I am... a Country Gal

There is nothing so moving as music, especially country music, when your heart is hurting.  It's so easy to identify with the lyrics of a hundred different songs.  The song that started the tears at the concert as I listened, swayed and applauded was sung by Easton Corbin.

I could write a thousand letters
Call a hundred times a day
Or try to drown my sorrow at the bar
I could go down to the church
Get on my knees and pray
But it still won't change the way things really are
Won't bring you back again

I can love you for all I'm worth
To the ends of the earth
But I just can't love you back

While the song speaks more about a woman who left her man,
to me the song is more about how: 
you can't go back, 
you can't undo, 
you can't change what's happened in the past, 
no matter how much you love someone.

And I realized that at heart, I am  country gal, through and through.
