Sorry to take so long to reply. Hey OD, you forgot; It's a 7 1/2 hr. drive AND $150, to get a free $15 dinner! But remember, it's not about the drive or the money or the free dinner; It's about RELATIONSHIPS. I do have several friends over there, and this "free dinner" gives me a reason to go visit.
Oh, and by the way, how much money (and driving time) did you (we) spend last July just to get a small piece of MAB's birthday cake? It wasn't really about the cake at all now, was it?
Speaking of song ideas, my wife loves chick flicks. This past holiday season we must have watched dozens of them. And every one of them has the same theme; Boy/girl gets girl/boy, loses girl/boy, gets girl/boy back. Just different visuals and story line on how it happens. BUT, I've never heard that in a song.
V1: Boy gets girl
C: That's how love goes
V2: Boy loses girl
C: That's how love goes
B: Boy gets girl back, lives happily ever after
C: That's how love goes
NOT that the hook would be "that's how love goes", but that emotion.
