Like most people with ears, I’m a big fan of Hank Williams. As I was listening to him the
other day, one of his more obscure songs came on that I hadn’t heard in a while and it got me thinking about where we live.

The song is called “Everything’s Okay” and while it’s meant to be one of Hank’s more comical tunes, it’s makes a great point by not-so-subtly saying, “Life’s great, no matter what.” He’d gone to visit his Uncle Bill out in the country and it’s old Uncle Bill talking about his life. Here’s just a few verses that’ll give you a better idea of what I’m babbling on about:
My wife’s been sick, the youngins, too
And I’m dern near down with the flu
The cow’s gone dry
And them hens won’t lay
But we’re still alivin’
So everything’s okay
The porch rotted down, that’s more expense
The darned old mule he tore down the fence
The mortgage is due
And I can’t pay
But we’re still alivin’
So everything’s okay
