Wanted!

Alright, so this has happened to me sooo many times and it happened again this morning!

I'm driving along in the car and Alan Jackson comes on the radio singing "Woman".


You know the one... "Woman! One good hearted woman!"

So I'm singing and then I start thinking about the song. I'm trying to figure out if it's a breakup song or a make up song or a song about his dog when I kind of replay the first verse a little bit:

"Excuse me, ma'am can you help me?
I need to place an ad with you today.
No ma'am, tomorrow may be too late.
I'd like to have it started right away.
What's that? No this is personal.
I'm not buying or selling anything.
Yes ma'am, I know just what to say.
I wrote it down, this is what it should say..."

and then it hits me and i realize DUH! It's about placing a wanted ad in the local paper.

So when the chorus came up the next time it was so obvious that he was saying:

"WANTED! One Good Hearted Woman
To forgive imperfection
In the man that she loves.
Wanted! Just one chance to tell her
How much he still loves her.
He can't be sorry enough."

And for the first time in ohh... 10 years (?)... the song made sense!
So here's to musical revelations but most importantly, to country music! :)
