My Dirty Little Secret

I can't hide it anymore. Somehow, some way, people are going to find out and I might as well be made fun of know instead of later.

I like Country Music.

There, I said it. What a relief!

Luckily I am finding more and more people that also enjoy it, so I am not feeling so weird about it. Cheryl has always enjoyed it, but while we were at Shandy's house yesterday, I also found out she likes it. I should have known though, she is from Texas after all, but her husband even likes it. Our Pastor, Scott, likes Bluegrass, so he is almost there. He was making fun of us for liking it and I was kind of like, "Umm, Bluegrass? Do you have room to talk?"

He also laughed at me for celebrating my dog's birthday... it's a shame when a man can't express love to his loyal poochy companion. Maybe someday he'll be enlightened.

Back to the point...

I wanted to get all this out there because I heard a great song this morning as I was waking up by Ketih Urban (Australian Country Singer... Goo'Day Y'all). Part of the reason I enjoy country music so much, is that is says something. The songs are stories. There are things that you can laugh at, cry over (isn't that right Cheryl) and identify with in most of the songs that I am drawn to.

I am going to get mushy again, but I loved this song. So here it is.

My Better Half

Car door slams, it's been a long day at work
I'm out on the freeway and I'm wondering if it's all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn't seem fair
I pull into the drive and you're standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight

It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half

They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that's a lie
'Cause when it comes to you I'd rather have you by my side
You don't know how much I count on you to help me
When I've given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you me tight

It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half

Well, you take my hand
You pull me close and I understand

It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
