Tom T. Hall"I Hope It Rains At My Funeral":
"The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
I've met some people that knew me and called me friend
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live over
I'd find different ways to make those mistakes again
So let me say this, I never tried to hurt anybody
Though I guess there's a few that I still couldn't look in the eye
If I've got one wish, I hope it rains at my funeral
For once, I'd like to be the only one dry"
The first time I heard this song was at a pretty low point in my life...just generally bad shit happening. This song helped me commiserate. The original Tom T Hall version is a twangy country ditty; Whiskeytown covered it in a way that should have most people teary eyed by the end of the tune.

Thanks, chumI've never heard of this before, but I quite like the message. I'm at a bit of a low point in my life just now and it speaks to me.
But the real reason I'm leaving a comment is because I rather love getting to the end of a touching post that makes me pause... only to read that it was left by one "HairyTwatter."
