in the faith hill version, it's a very rich housewife, but in the lori mckenna version, i feel it's very different. i think it's a small town, very poor and, based on some of her other songs, she married young. i don't know if she rushed into her marriage or not, but it sounds like, at one point, she and her husband had a lot of fun at one point. But now they have children and he works all day and is miserable. I think she regrets staying in the small town and now it is too late for her to run away. she's bored, miserable and desperate.
