Three dollars' worth of that bathroom Polo




If, in an alternative world, Aging Cowgirl were a highly successful country act, she would definitely cover Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats".

My favorite part of the lyrics:

Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars' worth of that bathroom Polo
And he don't know

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats

Oh, you know it won't be on me

*She looks a little like Britney, pre-meltdown, here, doesn't she?

pop lyricism at its finest.

I love this song. It was one of the overplayed ones that I didn't mind listening to over and over again. I love that she defaces a precious SUV.
