Music Review: No Fences: Garth Brooks

This is good old country music.  Some of it is beer drinking music, which I was never into.  Included in this set is "I Got Friends in Low Places" which was a very successful song.  The song I like the most is one about prayer, Unanswered Prayer."  This song really touches a cord.  It also teaches a valuable lesson, that the master of all sometimes knows best:



"Unanswered Prayers"


Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be


She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again



Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers



She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all



And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life



Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered



Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
