Dear Tim McGraw,
I am a fan… Others may find country music depressing but I have always found it to be filled with truth, hope and the harsh reality of life. I found comfort in your music, smiles in tears and laughter in others.
On the night after Noel killed himself, my divorce was pending and I felt pretty darn low… a depth of such despair that I never want to feel or see that hole again in my life. That night, I heard for the first time the song “Bring on the rain“ you sang with Jo Dee Messina and I played it over and over and over and over again for days…. in my car on my way to work and on my way home from work… until I believed that “tomorrow IS another day and I’m thirsty anyway, so bring on the rain”.
I felt less alone because for somebody to have written the lyrics of so many songs you sing, means they must have felt it too at some point and understood how I felt.
“The Cowboy In Me”
I don’t know why I act the way I do
Like I ain’t got a single thing to lose
Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy
I guess that’s just the cowboy in me
I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I still wake up fightin’ mad
At where this road I’m heading down might lead
I guess that’s just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I’ve done for foolish pride
The me that’s never satisfied
The face that’s in the mirror when I don’t like what I see
I guess that’s just the cowboy in me
Mr. Mc Graw…. I may need a cowboy hat because I look crap on a horse, but then although I can sing country I’m never gonna be a cowgirl – but thank you for spending many lonely nights with me…. and making me feel that you singing “Just to see her smile“ – is just for me.
Thank you Tim for “taking me away from here, making it seem I’m a million miles away, another time, another place…”
“I love it, I like it, I want some more of it.” so let “set this circus down”.

PS. Your music have gotten me through some tough ass days…. thank you.
