Big Hat, No Cattle by Randy Newman

"Big Hat, No Cattle" This song reminded me of someone I once thought I knew..... 'nuff said!


Since I was a child
I've tried to be what I'm not
I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life
I lied to my dear mother
to my sisters and my brother
and now I'm lying to my children and my wife
Big Hat, no cattle
Big head, no brain
Big snake, no rattle
I forever remain
big hat, no cattle
I knew from the start
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart

Can't remember why I do it,
Oh, maybe I can.
An honest man these days is hard to find.
I only know we're living in an unforgiving land.
And a little lie can buy some real big piece of mind.

Oftimes I wondered what might I have become,
Had I but buckled down and really tried.
But when it came down to the wire
I called my family to my side
Stood up straight, threw my head back and I lied, lied,lied

Big hat, no cattle
Big shoes, well you know...
Big horse, no saddle
He goes wherever I go

Big hat, no cattle
Right from the start
Big guns, no battle
Big belly, no heart

When it came down to the wire
I called my little family to my side
Stood up straight, threw my head back and I lied, lied,lied
lied, lied, lied

Big hat, no cattle
Big head, no brain
Big snake, no rattle
I forever remain
Big hat, no cattle
I knew from the start
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart

IS HE "MR. RIGHT"....... OR "MR. WRONG"?

* What am I getting out of this relationship?

* How is this bringing joy to my life?

* How am I growing and becoming a better person
as a result of this relationship?

* Do I feel safe? Respected? Loved?

* Do we share attraction and chemistry?

* Are my needs being met (emotional, physical,
mental, spiritual)?

* Is he faithful?

* Do I feel happy and fulfilled more than I feel
unhappy or frustrated?

* Does this relationship allow me to be true to
myself... my values, beliefs, spirit, etc?

* Do we have similar life goals and dreams?

* If my best friend were in this relationship, what
would I tell HER to do?

* If this relationship were to end, would I truly be sad
about losing him, or sad that he's not the person I
wanted him to be?


The reality is, no matter how hard you try, YOU CAN'T HAVE
A DRAMA-FREE RELATIONSHIP IF YOU'RE WITH THE WRONG MAN.

Take a leap of faith and let a guy go if he doesn't meet your
needs. As scary as it can be out there in the world of dating,
I promise you that someone will come into your life who is
worthy and can love you the way you deserve to be loved (but
he can't find you if you're with Mr. Wrong!).

Little Man

You know you're dating a loser when his favorite saying is: "Gotta roll!!" I wonder if that made him feel big and important to say that,--just like it made him feel big and important to demean women.

What to Say To a Jerk

8 Signs of a Jerk
  1. Interrupts.
  2. Doesn’t take turns.
  3. Takes advantage of people who are down
  4. Gloats in victory.
  5. Is sullen in defeat.
  6. Is not fair.
  7. Lack integrity.
  8. Is the kind of person you’ll avoid if you possibly can.
One of the reasons that most jerks get to you is that first they appall you, then they frustrate you, then they anger you and then they outrage you. And if you’re not comfortable with feeling outraged (as is true for most people), that is when they push you off balance and get the better of you.

Pray for You - Jaron and The Long Road to Love :: Official Video



I havent been to church since I don’t remember when
Things were goin’ great ‘til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can’t go hatin’ others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you’re flyin’ high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know where ever you are honey, I pray for you

I’m really glad I found my way to church
‘Cause I’m already feelin’ better and I thank God for the words
Yeah I’m goin’ to take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin’ up and I’ll keep prayin’ for you

I pray your tire blows out at 100 and 10
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos
I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you’re flyin’ high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far, in your house or in your car,
wherever you are honey, I pray for you.
