Introduction
Hey there! I’ve got a song to share with you that feels like a warm hug on a chilly day—Charley Pride’s “Just for the Love of It.” Imagine sitting on a porch with an old friend, sipping on something comforting, and letting the gentle breeze carry your worries away. That’s the vibe this song gives off.
Charley Pride, a legend in the country music scene, pours his heart into this track, and you can feel it in every note. It’s one of those songs that makes you stop and reflect on what really matters in life—the simple joys and pure love that make everything worthwhile. Pride’s smooth, rich voice wraps around the lyrics like a cozy blanket, reminding you of the beauty in everyday moments.
What’s special about “Just for the Love of It” is how it seems to tap into universal emotions. Whether you’re a die-hard country fan or just someone who appreciates heartfelt music, this track has a way of resonating deeply. It’s like Charley is saying, “Hey, let’s pause and appreciate the love around us, just because it’s there and it’s real.”
And here’s something interesting: Charley Pride was one of the few African American artists to break into the country music scene in the ’60s and ’70s, which makes his work not only beautiful but historically significant. He paved the way for more diversity in the genre, and listening to his music feels like being part of something bigger.
So next time you need a little pick-me-up or a reminder of life’s simple pleasures, put on “Just for the Love of It.” Let it transport you to a place where love is celebrated just for being love. Isn’t it amazing how a song can do that? Do you have a song that makes you feel this way? I’d love to hear about it!

Lyrics
I remember walking with my daddy through
His weathered fields of grain
But he wouldn’t curse the sun or
Give up on the rain
I ask him why don’t you sell this place
Move to town you’ll have money to burn
He said son you don’t understand I don’t
Do this for what I earn
Oh it’s just for the love of it
That’s all the reason you need
What more could anyone
Ask satisfaction guaranteed
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love
Drove on back to Nashville thinking
That my daddy’s words couldn’t be true
How could a man keep pouring out his
Heart just to get it broke into
Then I looked around my two bare
Rooms and realized he wasn’t wrong
And picked up this old guitar
And poured out another song
Oh it’s just for the love of it
That’s all the reason you need
What more could anyone
Ask satisfaction guaranteed
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love
The next summer I walked with my daddy
Through his golden fields of grain
Giving thanks to heaven above for
The sunshine and the rain
Just leave it in the good Lords
Hands He always will provide
And you’ll know what His reason is you
Don’t even have ask Him why
He’ll say just for the love of it
That’s all the reason you need
What more could anyone
Ask satisfaction guaranteed
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love=
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love
