    He is from here and she is from there
    raprite says (15 Feb '13)

    “He is from here and
    She is from there”

    Think you’re better than her
    Cause of who your daddy is
    But we saw what you did
    Just ask any kid
    Thought you were all alone in that park
    Wrong side of the tracks
    Getting warm after dark
    He wasn’t scared, he didn’t care
    That he was from here and
    She was from there

    In his arms at night
    His love he swears
    But when the daylight comes
    Won’t take her anywhere
    Gets too heavy for her
    This cross she has to bear
    Love starts to fade
    Her head starts to clear
    Knows the way things are
    Will never be fair
    He is from here and
    She is from there

    A man realizes just what he had
    Faded memories, and he needs them back
    The feel of her touch
    The smell of her hair
    His head starts to clear
    He no longer cares
    Well he’s waited too long
    She’s no longer there
    She knows she’s been wronged
    She no longer cares
    That he is from here and
    She is from there

I really like this. :) And what everyone else has added...sooo true. You can have all the money in the world, but without love & family, you really don't have anything, and are poor, but you can live in the smallest house in the world, or no house at all, and if you have love, and your family, you feel really rich, very blessed. I want to have love, and my family... and a little money is good too, but even with that, I would still choose a smaller house where the love doesn't get lost, over some big mansion somewhere...where you lose yourself.

With your words, I BELIEVE, you paint such exquisite artistry of what my soul feels and so often what it tries to say but doesn't know how. Thank you for be being here with us in this happy family...the one I unconditionally love. :) I'm happy you're here :) I, too, would choose a smaller house - fewer bathrooms to clean lol :) After all I know now, even if it was a big ol' mansion, well, I don't care either way...buildings are buildings...home is where the heart is and size don't matter t'all...walls can tumble down, thank God, so any house can be a happy home...I love good and strong...and I don't give up, I don't stop believing.

Wealth lies not in the hand but in the heart and head.

These lyrics really got me thinkin' about what exactly "true wealth" is-----
To me--some of the richest people I know, are penniless.
True wealth is pureness of character--compassion for all of God's creations--and integrity.
No large figures in one's bank account can compare to those traits of gold.
Money just makes Life easier to some extent and more fun--lol :-)

Boy--You're up early Brian :-)
Thanks---that's just how I feel about it--my Parents instilled those kinds of values into us kids ~"for whole rife" :-)
So they are the "wisest ones" :-)
Thank You for the songs You write that get us to truly ponder important stuff :-) and also for the songs that make us laugh too :-)

I got the wrong side of the tracks thing but sometimes there's some good people on the other side who turn out to be very successful. I'm just saying.

Good job. Love it as always. One should never care if they are from here and the other is from there. It can happen anywhere. Why should they care as long as they have something in common to share. I've seen some odd combinations that made me say huh? But who am I to say anything?

It means like a girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

Brian McFarland, knew some McFarland's years ago back in Kentucky, He is from here she is from there, on the drawing from Jesus We are together, and He peers through the lattice like in the Song of Songs .
