Thanks Vondelle,
I don't feel quite so foolish anymore. I had just started listening to country music when He Stopped Loving Her Today was winning all the awards. (seemed like two years in a row at the time,...but must have been the different Country music associations)
Since the style of music was different from my usual choices, I can't say as how I listened all that closely to the song, and didn't catch the full story until after several listens.
But the Three Wooden Crosses, I got on the first listen. Beyond the twist at the end, I was immediately struck by the use of the word HOOKER. thinking it might draw some flack for crudeness. And then when they get to the part where it's her son's choice of words...........well okay........I lightened up.
Escape is another good one.
a much smaller twist comes in George Strait's The Chair. leaves you thinking ......wow what a great pickup line, but it won't work now, cause she'll see it coming.
