Last night, outta the blue
Driftin’ off to the evening news
She said "Honey, what would you doIf you’d never met me"
I just laughed, said "I don’t know,
But I could take a couple guesses though"
And then tried to dig real deep,
Said, "Darling honestly...
I’d do a lot more offshore fishin’
I’d probably eat more drive-thru chicken
Take a few strokes off my golf game
If I’d have never known your name
I’d still be driving that old green ‘Nova
I probably never would have heard of yoga
Be a better football fan
But if I was a single man
Alone and out there on the loose
Well I’d be looking for a woman like you."
I could tell that got her attentionSo I said,
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention,
I wouldn’t trade a single day
For a hundred years the other way.
"She just smiled and rolled her eyes,
Cause she’s heard all of my lines
I said, "C’mon on girl, seriously
If I hadn’t been so lucky
I’d be shootin’ pool in my bachelor pad
Playing bass in my cover band
Restocking up cold Bud Light
Play poker every Tuesday night, yeah
I’d have a dirt bike in the shed
And not one throw pillow on the bed
I’d keep my cash in a coffee can
But if I was a single man
Alone and out there on the loose
Well I’d be looking for a woman like you."
She knows what a mess I’d be if I didn’t have her here
But to be sure, I whispered in her ear"
You know I get sick deep-sea fishin’
And you make the best fried chicken
I got a hopeless golf game
I love the sound of your name
I might miss that old green ‘Nova
But I love watchin’ you do yoga
I’d take a gold band on my hand
Over being a single man
Cause honestly I don’t know what I’d do
If I’d never met a woman like you."
-“A Woman Like You” by Lee Brice –
I am currently obsessed with this song. I just love it. And then it got me thinking about what life would be life if I had never met a man like Garth...
I’d do a lot more scrapbooking. I would probably eat cereal for dinner every night. Live in a condo in a small downtown. I’d eat a lot more sushi. Read more theology books. Own a dog since I would hate to live alone. I would live so close to work I could walk. Restock my wine cellar. Have Real Housewives viewing parties with the girls. I wouldn’t own a single tool. Host wine night every Fridaynight. Be a better Kardashian fan. I’d probably still watch way too many romantic comedies."
But I love the sound of his name. I'm not that good at scrapbooking. You make the best dinners. I love our house in our little town. I don't need sushi when I have your steaks. I get to read theology to you which is one of my favorite things we do together. I don't mind the commute since I have you to come home to. One day we will have a wine (and beer) sellar in our basement. Your comments during Real Housewives are much more entertaining. I love watching you work with tools. I rather walk with you after dinner than catch up on the Kardashians. I love watching romantic comedies with you.
