Topic: I heard a Kenny Rogers song that I never heard before and it's pretty damn interesting

It came out in 1977 and has nice synth sweeping lines. Now the lyrics, that's something else. If you took it literally, it makes Rogers sound like he's a homo. So I looked up the deal with this song. It is said that he was inspired by talking to singer Jessi Colter who was married to singer Waylon Jennings, and she was not happy with Jennings' carrying on. That makes the song makes sense that way, that Rogers is singing as a lady character.
