This song also won in the Best (Original Song) category.

The music and lyric by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett. The latter has won several Grammy awards before.

It’s a good song nonetheless. You just have to listen to it.

“The Weary Kind” by Ryan Bingham

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don’t feel like home anymore

And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your body aches…
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same

Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn’t forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside

And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your lovers won’t kiss…
It’s too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

T_________________________________T

Okay, a bit exaggerated but still, it’s a heartwarming movie based on a true story.

A college professor takes in an abandoned dog and they form an unbreakable bond. The dog arrives daily at the correct time at the station, to meet his owner. After the professor dies while away from home, the dog keeps vigil waiting for his master for nearly a decade.

The true story as picked from Wiki.

Really touching… T_T

Don’t know why updates are getting lesser and lesser these days..

Comments are almost zilch!

Am not sure if this blog can pull through for another year since hosting is expiring at end of the year..

Maybe I should stick back to Blogger.com and stop wasting time here..

Well.. only time will tell..
