Recently we were over at the saloon enjoying 'a little something' and visiting with friends when Don put on a song from the juke box and we started to listen to the lyrics. The lyrics included the age old question, "Do these jeans make my ass look big?" As the song continued the commentary included, "To make a long story short, she's gone." As I had previously commented, you can not answer that question and live. We loved the song and when we returned home tried to find out more about the song. We wondered what the title was and who wrote the song and where could we get a copy and questions like that. We had not heard the song well enough to realise what the title might be.
Foxy began the googling process on our computer and tried, do these pants make my ass look big. That did not generate anything so she tried jeans and finally gave up. Several nights later we asked Don to again play the song and he found it on record 45, the eleventh song. We then learned the title was 'To make a long story short, she's gone.' We also learned that apparently the song was written by Willie Nelson who is not only a great country western singer with a bad hairdo but also a prolific song writer. I do like to hear Willie sing, I just don't like to look at him. Foxy is going to try to put a link on this blog so that you can hear the song. It is one funny song.
The Willie Nelson song is not the correct song so furthur research is necesary. Happy travels.
