SONG IN YOUR SOUL FRIDAY

I don’t know about you guys, but this week has been something else. From the national news, to the state news, to the local gossip, it just seems like the whole world is upside down and nothing makes much sense. I’m so tired of stupid political ads on TV, that I’m actually missing the over abundance of pharmaceutical commercials these greasy, lying politicians have pushed out.

Lord, help me! Or, at least Charlie Worsham can, and that’s what I’m going with this morning. This song never fails to make me smile. Here’s to the weekend, and let’s all hope for a great week, next week. Love and peace.

“I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home)”
Chalie Worsham (Ft. Old Crow Medicine Show)

Lyrics

I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home
Flying high through those clouds
Knowing I don't have to ever come down
I'm rolling up a J
Just in case today's the day
I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home

I believe he put it down here for all of us to use
A little piece of heaven to take away your blues
I know I'm far from perfect and I'll call a sin, a sin
But I feel closer to the Lord every time I breathe it in

Hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home
Flying high up through them clouds
Knowing I don't have to ever come down
I'm rolling up a J
Just in case today's the day
Hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home

I can't wait to talk to Moses 'bout the Red Sea and the plagues
Bend Jonah's ear to hear about livin' in a whale three whole days
Get ol' St. Pete to show me the pearly gates and the golden streets
Well, you can bet I'll be good and ready to sit down at the feast

I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home
Flying high up through them clouds
Knowing I don't have to ever come down
I'm rolling up a J
Just in case today's the day
I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home

I bet Bob Marley's mansion has a garden in the back
And he's growin' somethin' special, some celestial homemade hash
We'll sit down on his porch, we'll listen to the angel band
'Til then, I'll sing "I'll Fly Away" with a fat one in my hand

I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home
Flying high through those clouds
Knowing I don't have to ever come down
I'm rolling up a J
Just in case today's the day
I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home

Yeah, let's roll ourselves a J
Just in case today's the day
I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home

SONG IN YOUR SOUL FRIDAY

Love comes in so many forms, and live songs do to. I have been listening to one of my favorite movie soundtracks from the 90’s, The Commitments. The movie is about an ambitious young music producer that puts together a band in Ireland. What makes the band and the movie so good is that this band of young people perform American soul hits from the 50s and 60s. It’s a great movie and you should definitely check it out.

The film honors so many amazing soul artists like Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and more. The song I need to hear this morning is Percy Sledge’s ode to forbidden love. God, I love this song. I want to share that song as performed by the cast.

Have a happy weekend this Memorial Day weekend, and do it with soul. Do all things with soul!

“The Dark End of the Street”
Percy Sledge (performed by The Commitments)

Lyrics

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin, and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street

And when the daylight hour rolls around
If by chance we should walk downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Oh, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

SONG IN YOUR SOUL FRIDAY

Sometimes I just need a driving tune. I drive a lot, and with the rise in gas prices I am even more in need of a distraction. So, I need that song that makes me move in my seat, sing along, and look ridiculous to any other cars that pass me by. This is one of those songs. Give it a play, but only after you turn onto the highway.

Have a great weekend everyone! Spread love by giving as much of yours away as you possibly can.

“Never Leave You”
The Record Company

Lyrics

I know you're gonna be so bad and good to me, alright
The waves are gonna break
They give and then they take me, that's right

This is, this is, this is automatic
Had a little bit, now I've gotta have it
I know, I know, I can never leave you
I can never leave you, I can never leave

I'll keep searching for answers
Find a place in the sun
Forget the things that I've done
I'll keep searching forever
Find a place I can run
California sun

Keep me in the back
Like a stolen Cadillac, alright
There's nothing I can do but ride along with you at night

This is, this is, this is automatic
Had a little bit, now I gotta have it
I know, I know I can never leave you
I can never leave you, I can never leave

I'll keep searching for answers
Find a place in the sun
Forget the things that I've done
I'll keep searching forever
Find a place I can run
California sun

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can never leave you
I can never leave you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can never leave you
I can never leave you

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can never leave you
I can never leave you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I can never ever leave you, yeah

I'll keep searching for answers
Find a place in the sun
Forget the things that I've done
I'll keep searching forever
Find a place I can run
California sun

I can never leave you
I can never leave you
I can never leave you
I can never leave

I'll keep searching for answers
Find a place in the sun
Forget the things that we done
I'll keep searching forever
Find a place we can run
California sun

BRECKEN AND BLAKE WERE ON A NATIONAL PODCAST!

Both Brecken and Blake are graduates of the Trial Lawyers College. The Trial Lawyers College is an organization that was started several years ago in the mountains of Wyoming. Lawyers from across the United States, and some from abroad, come to the College’s programs every year to learn how to better represent their clients and be better human beings in general. It has been more than ten years since both guys attended and completed the college, and they have continued to be associated with it ever since. Brecken is even a member of the faculty.

