story behind the song: the couple that everyone knows, or think they do
Lyrics
once on some lonely lives
shared a dream or two
waiting for some open skies
to let the sunshine through
once in some lonely dive
shared a drink or two
waiting for some open sighs
to let the truth come too
so why is she still thinking
why he is so like that
always nice and smiling
even knowing where she's at
saddled up another horse
tuned up that pickup truck
tied up in the rains or worse
sometimes just plain bad luck
staring at the wine glass
package in her hand
feeling around the way to ask
if he really, really understands
so why is he still thinking
why she is so like that
always nice and smiling
not knowing where he's at
