Genius Lyrics Friday Tunes

When I saw the title of this thread I was relieved when Isbell made the first choice. His lyrics are never simple and often take a few times to really listen to what he’s saying.
 
I think this is a subjective topic, it’s opinions on how songs connect with us , and songs can have a deeper meaning, or relevance, based upon where we’re at in the time of our life , maturity lvl , etc etc , but the Friday music thread is a Hunttalk classic
 
Great song from a Moscow (ID) boy:

Said your soul needed saving, so they sent you off to Bible school
You learned a little more than they had heard was in the Golden Rule
"Be good to everybody, be a strength to the weak
Be a joy to the joyful, be the laughter in the grief"
And give your love freely to whoever that you please
Don't let nobody tell you 'bout who you oughta be
And when you get damned in the popular opinion
It's just another damn of the damns you're not giving

Genius is definitely subjective. One man's genius is is another man's dumbass.

Going to see Isbell for first time tonight. Have to admit I haven't listened to much, but looking forward to the show.