The guys were asked if they would participate in podcast for the college, and the link below will take you to that interview. Although the podcast is really meant to be geared toward lawyers, we have decided to share it here because the guys talk so much about their own experiences practicing law, and what it is like to do that here in Southeast Oklahoma. If you have ever wondered what it is that drives Brecken and Blake to do what they do, and their own outlook on the profession, you’re going to enjoy this podcast.

BRECKEN IS A FEATURED SPEAKER THIS SUMMER IN MUSIC CITY!

Brecken will be one of the guest presenters at the 2026 Summer Session of the National College of DUI Defense. The theme of this session is "DUI Trials Unleashed: From Voir Dire to Victory.

Mr. Wagner has been a member of the NCDD for a few years now, and it is an incredible honor for him to be invited to share his knowledge with other dedicated defense attorneys from across the U.S. The NCDD is the largest organization of DUI defense attorneys in the country, and the seminars that it puts on are well-renowned in the criminal defense world.

We are proud of Brecken, and know that he will represent Southeast Oklahoma well in Music City.

And how about that picture? Yes, Brecken once had hair.

SONG IN YOUR SOUL FRIDAY

I have been listening to Stephen Wilson Jr. this week. He has a cool style and songwriting and I want to share him with you. This is a cool song and my wife likes the video because it features Joey Breaux and his talents(?). Enjoy.

Don’t forget the Dancing Rabbit Music Festival kicks off this weekend. Get out and let some music into your soul this Friday in downtown McAlester. I’ll see you there.

“Cuckoo”
Stephen Wilson Jr.

Lyrics

Bank owns the house, bank owns the land
Boss owns the truck and the hammer in my hands
Ex got the kids and half of my check
Other half goes to the IRS, cuckoo
My beers on the hood, cars on the blocks
Carburetor parts still sittin' in the box
Wrenching that wrench, stripping that bolt
Bustin' up a knuckle, make a man go, cuckoo
This world keeps shaking me, breaking me, taking me
Making me damn near crazy as a loon, cuckoo
Out here, out there, out pulling my hair out, burn out a little too soon
Running on a train, gunning that race, chasing that carrot on a pole
One more thing in a long line of the things I can't control, ha!
Doc says, "Hi, " gives me a pill
Shoots me a shot, sends me the bill
Life is a road and it's all uphill
If one don't drive you, then the other one will, cuckoo
This world keeps shaking me, breaking me, taking me
Making me damn near crazy as a loon, cuckoo
Out here, out there, out pulling my hair out, burn out a little too soon
Running from a train, gunning that race, chasing that carrot on a pole
One more thing in a long line of the things I can't control
Cuckoo
The sun goes up, sun goes down
We all wind up six feet in the ground (that's right)
Sun goes up, sun goes down
We all wind up six feet in the ground
Sun goes up, sun goes down
We all wind up six feet in the ground
Sun goes up, sun goes down
We all wind up six feet in the ground
Don't know much, tell ya what I do
Sooner or later, we're all gonna go cuckoo
And this world keeps shaking me, breaking me, taking me
Making me damn near crazy as a loon, cuckoo
Out here, out there, out pulling my hair out, burn out little too soon
Dead last place, gunning that race, chasing that carrot on a pole
One more thing in a long line of things I can't control
One more thing in a long line of things I can't control
Oh yeah
(Ooh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Ooh yeah)
(Oh yeah) c'mon
One more thing in a long line of things I can't control (hey)
One more thing in a long line of things I can't control
One more thing in a long line of things I can't control
One more thing in a long line of things I can't control

SONG IN YOUR SOUL FRIDAY

I like how this song is about that type of personality that controls a room. Have you ever been in a room where one-person sems to so clearly be in control? Their presence draws in everyone, and that everyone includes you?

Have you ever been that person to which all the attention is drawn? Have you ever felt that power? Responsibility?

I have always been fascinated by the way we act in groups, how we socialize. I like this song because it makes me think about that, and because it is also really cool.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. If you are in McAlester don’t forget about all of the activities going on downtown this weekend, from the parade to the Grill Marks Festival, to the Artwalk.

