Guy perspective in response to Carrie Underwood's hit single "Before He Cheats"

lyrics

Listen little mama, Daddy figures it's time
we move along to the end
Cuz I've been thinking 'bout how you freaked out last night over
playing stick with friends
You put a Louisville® through my truck grill
you carved your name in my leather you're nuts girl
I said you gotta move on, move on
Because the feeling's gone so wrong, so wrong

And there was a time (and there was a time) when there was roses and wine (roses and wine)
and now there's weeds and beer, yeah

CHORUS:
Baby there's nothing about you that makes me want to bring it home (bring it home)
and honey there's nothing about you that makes me feel obligated to carry on (carry on)
Honey there's something I've learned about living
you get what you give so you know what you'll be gettin'
and honey there will be no happy endings here, it's clear
Mamma there'll be never nothing for ya here
Never nothing for you here

Check it, do you remember when we agreed to be
friendly? So what's been puzzlin' me
is that you've been taking it so hard, oh
a Southern firecracker beautiful but risky
hotter than the Bayou on a summer's eve
man the devil looks good to me, yeah so good

and there was a time, when there was warmth in your eyes
and now there's just cold stares yeah

CHORUS

and I know your dirty little secret girl
that it's you that's been untrue

Darlin' if we had some more time (if we had some more time),
we could give it a try (give it a try)
if I could give a damn yeah

LAST CHORUS:
Baby there's nothing about you that makes me want to bring it home
and honey there's nothing about you that makes me feel obligated to carry on
Honey there's something I've learned about living
you get what you give so you know what you'll be gettin'

and honey there will be no happy endings here, it's clear
Yeah yeah, no happy ending here it's clear
Mamma there'll be never nothing for ya here
Never nothing for you here

about

PETE [stringfellow] Nashville, Tennessee

Tradition-steeped prodigy, rural technologist, Hollywood farm boy. The paradoxes are many for PETE [stringfellow], as his new single "Pole Dance" attests. That a country artist would even consider a song with that title is a conversation starter all on its own, and the song's clever twist is already leaving both sides of the debate smiling.
