It's funny how much music has touched on my life so much in the past month. I have always felt like Country Music described my life, but lately, it's dead on. I mean one song in particular this morning did it for me. Granted, it's a song that would apply to both sides of my relationship with my Spousal Unit (SU) of late.
The SU wants to move on in life without me to try and find happiness. She said she doesn't want to be married to me anymore. I am coming to grips with this, but when I heard the song on my Home Entertainment System (the laptop, with my MP3s, plugged into my DVD player which has surround sound) coming through so clear, I realized it wasn't just me the Clay Walker was singing about.
Then What, by Clay Walker
Well I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
But he never seems quite satisfied
I said I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what
Well I ain't saying that looking's a crime
Well I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's price for ever promise you don't keep
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it aint really lust
You ain't anybody anybody is gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what
Do want you want, do want you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it aint really lust
You ain't anybody anybody's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what
Now granted, this song can apply to a whole bunch of people's lives, but I think it is really applicable to hers right now. I mean, The grass is not always greener. Especially when you are changing games mid-season.
