Has anyone really listened to the words of this George Strait song? When I heard it today, I thought that, with the exception of the reference to the blind date and the singles cruise, this song describes the perfect Plan B...it also describes that life does exist after divorce:

He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye.
Thought she might do some cryin': lose some sleep at night.
But he had no idea, when he hit the road,
That without him in her life, she'd let herself go.

Let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

She poured her heart an' soul into their three-bedroom ranch.
Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants.
Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note,

And without him there to stop her, she let herself go.

Let herself go on her first blind-date:
Had the time of her life with some friends at the lake.
Let herself go, buy a brand new car,
Drove down to the beach he always said was too far.
Sand sure felt good between her toes:

She let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

To Vegas once: Honolulu, New York City.
Came back knocked-out pretty.

Regards,

BB

This song makes my FWH very uncomfortable. He skips it everytime we listen to the CD together.

AD, don't you listen to country music? If it's a country song, he lost everything she had, so I assume she got it.

What do you get when you play country music backwards? You get your truck back, your house back, your wife back, your dog back....

LOL

But if you didn't have a truck or a dog, you'd only get your wife back?
