I wrote this 5 yrs ago as I was watching my best friend go through the trials and misery of stomach cancer - and her devoted husband carry her through everything.t has a positive, I hope hopeful message that sticking together through hard times is what matters - even if the situation does not improve.
Jenn passed away last Feb 2010.
Dedicated to any and all dealing with difficult health situations, caregivers, families, and their friends.
I'm using Audacity on the vox so effects etc are kinda limited; if I could pick up a vocal producer with ProTools or get the kids off the Mac long enough to dump the tracks into GarageBand that would help. Doing my best.

I know a couple down in Tennessee
Their life just isn't what it used to be
Travelin around and havin fun
Raisin up a few fine sons
Well sometimes life just delivers a blow
And your health is gone before you know
But she's got you
(standing by her side)
She's got you
(to hold on tight)
It sure is a mess and I could never guess
Why
Bad things happen but
Long as she's got you
Somethin turned out right
Yeah, she's got you
Now it's all doctors 'n tests 'n waitin
Hard to find anything that isn't breakin
Still travel a lot, but it's no fun
Got another appointment when this one's done
That's when life just loses its sheen
When an ambulance is your limousine
But she's got you
(help her through the night)
She's got you
(to hold on tight)
Sure is a mess and I could never guess
Why
Bad things happen but
Long as she's got you
Somethin turned out right
Yeah, she's got you
Can't tell if it'll ever be better
It's all you can do just to
Hold it together
But you love her
And she loves you
Some days
That's all you can do
