@[Freedom:9217] Lover I would agree with FreedomHeals that this was more about giving women the choice to either go to work or stay home and raise children, and not necessarily about HAVING to go to work. I also don't think that that was the worst thing to happen to the women's movement of the 1970's. The worst thing (or one of the worst things) that happened to the women's movement was the so-called "sexual revolution." Instead of encouraging men to raise their moral standards to what had been expected of women before the sexual revolution, women were encouraged to lower their moral standards to what had always been expected of men. Of course, the double standard that had been in place wasn't okay. But what happened with the sexual revolution wasn't okay either. I realize that I'm digressing here. This isn't really what this song is about. But your comment about the women's movement having some less-than-desirable results made me want to get my two cents in about this. I still think that overall, the women's movement started out as a good thing. But sadly, it was hijacked by fanatics, who twisted it into something ugly. |

| @[HDH:9216] Yes, Medlock's dad, Shorty, was definitely the inspiration for The Ballad of Curtis Lowe. The members of Lynyrd Skynyrd said that he was the inspiration for that song in a radio interview. | |

| @[ChlorinatedBubblegum:8518] No. There's absolutely nothing about religion in this song. People of all faiths pray. Even someone who doesn't believe in God might pray to the universe. | |

| @[gaeastigma:8517] That's exactly what I think this song is about. They're both praying that he will survive and make it back home from the war that he's being sent off to fight in, so that they will be back together someday. | |

| @[The_Soul:8477] I agree. I would like to see a video that shows what this song is really about, maybe one that tells a story about someone chasing their dreams. Unfortunately I wouldn't know where to find a video like that, and I'm not tech savvy enough (yet) to put it together with the song and upload it onto youtube. Maybe someday. | |
| Dottie West – What Are We Doin' in Love Lyrics | 8 years ago |

I think this song is about a man and a woman, each married to someone else, who are having an affair. What are we doin' in a mess like this - The situation is a big mess. What are we gonna tell all our friends - If it gets out, they will have to do a lot of explaining to all their friends, and it won't be easy. But if we have to goodbye to a life we've gotten used to - They have gotten used to life with the ones they are with. Maybe this is way off base, but that's what I get out of this song. |
