Story Behind The Song
The idea is the woman is trying get her husband to come back by making it clear there are other men who would be interested in her.
Song Description
When you left me, well I knew I was never ever going get over you,
a one man's woman gonna live my life alone.
But the nights got lonely and so terribly long
and I got a yearning for a country song,
so I went down to that little bar alone.
Where I met a man with a smile like the morning sun,
and laughter flowing free like a waterfall.
and it seemed to me that some ties he undone,
and I'm gonna get over you after all.
After all of the years and all of the kids,
who would ever think you'd leave me like this
when you're the only man I've every know.
But you said I'd get over you,
how I was going to do it I hadn't a clue,
so I went down to this little bar near home.
Where I met a man with a smile like the morning sun,
and laughter flowing free like a waterfall.
and it seemed to me that some ties he undone,
and I'm gonna get over you after all.
Where I met a man with a smile like the morning sun,
Wish I knew just what I did,
to make you up and leave me like this,
but there's some things I guess I'll never know.
And it doesn't matter now,
I'm going have to get over you some how,
So I went down to that little bar near home.
and laughter flowing free like a waterfall.
And he says he thinks that I'm lots of fun
and I'm gonna get over you after all.

Lyrics
When you left me, well I knew I was never ever going get over you,
a one man's woman gonna live my life alone.
But the nights got lonely and so terribly long
and I got a yearning for a country song,
so I went down to that little bar alone.
Where I met a man with a smile like the morning sun,
and laughter flowing free like a waterfall.
and it seemed to me that some ties he undone,
and I'm gonna get over you after all.
After all of the years and all of the kids,
who would ever think you'd leave me like this
when you're the only man I've every know.
But you said I'd get over you,
how I was going to do it I hadn't a clue,
so I went down to this little bar near home.
Where I met a man with a smile like the morning sun,
and laughter flowing free like a waterfall.
and it seemed to me that some ties he undone,
and I'm gonna get over you after all.
Where I met a man with a smile like the morning sun,
Wish I knew just what I did,
to make you up and leave me like this,
but there's some things I guess I'll never know.
And it doesn't matter now,
I'm going have to get over you some how,
So I went down to that little bar near home.
and laughter flowing free like a waterfall.
And he says he thinks that I'm lots of fun
and I'm gonna get over you after all.
