You Go Girlfriend

“Give me one good reason”
sings Traci C.  with soul.
This girl stirs, big time
cheap seat blues from the street.

Been there, done that, girlfriend
be feeling what you be feeling.
You sing to my very core
music bubbling with the life.

You done this and some of that
not afraid, pointing a finger, calling out.
Even if it reveals inside, deep inside
girlfriend, you sing my soul.

Give me one good reason
I’ll put your music on.
Give me one good reason
and I’ll just sing right along.

Daniel-
Love this.  I am a big fan of tracy chapman.
Her music is very powerful and carries
some very important messages...and she's
definitely not afraid to speak/sing
what's on her mind.    Thanks for
sharing this.

Dan, Being a huge fan of her music, I really love this post. Give me one good reason and I'll turn her back around. Definitely a favorite as well as her new Wedding Song.
