self? “Miss Me More” is a song by American singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini, recorded for her second studio album. The song is about the pitfalls of putting other people's interests above your own.  Losing aspects of yourself in a relationship can be hard to detect at first. But at some point, you will realize that your sense of self needs to be restored. As the song says, you have to remember that you have “wings.” Join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode. The same songs guide the reading from my soon-to-be-published book I’m Just a Country Song: Three Chords and Only My Truth. “You are only a failure at what you don't try.

    The Dance

    Have you ever had a relationship that had to end, but you cherish the times you spent in it? Have you ever pursued a passion that is no longer available to you?  “The Dance” is about the end of a passionate relationship and feeling blindsided that it could ever come to an end. It is also about remembering the good times in the face of the pain.  This song is about a relationship I passionately pursued, convincing the man he could not live without me, even though he was hesitant. We made a lot of mistakes together, but the friendship that grew remained far stronger than the marriage that fell apart.  “The Dance” is also about getting to the end of the road with something you were beyond passionate about, like an athletic pursuit or a career. For me, it was stepping away from a love of dance. Songwriter Tony Arata wrote the song while he was still little-known around Nashville. At an open mic night at Nashville’s Douglas Corner, he met another little-known songwriter, Garth Brooks. When Garth heard “The Dance,” he told Tony that if he ever got a record deal, he would cut it, and the rest is country music history.  Join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode.

    I’ve Got a Tiger by The Tail

    When you face a challenge, do you hang on for the ride or simply give up, no matter the danger of a worst-case outcome? This week's song was released in December 1964 by country music band Buck Owens and the Buckaroos. In 1999, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Buck once said he got the idea for the song because he heard a slogan for Esso (gas station): "Put a tiger in your tank.” In the song, he’s dating a woman who is dragging him through life and running him absolutely ragged. He knows it’s going to end poorly but is helpless to stop it. What would you do if you were in the same situation?  “I’ve Got a Tiger by The Tail” describes what it's like to associate with something so powerful and potentially dangerous, and yet somehow you have to solve the difficult problem as there's no way to let go of that tail. The phrase derives from the Chinese proverb, “He who rides the tiger is afraid to dismount.” Join me and Nashville recording artist Blu Waters, the voice behind the songs we feature in each episode. The same songs guide the reading from my soon-to-be-published book I’m Just a Country Song: Three Chords and Only My Truth. “To be ourselves exiles us from others. And yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.” -  Darlene ChambersIn This Episode: - What sparked Buck Owens to write the song “I’ve Got a Tiger by The Tail”? - Have you ever had a “tiger” relationship that you were afraid to let go of for fear that the outcome would be worse than hanging on for dear life? - Let's sing along with Blu as she sings “I’ve Got a Tiger by The Tail” - Lyrics and chapter reading - Teaser and quiz for episode 9 (“The Dance”) Connect with Blu Waters: Website - https://www.chooseyourblu.com/ Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/iambluwaters/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iambluwaters/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@iambluwaters YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@iambluwaters Connect with Darlene Chambers: Website - https://fullcircles.biz/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darlene.chambers.37625/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ImJustaCountrySong
