From the recording What Does It Mean?
<p>In 2010 I discovered the wonder of "House Concerts" when I was invited to attend a performance by Larry Jon Wilson at the Hillbilly Haiku House Concerts series in Lebanon, TN. I was introduced to Larry Jon Wilson's music in the documentary called "Heartworn Highways". I was instantly taken by his songwriting and his unique style. </p>
<p>This house concert experience was life altering. I was so inspired by Larry Jon's show that I wrote this song that night after the show. I was blessed to have had that experience and on top of that, my good friend Christopher Todd Davis (who got me Larry's albums to start with) and I got to hang out and have some great conversation with LJW that night. A few weeks later we lost Larry Jon Wilson. His music and spirit lives on in so many of us and the world is a better place because of him.</p>
<p>The ascending acoustic guitar lick in this song is in tribute to Larry. He would have said I "Wilsonized" it!</p>

<p>What does it mean, what does it mean?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
<p>What does it look like and how can you tell?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woke up this morning with this wondering in my brain</p>
<p>‘Round and ‘round in circles like the track of a toy train</p>
<p>And in between each lap the same face it did appear</p>
<p>Waving like a flag all of my joys and all my fears</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What does it mean, what does it mean?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
<p>What does it take and when will it give?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Emotions, potions, oceans filled with creatures big and small</p>
<p>Laughing, crying, dying, trying hard to get along</p>
<p>Clustered flustered folks who falter riding the same fence</p>
<p>And binding it together a single word that makes no sense, so</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What does it mean, what does it mean?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
<p>Why does it hurt and how does it heal?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So what makes it stand and why must we fall?</p>
<p>What does it mean to be in love?</p>
