My single status seems to weigh heavily on other women for some reason. The matchmakers became frustrated and said, ÒWhat do you want?Ó I made a list. The ideal man for this olÕ country gal:
Someone who can gracefully lie to me' a guitar player/song writer/story teller, a man who can use me for his own fun but never ever in a mean spirited way, a cigar smokin', gamblin' cowboy, loved and respected by his community, a good olÕ dog that is sweet talkinÕ and appreciatin', and wonÕt piss up on my front porch.
The friends said, ÒWhat?Ó
So I wrote the stories of the men whose qualities influenced the ideals I want in my man.
