What song says something about you?

I occasionally come across songs that have a message or something in the music that I identify with strongly. Even though I recently turned the big 6-0, emotionally and musically I'm about 15, and the song that says a lot about me is ZZ Tops "Can't Stop Rockin'" on their Afterburner CD. I don't know if this is their own song or not?

When in a more reflective mood, Melissa Etheridge's "Precious Pain" is another I'd choose, and it is her song. How about other A'Gon forum readers? Thanks and Cheers. Craig

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch's ring
Hey!
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, yeah, voodoo chile
Hey!

No im not any hallucinogens right now but Jimi
must have been when he wrote that.
Garfish... great idea for a thread.

Although I rather dislike Ted Nugent, his song about Fred Bear has excellent lyrics. I wish a nice acoustic version could be made.

Sonny Boy sung both by Al Jolson and John McCormack. It was the closing track in the film "Jacob's Ladder" My Dad used to sing it to me when I was a wee lad. Damn Craig, you made me remember, Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses so far, I've enjoyed them and hope they keep coming. Some of you guys are farther "out there" than me;>) Cheers. Craig
