    I was born in 1962 and turned 62 July 2024.ear buds in blasting that music and locked the world outside. The late 70s 80'S 90's were the best many great memories. Back when things made sense. I have this song on CD my favorite. This song has brought me back from this crazy world were living in.Still here September 2024!!!!

By some miracle God brought me to a Mission Teens center and my entire life has turned around. Restored my kids to me, my family,I haven't struggled with addiction or depression since I left! There IS hope you just have to cry for help and open up your heart to Him! God is just waiting for you to ask him and He WANTS to help❤ Miracles do happen

    Simply one the greatest songs ever written. I have never really listened to Soul Asylum before, not because they lacked in any way, but because my playlist was already huge. My boss played this song at work and from my very first listen, i knew immediately it was my new all time favorite. I had no idea at the time who i was listening to, didnt care. That was 5 years ago and i still say....one of the greatest songs ever written, no question!

Listen people, if a kid is running away, look deeper, there just may be a reason that they cannot or do not know how to express! I became a nurse when I was 36!

      You want to remember how to "SMILE", So back in the day when I was in my "PRIME" (around 17) before I got so "JADED", I was in Cookeville With friends, Cops roll up tell us to "Clear the Parking lot", Out of the Blue, This Pregnant Runaway Jumps freely into my Truck yelling "Go, Go , Go before we get into trouble" Now I had a "Show" truck back then and my Club Affiliation was Cookeville, TN "Catching Eyes", Now some 20 years later, well in 2012 after getting my hair cut at Smart Style, a Beautiful, Young Smart Amanda Jade Denton gave me a card and a "You don't comeback for me I am your Loss" , So for July 2013 BadaBing! Mini Truckin O.G Throwback article fans "The paint so clean you can count your freckles", was as for the as Truck Trends put it The 2015 "Return of a Legend Slammin' & Jammin'" was just 2BrewDent4U due to in 2014 when my Ranger got totaled by a Negligent Driver, Amanda Jade Denton got this "Show" worthy Order or Protection, That "One" day will look "AWESOME" on display with my Truck "BUT" She felt my "TRUCK" shows Obsession with Jade Flames (Krylon Jade Green paint so clean you can count your freckles) and Jade Wheels (They are actually Jaded Billet Specialties, Hence How I got so "JADED" OLD and Wornout) and my "Criminal" history was "CONCERNING", well that's during Rutherford Counties Extortion Scandal dateing from 2011-2017 with Rutherford Counties Sheriff Arnold stated in 2015 "It's not about the money, It's about your Debt to society" None the Less BadaBing! That's "Paint so Clean I can count my freckles in" maybe 2BrewDent4U. Oh just to keep you "Smiling" My name is Leon and Just for Jade Denton, there is also a Band "Kings of Leon" with "Use Somebody".....Just saying Help me remember how to smile, and How did I get so "JADED", Life Stories full of Mysteries isn't it.

      Thank you for saying that. I hope you don’t mind but I would like to use it. See I grew up very abused and I was a trafficked child before they had a name for it . I grew up and yes I partied here and there and sometimes go on a binge for a day or two but always or at least I thought I kept my life in check. I was seeking to forget about things that happened and so I had to always be busy. I have a daughter well 3 but my youngest that I use to sing and dance to this song. I always felt it talking about me. And as years passed my kids grew up and I had a lot of alone time and I did more drugs for a minute then went to rehab and I have stayed clean. But then See my daughter thank God is in recovery now but she started using and she used stuff I never really did but by accident because I was high and someone gave me but never did again. I thought I was going to loose her. I even had to take her daughter away. But today life looks better just like it is supposed to be. It gets darkest before the dawn. My daughter heard this come on the radio today and taped some with her phone and sent it to me. And she told me our memory’s of dancing and singing. I am happy about that but at the same time sad. Because maybe if I would have not been who I was then she would not be who she was. I am not saying I used like that because I went years without using and then do it for a while then stop. But if I would have never done once maybe she wouldn’t have.
