Happy Birthday Randy Travis

Cool fact: Randy Travis and I share the same birthdate (not including year...obvs). I mention this because I love Mr. Travis' song Forever and Ever Amen (did I post this already? I'm having blog deja vu). Any song that has lyrics like:

"They say that time takes its toll on a body / Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey / But honey, I dont care, Im not in love with your hair"

... Is a song I will cherish forever and ever, Amen.
