country musics predictability brought it once again

I bought this CD last week and came across the funniest song. I'm not one to hold bitterness or grudges towards my exes, but this song kind of makes me wish I did. It cracks me up every time.

"I'll Take You Back"
When a freight train jumps off a track
And rolls down my road
And its summer time in Texas
And they're playing in the snow
When politicians everywhere stop telling lies
And only state the facts
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

Let's say I get bucked off a bull and fall and hit my head
And then I get amnesia and forget the things you said
I lose my better judgment and I take up smoking crack
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

Go on keep trying
Come on keep calling
You know I like it
When you come crawling
It's like music
To hear you bawling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

When Donald Trump takes a part time job parking cars
When Clint Eastwood does ballet in a big pink leotard
And a donkey wins the Derby as he takes his victory lap
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

The day that old morning sun rises in the west
And they pass a law in L.A. banning artificial breasts
When cars can run on water, gasoline and oil ain't worth jack
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

It's like music
To hear you balling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

Awww. That's sweet. I'm going to go ahead and guess that this was written post-breakup. And that she slept with his brother.

Just a hunch.

Those lyrics are gold.

Well Katie......it has begun! Id hoped it never would....but it has. Balls is presenting a certain someone with a certain sparkly thing that goes on a certain finger today. One down. But think of the East Indian engagement parties and week long wedding....that will be fun. But it is sad to see him go......I know how much you loved him.......

HOLY SHIT! Love is in the air left, right and centre! That is so awesome.. Who thought he'd be the first to go though eh? Good old Balls..

Who will be next...?

Maybe we should bet on it..
