Keep It Real.
"Keep it Country".
My wife is cool enough to let me write about personal things, to be a songwriter exploring the shadowy sides of love.
A Sunday morning spent reading the paper together, maybe drinking some mimosas, alone, and talking until noon. That would be pretty amazing. Married couples with kids will understand.
But as far as being an American and loving this country and getting a chance to travel across it every day and meeting people on the road and folks in the military, I love this country on so many different levels.
