She Couldn't Change Me.



This is for all the people that enjoy country western music.  The theme of change covers some old sayings of my father.  "The only constant in life is change."  "And the more things change, the more they remain the same."  I would like to add that "How much alike we are is more important than our differences due to sex, race, religion, age, etc."  Due to our human nature and the insight in the Serenity Prayer, most of you will be able to relate to the following humor.



She married him because he was such a "strong man"
She divorced him because he was such a "dominating male."

He married her because she was so "fragile and petite."
He divorced her because she was so "weak and helpless."

She married him because "he knows how to provide a good living."
She divorced him because "all he thinks about is business."

He married her because "she reminds me of my mother."
He divorced her because "she's getting more like her mother every day."

She married him because he was "happy and romantic."
She divorced him because he was "shiftless and fun-loving."

He married her because she was "steady and sensible."
He divorced her because she was "dull and boring."

She married him because he was "the life of the party."
She divorced him because "he never wants to come home from a party."



I been your lover
I been your friend
I been your faithful one-woman man
I been your diamond in the rough
Now you say you wanna polish me up

Why, why, why do you wanna change me now
Ain't I the one you loved everything about
You might start missin' the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now

I remember you used to like
Walkin' with me on my wilder side
My kind 'a crazy
It turned you on
Do you really want that part of me gone

Why why why
Ain't I the one
You might start missin'




in the words of Montgomery Gentry ...

Sometimes i think what turned her on
Was my old broke down boots
She wanted her a real cowboy
It was a phase she was going through
Not one week after she moved in
I caught her painting the bedroom blue,
Brought home a bottle of pink chambline
And poured out my best home brew

I was sitting on the porch in my overalls
As she packed her things to leave
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me

She changed directions
Headed out west,
Changed her tune to some hip hop mess
Her dark brown hair went to blonde
And her pretty blue eyes went to green
She changed everything when she couldn't change me

She was setting beside the ocean,
Looking out at the waves
Watching how they keep on rolling
Always seemed the same
She called and said she'd been thinking about
All those quiet country nights
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
Suddenly seemed alright

I was setting on the porch in my overalls
When her truck pulled into view
She said i changed my mind when i couldn't change you

She changed directions
Headed back home
She changed her tune
It's all haggard and jones
Had her dark brown hair pulled back and
The bluest eyes you ever seen
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me

She changed directions
She's back in my arms
She thought it through had a change of heart
She said I guess when you love someone you just got to let it be
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
She changed it all when she couldn't change me
She couldn't change me
