As promises of never-ending love go, this isn’t terribly optimistic.
It’s like Alan Jackson didn’t get the songwriters manual that mandates flowery and unrealistic promises to walk a thousand miles and rope the moon and such.
So he wrote a plaintive
promise instead. He’ll try. That’s it.
And somehow, that’s more romantic than the most figurative metaphor could ever be.

I agree completely. I’ve always thought the more realistic approach to a love song was terrific. I also don’t understand why more writers didn’t try and duplicate this.
I agree. This is one of my favorite love songs just for the sheer reality of it.
A lovely single.
One of my favorite singles from any artist, this is easily one of the best from Alan.
