Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys workin’ at the pumps/And we’d pull up and fall in love/And they’ve all moved away”

RIP Toby Keith. Lots of famous musicians have recorded Fred Eaglesmith songs but he just happens to have recorded my favourite which reminds me so much of my high school years working in a small town gas station: “White Rose” – Toby Keith
