In the year 2525. My wife hates that song. Ha!
Hers was Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot. She gets the better song, but I don’t know if I’ll tell her.
But I like yours too Marko. Ok, maybe the lyrics aren’t all that “Christian”, but “it has a nice beat and I you can dance to it.”
“If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you!”

I’m screwed either way.
