RIP. Charlie Pride

One of greats is now gone at 86 years old. Sad because COVID was involved.

My father served with him in the Army. True story.

RIP Charley Pride!  At the time I graduated from High School in 1971, my favorite song was “I’m Just Me” and it remains my favorite Charley Pride song because I thought it was about me.  Here are the lyrics:

Down at the railroad station there's people gettin' on
Some are a goin' north some are a goin' south I'm just goin' to be gone
Some people are born to be takers others just want to give
Some people live just to love but I just love to live

For I was just born to be exactly what you see
Nothing more or less I'm not the worst or the best
I just try to be exactly what you see today and every day I'm just me

When people say their life is rough I wonder compared to what
Some are wantin' more and more's gettin' less I just want what I've got
Some want to live on a hill others down by the sea
Some want to live inside high walls I just want to live free
For I was just born...
Oh I was just born to be exactly what you see today and every day I'm just me.
