Say that you are dating a sweet young thang who is also a budding musician in the Amarillo area. Say that your sweet young thang has decided that you can't connect with her because of your troubled past.
Now, say that she comes to this conclusion at the same time she has decided to go west and take a shot at a serious music career.
So she breaks up with you. Your response?
Well, according to Miranda Lambert's "New Strings," it's:
"You'll never get too far with a tank of gas and an empty heart!"
Really? What the hell kind of artsy cowboy poofball was this girl dating in Amarillo? Bitch breaks his heart and he starts talking about her gas tank?
Plenty of women have broken up with me to go "find themselves"*, and I've reacted with anger, befuddlement, or a pathetic playing of the nice guy. But I've never broken out with an incoherent metaphor about the impending failure of her career choice.
Stupid lyrics.
*As in, "I done found myself a taller man with a huuuge wallet."
NOTE:
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been adding much lately. That'll probably go on for a while, as I'm getting close to zero hour on the wedding, and I'm spending most of my spare time attempting to get into decent shape. And get a better score on EA NCAA Football. God I miss football. Regardless, I will be adding some more stuff soon, as some ideas are sucking up headspace.
