Sunshine and Whiskey

I am finally feeling back to 100%, so yesterday I decided to celebrate my good health and the mild weather by going for a run. Instead of going on any of my regular routes, I went in a different direction and ended up with a 4 mile loop that included some snow-covered park trails. It felt awesome.

I also decided to listen to something other than the usual stations I listen to on Slacker. Instead I decided to listen to the top 50 songs of 2014, some of which were country. As I've said before on this blog, country is pretty low on my list of musical genres, but I gotta admit, sometimes I find the lyrics really evocative.

This song, which I'd never heard before, is a great example:

You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Hearing this song brought back memories of the last time a kiss felt like sunshine and whiskey: All the heat without the sunburn or the hangover. Mmmmmmm I miss that feeling!

But I didn't stop at looking backward. I let myself remember how sweet it was but then turned my attention on the present and the future, which includes my excitement about the next time I get to experience it:

You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey...
