Yes, C.C. Rider, see what you done, done
No, C.C. Rider, see what you done, done
You have made me love you

Now your man done come
I'm gonna buy me a pistol
Honey, long as I am tall
Lord, I'm gonna buy me a pistol

Just as long as I'm tall
I'm gonna shoot that man
And just look at him fall

C.C. Rider, where did you stay last night?
Oh-ho, C.C. Rider, where did you stay last night?
Yeah, your shoes ain't laced
Your clothes ain't fittin' you right.

    Oops wrong song! I do not know this version! The chorus is the same but the verses are completely different. I prefer Elvis' verses!

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
