Story Behind The Song

I wanted this "faux-country" number to have all the trappings of a classic country song including heartbreaking lyrics and lush instrumentation and vocals. I love this concept of the horny guy who thinks he's cool, but just makes a sorry ass of himself.

Song Description

Hapless guy thinks he can get his wife into a three-way with a pretty young thing that HE is hot for. Well, pretty soon they are spending all their time together, and then his wife drops the bomb - the girls are in love - leaving HIM standing out in the

Lyrics

I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife
It's the saddest darn story, I ever heard in my life
How do you think I felt, when I was told?
That I'd be the one standin' out in the cold
I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife

Well, it was me that suggested that the three of us go to town
'Cause I sure liked havin' that pretty little thing around
She and my wife started makin' eyes
How was I to know that she don't dig guys
I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife

Chorus: I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife
It's the saddest darn story, I ever heard in my life
How do you think I felt, when I was told?
That I'd be the one standin' out in the cold
I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife

Well, the next thing I know, there're gettin' together every night
And I got a funny feelin' they was gettin' too tight
Then my wife goes out on a four-night bender
And comes back home, and tells me I'm the wrong gender
I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife

Chorus

Well, they moved in together, sharin' the same damn bed!
And when I think about it, it drives me out-a my head
And to crank my misery up just one notch
They already told me that I couldn't watch
I'm in love with the girl, run off with my wife

Chorus
