I listen to a lot of country music, and there's one common theme that I don't understand. It's when a guy is singing about himself or a girl about her man, he can't make it home on time. He doesn't call to tell her he'll be home late, and of course he had told her not to worry when he does this, but she leaves him. It's sad.
Do these guys not have cell phones? They can't call, or text? Are they alcoholics and are in such a rush to to make it to happy hour after work and completely forget to tell their wives? What's the deal?
Now, I understand the gist of the problem: he's cheating on her...so she leaves. But can't they make up some other story line? Coming home late? This was ok in the 70s and 80s when they didn't have cell phones, but it just doesn't make sense any more. I think these guys should give their wife a call or text to let them know they'll be messing around, and be home late.
