That's what a good wife would do
But you're only cheating yourself
Choosing him over the truth"

You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!"

Rude (A Dad's Response) (Benji and Jenna Cowart)

"You say you want my darling for the rest of your life
Well you got to make more than burgers and fries
Get out of your moma's basement boy
And get you a life
Son you are 28
Don't you think it's time"

Rude (The Daughter's Side of the Story) (Nicky Costabile)

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

answered by:

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels (Kitty Wells)

"It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong"
