I was bummed to not see any comments for this song! Well I heard Miranda Lambert's cover of the song and found out it was originally by Emmylou Harris. I love this song. I think it's about a girl finally getting rid of this guy and moving on. "easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman and harder to kill the ghost of a no good man..." I love this line. I write it down everywhere. But there are some parts to the song that make me think she is trying to get over this guy by moving on to the next and skipping out before she gets hurt again, she has another action plan, or a wild card up her to sleeve, so she won't get hurt. I love this.
some corrections though, i'm pretty sure she says, I'll be ridin high in a fandangled sky and don't worry bout me i got a wild card up my sleeve.
@MsChizzy I love it to! One is well advised to always have a wild card up one's sleave. Plan "B" makes it a' good again. Susanna Clark & Carlene Carter wrote this thing in a minor key .. sad .. with brilliantly optimistic word lyrics "fandangled sky". It's been my mantra since 1981 when Emmy lou sang it during her 1981 Quarter Moon tour in Madison.
