thank you, kristi

Saturday night Kristi and I ventured out to Dallas to listen to some live music with our sunburned selves. (We had enjoyed a little too much pool time that afternoon.) I know we'll regret it when we're old and have wrinkly leather skin, but until then...oh well. So we went to a late dinner and then to listen to one of the Texas country singers I like, Josh Grider. Kristi probably won't admit how much she loved the music (yeah right!) but she was a nice friend to go with me. I guess now I owe you one, Kristi.

Here are some of the lyrics to one of his songs "Crazy Like You" that I like...

Well people sing songs all the time

Bout fallin in love and losing their minds

But it ain't love that drives folks mad

It's livin this life day in, day out

Tryin to figure out what it's all about

The who's, the when's, the where's, the why's, and the maybe's

I looked high, I looked low, looked far, looked wide

Before I looked in a mirror and I realized

I spend my time lookin for the wrong thing

A perfect insane would be so mundane

A man like me, I'm subject to change

And I'm lookin for someone whose tracks'll fit my train

I found me a girl and she's five foot four

And I never found a girl that I dote more

We are in tune and out of touch with all the same things

And she's as wild and mean as a deep blue sea

And pure and sweet as honey from a bee

And I love her to death, cuz that girl's crazy just like me

The chorus:

I say everybody's crazy so what you need to do

You need to find somebody crazy like you

Someone you can fuss and fight with

And when you make up then you can kiss all night with

Someone who shares your particular point of view

Oh they're bound to be crazy, just make sure they're crazy like you

So I guess I've been going at it all wrong. What I should've been doing was looking for someone crazy like me. :) Now I get it!
