Marry for money...

Marry for money, you can always learn to love.

Trace Adkins sings a song that really matches this topic. Added value: the video is amusing, indeed. 

She was pretty, she was smart
she was witty, Yeah, she had charm
Cupid shot me
that's what got me down the aisle. 

But that match made in heaven went straight to hell

split up our possessions, put the house up for sale

and I learned a lesson I won't be forgetting
the next time around.

 

I'm gonna marry for money I'll be so damn rich it ain't funny I'm gonna have me a trust fund, yacht club, hot tub piece of the pie

Find me a sweet sugar mama With a whole lot of zeros and commas Don't really care if she loves me She can even be ugly I'm gonna marry for money

I won't have to love her family
I won't have to like her friends
and if it works out like I planned it,
I won't ever have to work again

[Repeat Chorus]

Y'all I'm gonna fly to Hawaii

On a Lear Jet the old lady buys me
I'll call her sweet heart & honey

if she's a hundred and twenty

I'm gonna marry for money...

I dont care if she loves me
She can be really ugly
I'm gonna marry for money

Oh, cha-ching mucho dinero


Come over here you good lookin' thing, you
There's your walker in the corner
Over over...

ON COUNTRY MUSIC

By the way, how do you like country music? In a way, country music is often seen as a portrait of American culture... Is it truly so?  Does country music really offer a comprehensive picture of the average American? Consider for a moment the keywords for most country songs:

Backwoods, cowboy hats, rednecks, momma, trucks, dirtroad, love lost, love gain, someone died, someone's dog died, patriotic fight for our rights, religious theme, tractors, farm, farming, Dixie, the South, hunting, fishing, partying, boots, jeans, rough, honkytonk, beer, whiskey, did I mention momma? 

As someone stated, country music is a way of life with the songs chronicalizing the journey of the path we lead. If the song touches you, then you know it.


Reflection: If you had to select a music style that represents the average Spaniard, what would you pick?
