lyrics

Every now and then a stranger will walk by
And they always look so inviting from time to time
They build you up, make a castle way up high
But they always let you down after the ride
So don’t ever leave them, don’t lie or mistreat them
Don’t hurt the ones who’ve loved you the most

You may take a trip by bus, or by plan
Ride around the world in a big ol’ fancy plane
Play to millions of people who know you by name
But the ones at home, they’ll love you just the same
So don’t ever leave them, don’t lie or mistreat them
Don’t hurt the ones, who’ve loved you the most

It don’t make you any kind of big person
To walk around like you ain’t got learnin
Talk about a bird, that you’ve never seen fly
Bury the truth so you can live a lie

I wonder about the old folks at home
I wonder how they’re getting along since I’ve been gone
One day the grass’ll grow high and cover up my bones
And I will return to the place, I call my own
You can’t ever say son, that I forgot my raisin’
Don’t hurt the ones, who’ve loved you the most
Don’t hurt the ones, who’ve loved you the most.

That's How Rumors Get Started
by Margo Price

supported by 12 fans who also own “Don't Hurt The Ones (Who've Loved You)”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.

Denim & Diamonds
by Nikki Lane

I am not really an expert in today's country music. I know and appreciate Sheryl Crow or the Dixie Chicks, but that's it more or less. NIKKI LANE's rocking style with a decent rough edge fits quite well to this "strong women" references. Several songs are catchy and always welcome on my soft music playlists, check for example "First High", "Born Tough" or "Black Widow". H.L.
