radio request in a small town gets a girl thinkin'
April 17, 2008

Cin called earlier and woke me up to tell me she had just heard a “requested” song on the radio that came from my town…a song by Keith Anderson called “I Still Miss You.” She said it fit my situation so well, and she knew how much I love Keith Anderson (I drove 4 hours to Atlantic City a few years back to see him perform, and the show was amazing!)…so she thought I was the one who had requested it.

I hadn’t heard the song yet, so I immediately went online to check it out. So, no, it wasn’t my request…but my heart certainly goes out to whoever that person is.

The lyrics are eerily perfect for me…

”I Still Miss You” by Keith Anderson

I've changed the presets in my truck
so those old songs don't sneak up
they still find me and remind me
yeah you come back that easy
try restaurants I've never been to
order new things off the menu
that I never tried cause you didn't like
two drinks in you were by my side

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you
I still miss you baby

I never knew til you were gone
how many pages you were on
it never ends I keep turning
and line after line and you are there again
I dont know how to let you go
you are so deep down in my soul
I feel helpless so hopeless
its a door that never closes
no I don't know how to do this

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
and I still miss you
I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah

Even now…after all of this…I guess I really do still miss him…
