I had this song sung in my face about dozen times by drunk older people before I learned this was an actual song. Now i love me some Dolly. In my eyes she can do no wrong. This song could not be anymore not describing me. I am far from the eyes of green fair red headed man stealer.
I find it really moving though. Its a style of song writing that is not too uncommon in country music. Which in my opinion is some of the most clever song writing in the world.
Country music lets loose in a style of very revealing and personal story telling, that is all too easy to mock but none the less very trueful.
Today you hear songs about stealing man , not needing a man, being too hot for man, but here Dolly reveals that wanting desperate and almost all too real insecure side of being in love.
