Dialog

Kid Rock is known for his unique combination of rap and rock music. Sheryl Crow is known for having one of the most beautiful voices in the music business. Together, they make a powerful pair. Rock’s rough voice is a nice contrast to the smooth sound of Sheryl’s.
“Picture” shows Kid Rock’s sensitive side, much like the song on his last album “Only God Knows Why.” Check out some of the lyrics:
I thought about you for a long time
Can’t seem to get you off my mind
I can’t understand why we’re living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I’ll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I’ll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you, come back home
