So a couple days ago I tuned my car radio into a country music station and heard "As If." I immediately knew it was Sara Evans and I immediately was filled with joy. (Okay, some hyperbole there. Or a lot.) Anyway, I knew it was going to be on her new album. I got home and googled about and was a little disappointed. Sigh. Her next album was going to be her "Greatest Hits."

That was a little disappointing because I already have all her albums. Even her first, Three Chords and the Truth. So I guess I'll be downloading from iTunes. (Yay! the iTunes age!)

I've only heard "As If" once, but in the classic country way, it knows how to flip a phrase around. Here are the lyrics, stolen from one of those umpteen lyric sites out there. And I'm presenting it to you without pop-ups. (Everyone... Yay!)

As If

Ooh yeah

I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine
Baby let me believe that you're perfect
At least for a little while

You don't have to tell me what you're thinkin'
You can keep all that to yourself
Baby we got such a good thing going
Don't show me that you're someone else

{Chorus}
Cause I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed I'm acting as if

We don't have to have that conversation
Baby don't ya think it's goin' fine
We don't need to send out invitations
To tell the world that you're mine

{Chorus}
Cause I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me

I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed I'm acting as if

As if your sweet kiss is never gonna fade away
And the way you look at me will never change

Cause I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans,
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine

Cause I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely

I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely

Unless there's something I've missed
Unless there's something I've missed
I'm acting as if

Oooh yeah

Oh I'm acting as if