“Pretty Vicious”
The Struts

Lyrics

When you talk and everybody listens
Then you walk and everybody whispers
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you got it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so hypnotic
Yeah, yeah, dance like everybody's watching

You can be pretty vicious
I guess that nobody gets you like I do
I know you too well but I'm under your spell
'Cause you're pretty, pretty, pretty
Yeah, you can be pretty vicious
I know you love it 'cause I see what you do
Hold on to myself but I'm under your spell
'Cause you're pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty vicious

You're pretty, you're pretty
P-p-pretty vicious

You're pretty, you're pretty
P-p-pretty vicious

When you talk it's like you're from a vision
When you walk everybody just stares
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you got it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so hypnotic
Yeah, yeah, dance like everybody's watching

You can be pretty vicious
I guess that nobody gets you like I do
I know you too well but I'm under your spell
'Cause you're pretty, pretty, pretty
Yeah, you can be pretty vicious
I know you love it 'cause I see what you do
Hold on to myself but I'm under your spell
'Cause you're pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty vicious

You're pretty, you're pretty
P-p-pretty vicious

You're pretty, you're pretty
P-p-pretty vicious

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you got it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so hypnotic
Yeah, yeah, dance like everybody's watching
You can be pretty vicious
I know you love it 'cause I see what you do
Hold on to myself but I'm under your spell
'Cause you're pretty, pretty, pretty

Yeah, you can be pretty vicious
I know you love it, I see what you do
Hold on to myself, under your spell
You're pretty
Yeah, you're pretty
Pretty vicious

Yeah
Pretty vicious
Woo, yeah
Pretty vicious
Pretty vicious
Yeah, ooh
Oh, yeah
Pretty vicious
You gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go
Pretty vicious

Wagner and Lynch family! Go like Blake's picture

04/29/2026

GIVE THAT MAN A “NOT GUILTY” CIGAR!

Today Brian Whitlock of McAlester heard those two beautiful words, NOT GUILTY five times. Charged with Domestic Assault and Battery Resulting in Great Bodily Injury (felony); Maiming (felony); and three lesser included misdemeanors for the jury to consider. Brian was looking at the potential of life in prison for defending his son in a fight that somebody else started in his home.

Brian was greeted in the hallway after by family that had been supporting him and loving him throughout this trial. Then, over to Brecken’s office where he accepted his NOT GUILTY cigar.

We are so grateful to Brian and his family that he trusted Wagner & Lynch. It was an honor to come to know Brian and his beautiful family and we wish him only good days going forward.

If you, or someone you know is facing the fight of their life, and everything is on the line, contact Wagner & Lynch today.

SONG IN YOUR SOUL FRIDAY

This song is about men that try to get the attention of a woman they are interested in. It’s about that “game.” I will never forget those days when I was trying to get the attention of Mrs. Wagner. Unfortunately for me, I had and continue to have zero game.

Instead, I was clumsy and awkward. I knew that I was going to fail. To me she was the most beautiful and interesting person I had come across in a long time. I asked her dumb and pointless questions, anything to just keep her talking to me. After more time than necessary and too many awkward conversations, I took the leap, I asked her to join me for just a moment that evening. “Just meet me, I’ll be there, whether you decide to stop, or not.”

Yes, the above was the sad lack of confidence and rap I was laying down. I can’t believe that she stopped and joined me either. Maybe I did have her (right where I wanted her), or maybe I was just real damn lucky. Either way, my life sure is better.

A friend told me this week that, “Nostalgia is a powerful drug.” For those of you that do have a love story, here’s to nostalgia, and revisiting those first moments. And to those of you that don’t, here’s to making nostalgia. Get out there. Put yourself out there, and find your person.

“Got You (where I Want You)
The Flys

Lyrics

Hey, what's the point of this
Oh, hey, what's your favorite song
Maybe we could hum along

Well, I think you're smart
You sweet thing
Tell me your name
I'm dying here

Ah-ooh, got you where I want you, oh yeah
Ah-ooh, got you where I want you, oh, yeah

Hey, maybe just a smile
Oh, hey, did you know that I can dance
Could we talk for a while

Well, I think you're smart
You sweet thing
Tell me your sign
I'm dying here

Ah-ooh, got you where I want you, yeah
Ah-ooh, got you where I want you
Where I want you, I want you, yeah

Suffer, suffer
Me don't get no rougher
Rub it up, baby girl, torture me like no other
Suffer, suffer
Me don't get no rougher
When me rock me, baby, put me pain on me, lover

Suffer, suffer
Me don't get no rougher
Rub it up, baby girl, torture me like no other
Suffer, suffer
Me don't get no rougher
When me rock me, baby, put me pain on me, lover

I think you're smart
You sweet thing
Tell me your name
I'm dying here

Ah-ooh (suffer, suffer, me don't get no rougher)
(Rub it up, baby girl, torture me like no other)
Got you where I want you (suffer, suffer, me don't get no rougher)
Yeah, I've got you where I want you (suffer, suffer, me don't get no rougher)
Yeah, I've got you where I want you, want you, want you

Got you where I want you
I've got you where I want you
Got you where I want you
