Today’s prompt for SLS is a song with the word, “Over” in the title, which is perfect for me. I didn’t even have to ask the husband b/c it came right away to mind.
The song I thought of is, “Get Over It” by the Eagles. Definitely a favorite group of mine…Thanks for the prompt Mr. Jim
“Get Over It”
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ “Don’t blame me”
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin and your daddy’s too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight
You don’t want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it
It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down
Bitch about the present and blame it on the past
I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it
A few factoid’s …”Get Over It” by the eagles: Released in 1994 as a single from the album Hell Freezes Over. The song was the first written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey after the band reunited. It reached number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Another personal addition. I knew Glen Frey. I met him in 1976. He was playing his guitar, which was so beautiful and I commented on what a good guitar player he was. After that he responded with his name and I said why that would mean anything to me. At that moment he started to play and sing, “Take It Easy” and then I knew. I said, “Oh now I know who you are 😉 ” I was a little bit impressed but there’s a back story that maybe someday I will share or not…
He was a really nice guy, with issues but still an amazing musician !!!! I’ll never forget that moment even though I was only a teenager when I met him. I did attend a concert of the Eagles shortly after that. Impressive and they did become one of my fav’s !!!
One final closing thought on this song…It’s been a way of life for me. I move on. I choose Happy … Mz. Scarlet sends blessing to y’all…Life is good !!!!
