    So, I just found out that Vince Gill wrote "Go Rest High on that Mountain" for Keith Whitley, and included the line "You were no stranger to the rain" to honor Keith's hit song. Vince Gill is highly underrated. The man knows how to write straight to the heart.

      Alcohol, meth, heroin, and cocaine have all been things in my life that started off as being a solution to my pain and deficiencies, a friend when i felt lonely, and a magic potion that eliminated my insecurities and awkwardness when talking to or trying to get to know and date women. .Its a rough road but it can get better. I hear a lot of heartache in Keith Whitleys lyrics.

      I know about this as my brother is an alcoholic and has been for years. It is such a shame since Keith's career was really getting hot. I think today he would be one of the greatest country singers of all time and would be in the CMA Hall of Fame along with George Strait, Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson.

    I'm no stranger to the rain
    I'm a friend of thunder
    Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me?
    I've fought with the devil
    Got down on his level
    But I never gave in, so he gave up on me
    I'm no stranger to the rain
    I can spot bad weather
    And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
    I've been sacrificed by brothers
    Crucified by lovers
    But through it all, I withstood the pain
    I'm no stranger to the rain
    When I get that foggy feeling
    The one I'm feeling now
    If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
    But it's hard to keep believing
    I'll even come out even
    While the rain beats a hole in the ground
    And tonight, it's really coming down
    I'm no stranger to the rain
    But there'll always be tomorrow
    And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
    And I'll put this cloud behind me
    That's how the man designed me
    To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
    I'm no stranger to the rain
    Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
    I'm no stranger to the rain
    I'm a friend of thunder
    Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me?
    But I'll put this cloud behind me
    That's how the man designed me
    To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane

    We lost an amazing Heart, Soul, and Voice when Keith Whitley died in 1989 of acute alcohol poisoning. His songs were a big part of my physical and mental recovery when I came back all shot to pieces from Beruit, Lebanon in 1984.
    Check out one his albums friends. You'll see what I mean. Peace and Love, all.
