My dad worked in a factory so apparently he was exposed to a lot of country music? After he had a stroke, my mother took over the gardening and started planting rose bushes all over the place, complaining that she had asked my dad to plant more roses over the years, but he never listened to her, and now she was in charge and she was going to have her roses! My dad, grinning, would reply to my (totally non-musical) mother, "I never promised you a rose garden!" So yeah, I hear ya!
