Art Imitates Life

If you're a confirmed Country music hater, drop your prejudices for about 3 minutes, and open your mind to the possibility that there might be a song or two which has been labeled "country" by some record company executive, which might... just might... be worth listening to.

Case in point; That Was Yesterday, by Wynonna. It's a blues tune, and she sings it with the most satisfying growl. This song, for me, is art imitating life.

Wynonna, by the way, has as of late, become my hands down favorite female vocalist. Her voice is simply amazing. And that girl can sing ANYTHING.

That Was Yesterday

It's finally over
But I can't even cry
So, don't you give me no sweet talk
You done told your last lie
I was your puppet
Just a dancin', dancin' on a string
But when the sun went down last night,
Lord, it changed everything

Today I feel different
Cause now I can see
That you care more about yourself
Than mistreatin' me
It took me a long time
To figure you out
But misery and pain
Ain't what loves all about

(chorus)
I was your woman
But ya threw me away
I used to be your very own Custom made, love slave,
do anything for you, little fool
But that was yesterday
That was yesterday

And so it goes
Another lesson gets learned
And in the big book of experience
Another page gets turned
Now you say you need me
Well, honey, you got some nerve
I hope some sweet tomorrow
We both get what we deserve

(repeat chorus)
I'm packing up and movin' on
Your real good thing is good and gone

What are you waiting for..... GO GET IT AND LISTEN!!!
